Actually, that’s Ma Deuce (M2). And that’s not all; he is also the father of many lever-action rifles and shotguns (by Winchester); Colt and FN pistols; the B.A.R.; and the Browning A5 autoloader shotgun.

The M2 has to be his crowning achievement. The thing has been in production since 1919! It has armed everything from biplanes to robots. It is the ultimate testimony to the idea that if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

Leaving the 1911 off that list is something akin to a sin.

For me, the 1911 is NUMBER 1 on that list. You left it off!

Did you say A-5? I've got a passing acquaintance with them...

The Slim collection, and a 1953 Sweet 16 has been added since. The one on the far left is a 1914 straight stock 16, one of the last guns made before the German occupation in WWI. Does it shoot? Just like the day it was made.

The Ma Duce is the Italian model, named for Mussolini's mother.
