As a gun owner, you have not truly lived until you have shot a .50 cal BMG. I will have one soon.

Other than that, in a rifle, hard to go wrong with a .500 Nitro Express. Krieghoff, if you please.

Shotgun: Perazzi or Krieghoff. O/U in 12 gauge. Or a Browning Fabrique-Nationale in Sweet 16 with the gold trigger.

Handgun: Why argue with the Colt Python .357, the 1911 .45, and the old standby of the S&W .44 Mag, stainless with 8.5 inch barrel.

Can’t get much more manly or costly, than these.

I loev guns, but I don’t think those guns are particularly
“manly weapons”. Effective and useful but not manly.

A manly weapon is a battle axe, two handed sword, samauri sword, long lance for use on horseback, Hawken Rifle, or Pennsylvania Rifle. Mabye even a Brown Bess, 1903 Springfield, M1917 or M1 Garand.

THOSE are MANLY weapons. But then, I’m an atavist.

A woman or child could use most of the weapons listed here.

Good artilce though. I saved it.
