    Default Rifles vs. Handguns

    Just curious to see what’s everyone favorite to collect and fire? I’m sure I do not need to remind everyone what are the pros and cons are of each.
    I myself own both, however.........Rifles, hunting or tactical, have a far bigger place in my heart.
    What’s yours?

    I'm a mix of both, I collect handguns far more than rifles, and shoot my handguns far more than my rifles, but in an actual shoot out, I'll take the rifle/shotgun any day.

    Although I own more rifles than handguns, I shoot the handguns far more.

    I guess it would depend on the scenario as to my weapon of choice when things get hot.

    Guess I would have to say Scatter Gun or a Thompson

    I shoot pistols way more than rifles and it shows in my performance while hunting and at CMP matches.

    One of my New Year's resolutions is to spend a lot more time on the rifle range this year.

    Not suprisingly, it was 50/50 when I came in and chose handguns. I would be equally as unimpressed if tghe next vote brings it back to 50/50. Both choices are just as likely. I just happen to own 4 handguns to my two rifles.

    I shoot handguns more, because that is what I carry on my person 16 hours a day. Therefore, I had to vote for handguns.

    Rifles, More accurate, greater range and larger capacity. Nothing against the hand gun, I carry one at work. Just my personal prefrence .

    I like both, but I'd have to say I enjoy rifles slightly more.
