What is your favourite handgun in the following categories:
1. Pre 1920 service handgun........Artillary Lugar
2. 1920-1950 service handgun.....1911
3. 1950-present service handgun......Browning High Power
4. Favourite handgun if you can have only one firearm.....Geo. Patton's Colt
5. Favourite handguns if you could have two handguns......Colt Patterson
6. The most beautiful handgun ever made (not because of aftermarket grips or engraving).....hands down, it has to be the Browning Renaissance Medalist.

1. Pre 1920 service hangun
The Luger-- because the 1911 was still needing more refinement into the 1911A1 before 1920
2. 1920-1950 service handgun
Colt 1911A1
3. 1950-present service handgun
Colt 1911 Combat Commander
4. Favourite handgun if you can have only one firearm.
A 1911A1 built by Larry Vickers using damascus Caspian slide over a Ti frame.
5. Favourite handguns if you could have two handguns.
Same as above along with a pre-1973 4" Royal Blue Colt Python .357 Magnum
6. The most beautiful handgun ever made (not because of aftermarket grips or engraving).
On a purely linear basis my favorite in the Inox Beretta 92FS. It looks timeless and has Italian styling lines that says that somebody took the time to make it look like more than the sum of its parts, unlike so many other "me too" black handguns out there. Even today when confronted by a huge wall display of demo pistols it leaps out.

2. See above
3. SIG-Sauer P220
4. HK USP Compact
5. HK USP Compact, Ruger GP100
6. HK P7M8 (the beauty is in the design)
Maybe I'm just an amateur (young 'un?), but I really don't care for the 1911...or other early firearms.
I chose the P220 because it's got the great SIG action that will actually fit in my hand. The P226 is a RCH too big.
The USPC fits my hand like no other. The GP100 because a revolver is what a semi is not.
The P7M8 is simply a work of engineering art. I can appreciate such things.
