No, but my son will.

The Glock 26 that I was carrying in the delivery room the day he was born, and the AR lower I had engraved with his initials, birthdate and our family crest.

So now we know what brand of toothpaste you use?

My favorite 22lr was given to me by my Uncle. 521T Remington w/ iron peep sights. Great shooter, 50's manufactor date.
#2. S&W M10 4in thin bbl, blued w/ wood grips. Bought used in 1983 for house/personal protection, then to LEO Academy, then in a nightstand drawer till 2001.
Was used, had to reblue due to holster wear. Pristine condition now. I used a M66 as a LEO, then a G22. Kept the 38 spec as a back up for Wifey while on duty.
Classic handgun.
#3. 442 S&W 38 spec. Was to replace 2 snubbies stolen in my home burglary in in 1994. Frosted nickel, Centennial style, no visible hammer-great pocket gun.
#4. Glock 19. Bought from a Dispatcher from my PD. She gave me a deal, didn't really want any guns around her house. Was unfired when I received it.

there is more, but keeping this current.

My Grandfather's Astra 300 from WWII. He passed away before I was born, so it has a little extra meaning for me.
Still shoots ok.

S&W M15 pics w/ DAD

Great pic of former LEO and Dad! The M15 was a well received firearm in the Police world. Many carried those, and the M66 357 mag version. Our local Sheriff Dept carried the M66, so as a Deputy Marshal we did as well. The K frames have been solid shooters, magnums usually shot with 38 Spec + rds, and 125 gr HPs for duty.
My M10 above post was an issue firearm for US Steel Plant Protection Dept. My Grandfather had worked there for 30 yrs, and they replaced them with the M15s.
It proved to be my favorite firearm, looked worn, but dependable. After a reblue job, it is mint again, and wearing the original numbered Magna stocks, like your Dad's M15. Great guns.
Enjoy.

My Grandfather gave me a 1948 Marlin 30-30 when I was born. I have many fond memories of packing it all over the Cascades in South Western Oregon on hunting trips with my Dad as a boy. I still have it, it is still totally functional, and I have no intention of ever letting it go. I also have my Great Grandfather's 1882 double barrel 10 gauge Remington shotgun but it is not functional and is still around for sentimental reasons only.
