What are your working guns?
Not sure if this has been done before and I'm too lazy to use the search function For me it is my Marlin 1894SS, Henry .22, and S&W heavy barrel M10 .38 SPL. These are what get used the mst when woods bumming or just taking a walk through the woods. Sometimes I will supplement the S&W M60 in lieu of the M10 though.
Re: What are your working guns?
Mine vary as the seasons come and go. During dove season or bird hunting- my midland hammer 12 bore and my bond derringer. During Squirrel season or hunting, its a .22 du jour, and the smith model 60. During rifle season, my 92 and smith in .357, or my .475 and 1886. During muzzleloader seasons, my Emig .54 longrifle. During the rest of the year, my 92 is my constant companion and my hand gun varies between the Bond derringer, the Smith model 60 3 inch, or the Sig 226 Combat. I also bum around with my take down longbow, fishing rods or hiking pack. With those usually either the model 60 or the Bond go with.
next year, I plan to do all the hunting from dove season through rifle season, and all the late season small game, with my 12 bore Paradox.

Re: What are your working guns?
"Working guns" are a PT1911 in 45acp and a Rock River AR-15.
"Bumming around guns" can vary quite a bit, but usually involve the Sidewinder 454 revolver and Puma 454 trapper.

Re: What are your working guns?
Good topic!
Most carried. G26 & Cobra Derringer .38 spl and S&W Model 66.
Was packing a Colt .25 ACP until my Dad repossesed it.
(he was afraid I'd lose it)
Long guns.
Marlin 94P/ .44mag favorite trail gun(with my SBH or S&W K22)
Marlin LTDIII 45-70 for the big stuff.
Model 97 Riot gun for the Home defender (along with G19, 1911 & AR-15).
Springfield 30-06 sporter for the "If I can see it I can hit it stuff"
& Marlin 39a for the little stuff.
Though my new (to me) 99h Savage/ 30-30 has been my carbine of choice lately.

Re: What are your working guns?
I guess by 'working guns' we'd be talking the ones used most, most of the year. So I'll go with the ones out of the safe right now which are usually outside of the safe.
4 3/4" .44 Ruger flattop--packed every day in the hills
24" .44 Marlin Cowboy--packed most every day in the hills
Colt Officers Model .45acp--on bedstand and packed when I go to town
2x22

Re: What are your working guns?
Rifle: 356 Win. Big Bore 94 with my favorite Cast load.
Shotgun(Turkey): Bad weather will use my Win. 37A in 12 Gauge, better weather I will take either of my Granfather's Singles: a Win. 37 or shortened H and R Topper with screw in full choke.
Pistol: I usually pack my Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 Mag. everywhere I go, with 44 Spec. loads. Concealing that gun in warm weather is a challenge, but I've passed under the eye of many a glaring Soccer/Obamamama's toting that pistol, with nary a hitch.
For Play, I love em all!
Edit: also should include my Early Lancaster Flintlock Rifle in 54 Cal., which I will use for late season flintlock this year..

Re: What are your working guns?
I'm either carrying a 1911 or a .44 special revolver on my belt when I go armed. I like the way a 1911 handles and it packs quite comfortably inside the waistband for me. My revolvers are mostly single actions and I carry them in traditional western belt rigs.
My choice in long gun has generally been a lever action. Of late, that choice has become my Winchester '94 Trapper in .44 mag. I like that it is light, handy, and shares ammunition with my revolvers.

all my guns work, but none are working guns. My liveliehood has nothing to do with hunting or shooting so my guns are all for play.

Re: What are your working guns?
I almost always have my derringer on me.
I shoot all my center fire rifles equally.
Other than the derringer, I shoot my S&W 686 357 mag more than my other pistols.

Re: What are your working guns?
My most often used "working gun" is my Kahr 9 followed by my Glock 17 poleece trade-in that rides in my Jeep. Several others pull protection duty as well but the rest are all for recreation of some kind - hunting, target shooting, etc.

Re: What are your working guns?
Issued Glock 23 and Remington 870P shotgun
Personally owned Glock 27 authorized for off duty only (rarely carry it, though) G23 in Galco Summer Comfort holster works 98% of the time for CCW.
Mossberg 590A1 with Surefire forend and Vang Comp porting under my bed. These are also the weapons I shoot the most.
Recreational firearms;
Pre-ban Colt AR15 A2 (nuclear power plant security trade in)
Winchester M1 Garand gotten through DCM in 1989
M94 30-30
S&W Model 10 4" skinny barrel round butt - this is by far the most accurate handgun I have! (old authorized duty weapon in the bygone revolver only days at work)
1911 .45 (Essex 1911 type frame, WW11 Colt 1911A1 slide
S&W 66 4" barrel
Glock 22, 23, 26
Hi Standard Double Nine .22 (inherited from my wife's uncle - he won it on a punchboard in 1963)
Win. M70 30-06
still too many to list - am considering thinning the herd to buy a couple of levers and/or BP rifles (with a teenage shooter son in the house, sometimes you have to get two of some things)
will post pictures soon - still too technologically 'tarded to accomplish this without help from teenage children!

Re: What are your working guns?
These are my working guns. 39A-22, 94 357, 336 30wcf. All parkerized, have fool proof sights with fiber optics in the front. The second picture is my everyday carry gun. Security 6 Ruger with ivory stocks and some light engraving by Powley.
Re: What are your working guns?
During bird season I prefer my simple NEF single shot 12 gauge even though I have fancier scatterguns. For close in woods hunting I usually grab my 1894 Marlin 44 mag but on the open I use a model 70 Winchester in 30-06 though a BLR in 308 would be nice. A Ruger 10-22 for general plinking fun.

Re: What are your working guns?
I have a hard time defining any of my guns as "working guns". I have plinkin guns and hunting guns. They all crossover into HD guns. If by working guns you mean which guns spend the most time in the field I can go with that.
Tied for #1 is my two 10/22's. One wears a 4x scope and is used mainly for rabbits and squirrels. But it's also the one that rides in the truck during hunting season because it will also work for coon and fox callin (I like 1 power scopes for coon callin and guns with more range for fox) and I'll shoot at coyotes with whatever is available. 10/22 #2 wears a reddot and is my coon hunting gun. Which BTW, 75% my time spent in the field is coon hunting thus it gets a tie with the other 10/22. Last sunday gun #1 accounted for some rabbits and squirrels, this weekend #2 has accounted for one coon today and hopefully many more tomorrow. It's very rare that I go hunting that a 10/22 isn't in my hands or at a minimum in the truck.
#2 in the field is my Savage .22-250. It's been my coyote/fox gun for 8 or 10 years.
#3 is my 870 slug gun. it spends 5 days straight with me every deer season. But it never leaves the safe other than that.
Handguns are dead weight to me anymore and reserved for plinkin.
Sadly, a lever gun doesn't leave home much. I do however have some new 125gr reloads I need to check POA with and it many go after coyotes tomorrow morning. It may replace the Savage for coyotes.

Re: What are your working guns?
My guns are all lazy . Not a working gun among them.
Oh, they will all shoot but they just like to lay around in the safe all the time.

Re: What are your working guns?
Working guns:
S&W 19 .357 or a 1991a1 for carry purposes
Rifles: lately my working rifle has been a Romanian PSL in 7.62x54R, but I'm leaning on the old Marlin 1985SS a bit more so that I can get back to my roots.
Shotgun: A Winnie Defender rests besides the bed, with a Stevens 311H series doing the bird downing when that needs to be done. All in 12 gauge of course.

Re: What are your working guns?
At work: S&W M&P40, M&P40 compact, J-frame 38, Rem 870, AR15, Rem 700 .308.
If it were up to me (maybe post-retirement) I'd probably go with a 5" 1911, or a 4" .357 or 44, .357 or .44 levergun, 870, Ruger .22 pistol.

I shoot all my center fire rifles equally.
Other than the derringer, I shoot my S&W 686 357 mag more than my other pistols.
Rifleman------.58 MOA ?? 300yds
What combo for that?? Can you repeat this on a pretty constant basis. That is unreal shooting!
If it's too much off topic just PM me!
