I'd mention a certain type made by a manufacturer that has a horsey as a symbol but that'll be a shoo-in. So I'll pick one that's not quite so obvious:

The Dan Wesson Model 15 .357 Magnum revolver.

 

[DerRottweiler]

I submit the Browning Hi Power!

 

[Mike Irwin]

S&W Model 19, .357 Mag.

 

[SnWnMe]

K-22/Model 17

 

[Majic]

I to will resist the high profile which will most definitely be on alot of minds, and pick one of it's stable mates...The Detective Special.

 

[AZ Husker]

I'd like to nominate the gun that finally jumpstarted Colt (and almost buried them): The early Kimber Custom Classic with the Clackamas, Oregon rollmark.

 

[jercamp45]

Dah!! America's Pistol...92 years young!

The Colt/Browning Model of 1911 .45 caliber service pistol
And subsequent variations!!
Easy enough!!

[Brian Williams]

I will put in either or both a S&W mod 13 or 58, the ultimate M&P

 

[tiberius]

S&W Chief's Special - j-frame revolver.

 

[papaone]

The greatest

Raven .25

 

[Ky Larry]

S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum Dirty Harry Special!! Remember,this is the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off. Do you feel lucky,punk?

 

[critter]

HK P7 M8

 

[cslinger]

Gee first choice SIG 220..........taken by the illustrious Ala Dan

Next choice the P7M8..............taken by critter.

Next choice old JMB's 1911..............of course taken already.



I guess I am going to have to say the Colt Single Action Army. Pretty high tech in it's day and a design that is still produced in many variations and still plenty viable for use in it's intended purpose.


SIG 220 really is the tops though, One true sword and all that.

 

[PCRCCW]

Simple....the CZ75 and its variants.

Shoot well

 

[Prodigalshooter]

I'm in agreement about most of the above selections (except for the Ravan ), but I'll suggest the RUger double action revolvers, be they SP101, GP100, or Security Six, they are American made, sturdy accurate machines.

 

[Raz]

Maybe too "young" to be classic .. but I would like to nominate the Springfield XD9.

I think it has all the makings for a future "classic"... and deserves a place in the Hall of Fame.

I've never before been into polymer ... but I LOVE this gun!



-Raz

 

[WhoKnowsWho]

Since everybody has voted for everything else I would/could vote for... and since I like this one so much.

HK USP40 Fullsize

 

[MJRW]

Glock 17.

 

[rappa]

Glock 17. Even though I don't own one (have a G19), love 'em or hate 'em ya' gotta include the one the started the 'polymer revolution'.

 

[SDC]

I'd nominate the Colt Walker, and the 1906 Luger.

 

[scotjute]

The Colt 1836 Paterson revolver should be the first one on the list. It was the ground breaker.

 

[Ala Dan]

ATT: papaone

PLEASE REREAD THE TEXT OF THE THREAD; AS NO JUNK GUNS WILL BE ALLOWED!

 

[foghornl]

The S&W Model 10, and/or its predecessor, the Military & Police.

[Whenever I hear the term "Service Revolver", the blue 4" Mdl 10 is what pops to mind]

 

[Langenator]

There seem to be lots of votes on here for people's current favorites...with the noted exceptions of the Colt SAA and the Luger...so, going in the other direction...

The 1896 broomhandle Mauser...with a spot in the case for the variant carried by Han Solo
