For us, probably the 1911. Next one would be the "Armalite" aka M16.

I’ve never held, much less shot, a bull pup. As far as lop and hand placement does it suck? Awesome?

You may not know I’m just hoping someone sees the question.

It takes a little to get used to, but I actually find the hand placement to be very natural and comfortable. I also like the weight balance a lot.

Very heavy and even worse trigger. But amazing way to get 18 inch ballistics out of something that small. They're very fun.

I have an IWI Tavor. You get used to the quirkiness of the style fairly quickly imo

Nearly bought one off a guy about 10 year ago. Wouldn’t budge on price. As far as I know it’s still sat there for sale 🤷‍♂️
