Here's my submission for favorite shooter.

This is my Ruger Old Army .45 caliber cap and ball revolver. The grips are imitation ivory from Dixie Gunworks and are engraved with my initials. I looked into having some custom metal engraving done, but found the cost extremely prohibitive.

Charged with 30 grains of "Triple Seven," six to eight inches of red flame issues forth from the muzzle followed by a loud "ker-boom" and an impressive cloud of white smoke. The recoil is gentle and on a good day, I can put six out of six inside a 4" circle at fifty feet.

The Luger "commercial" shooter I purchased from Hugh Clark comes in a close second and provides a very nice technical contrast to the Ruger.
