Favorite Centerfire Handguns

Uberti Schofield replicas in 45LC

Any of the handful of 1911s that I own but definitely my Kimber in 38 Super

Ruger BH 45LC

S&W M&P 2.0 5” 9mm it feels amazing and shoots like a dream

Not the most practical, or what I would reach for in a gunfight, perhaps, but my "favorites" nonetheless.

.....That's like asking which of your kids is your favorite.

That's why I have so many different ones, couldn't make up my mind.

Favorite full size revolver:
Single action: Ruger Blackhawk 41 magnum
Double action: S&W K-38

Favorite full size semi: CZ75b 9mm

Favorite carry revolver: S&W Bodyguard 38 special +P

Favorite carry semi: S&W M&P Compact 9mm

Favorite cap and ball: Ruger Old Army

Actually, the single action revolver could have been a Single-Ten, Super Blackhawk 44 mag., or Blackhawks in 32 mag, 357, or 45 Colt/45 acp. I like them all.

To me favourite means accurate.
That's the reason why I love my Pardini GT9-1, SIG-Sauer P226, Norinco TT-Olympia, Weihrauch Target Trophy and last but not least my brand new Grand Power Q100.
The Walther P99 AS is not as accurate as the others but it is my nightstand gun so I still love and trust it enought...

Not so much. My wife could easily tell you which kid is my favorite. I couldn't even tell you my favorite handguns.

Guns are like golf clubs. You can’t have just one. There are many, many uses.

Anything in 327FM. If I had to pick just one of those I guess it would be GP100

Favorites:
Revolver - SRH toklat (although I picked up a FA 83 yesterday, but haven't shot it yet-will likely claim this title)
Semi auto - g20

40 S&W or 45 for the woods, 9mm for everything else.

Full size revolver-S&W Model 686
Full size semi-auto-Browning Hi-Power
Carry size revolver-S&W Model 649
Carry size semi-auto-Kahr CM9
Fun size revolver-Ruger Vaquero
Fun size semi-auto-Beretta Model 70S

I like that some have matched blades to their roscoes.

I have too many of both to have ultimate favorites, but I usually carry a Sig P938, a Benchmade autofolder, and a very small 5.11 fixed blade carried upside down ready for deployment on the sling I carry my phone on.

When it comes to big autos my Les Baers rule, and my bigger blade is a Puma Automesser that I bought in '74. But that is a blade that has seen much use.

When it comes to the favorite blade in my collection then it is Ken McFall's 8" ladder damascus blade with 8 thin spacers and a flat brass pommel custom mated to the elk horn grip in a custom made crocodile leather sheath worth every penny of the $1450 it cost me. I have a more valuable blade, a pamir kris that my dad brought back from Indonesia 50 years ago, but it is not my style.

The McFall bowie would get its first use if I decided to go on safari.

Favorite revolvers would include both Smith 625s, a 610 (10mm), a Mountain Lite .44spl, and my EAA Windicator .357 mag.

My G23!
I only have three handguns, all semi's! I probably never will know if there might be a revolver I'd like!
