S&W Model 18-3. No pic, but I picked it up for a song, and find it to be well balanced, with a decent trigger, accurate, reliable and cheap to run. I can't think of anything bad to say about it.
That is like asking "Who is your favorite child?" But since we are limiting ourselves to DAs I will have to pick my S&W Model 27. She is only a few years old and has the cursed IL but I like how she points and she is smooth as glass.
I have four Smithies. It is hard to say which one is the most favorite! LOL That said, however, I truly believe my S&W 38sp K-frame, pre-Model 14, Target Master is my favorite. It shot well for my Dad and it shoots equally well for me. Not to insult my other Smithies: also have Model 17 and Model 17-3 (K-frames) and finally have a Model 36 Chief's Special (J-frame) which is almost virgin. They are all wonderful firearms and exhibit the craftmanship embodied by S&W. Just love'em all!
When I first posted to this thread 4 years ago, it was my S&W 642. Now, I own a quite a few more revolvers and it is tough to pick a favorite. I suppose if I had to choose just one, my S&W Model 17-0 / K-22 is the most dear to me.
As others have said, "favorite" is a tough discriminator to nail down.
If I were limited to owning only one revolver (which might or might not be saying the same thing) out of my current line-up, it would be either a S&W Pro-60 or a Model 65 (both with 3" barrels).

In the '70s I had a 25 6 1/2" in .45 ACP/AR and always missed it.
and a .45 revolver is a good companion piece to a/my 1911.
