My fav is the S&W m19 2-1/2."I know it's been awhile since I posted, but just picked up a Smith and Wesson model 19-3 with a 2 1/2 inch barrel. Will post some pictures later (I hope)
1919 vintage Remington Model 51 380 Auto. An elegant weapon from a more civilized time. Very fine choice for a Sunday and holiday carry gun. Star Wars quote seemed appropriate, given the movie premieres today.

I've got an R51. Have had both Models 12 and 14. Pedersen disassembly isn't bad once you get in Mr. Pedersen's head. Pedersen =/= Browning.One of my favorites, as long as you retain your equanimity during reassembly. Few pistols are as thin or point so well, though it's not a tank, like the Colts.
Nice find!The Remington 14 1/2 carbines are quite rare. By far the rarest of the Model 14 family. I lucked into this one at a price that I could afford several years ago. Haven't seen one since. Some estimate less than a 1000 were produced in 38-40 and 44-40 calibers only. They are very slick to run and I prefer it to a (gasp!) Winchester lever action. The 14 1/2 rifles with a 22-inch barrel in the same calibers are more common. The most common are the model 14s in .25, .30, .32 and .35 Remington calibers. Although the carbines in these calibers can be hard to find too.
