Ruger P-95
It was the only quality hand gun I could afford years ago and is still the hand gun I would stake my life on.
I now have several other high quality European hand guns but the one that I shoot the best and trust the most is the P-95.
If you want a Hand gun Hall of Fame the Ruger P-95 is one gun that deserves a place.

Well, if no one is going to vote for the first, and best, .357, I wiil - an Nframe S&W:
How about the great granddaddy of the modern service pistols?
- Harper's Ferry Pistol
Even by today's smokeless magnum standards, the old Horse Pistol is still quite formitable, with power levels that can approach and even surpass the .44 Rem Magnum.
Not bad for an almost 200 year old

In an attempt to come up with a gun not on the list, I'll add the Glock 20. It's a nice carry gun. It's a good hunting gun. It's developed a cult following, and a good reason why companies continue to manufacture 10mm ammunition.

Soooooooo, the 4" M24 .44 Special is a classic that I'll list...

Tex; Closer than I could have gotten from a picture of someone else's gun - Barrel is 5', the grips are Herrett's Troopers in fancy walnut. I've been thinking about getting a pair of the Roper's for a different gun.

SIG P226
Duh! The SIG P226 9mm. The sweetest shooting, most accurate, most beautiful combat pistol I've ever shot (and had the pleasure of owning as my first firearm!)

Crossed, they are the symbol of the U.S. Army MP Corps.
My vote goes to the rare, but ingenius LeMat.
Gotta agree with Rembrandt on both his point about HOF qualifications and the Luger toggle tops and with 4v50 Gary about the Liberator. A lot of the nominees are just variations of the excellent M1911, but Glocks are significantly different and deserve to be nominated despite their relatively recent arrival on the scene.
