Good little article on the top 11 most American guns, good list. I might have added the S&W Scofield, but that's just me.

Landmark guns perhaps, but if you think popular, the list would be somewhat different. The '94 Winchester sold over 7 million for instance.

Not an M1 Carbine or an M1928?

I'm down with everything on the list after the 1911. Almost. Instead of the 870 I would pick the Mossberg 500, but then this list is I suppose trying to state the " Americanness" of these guns, not which ones we like or think is better or whatever.
Not saying those first 5 on the list aren't American icons, they're just a little ( and by little I mean a lot) dated.

The M1 carbine made the list, surpisingly--right at the end.
The 94 Winchester is conspicuous by its absence, but at least the lever action genre was represented by the Henry. But, what, no DA revolver of any kind? No S&W K-frame, no Colt Detective Special, no Model 29?
Surely ONE of them should be on there. (And no Magnums, either?) Heresy! Blasphemy!
