My favorite is easily my 3" Model 65. I don't own nearly as many guns as a lot of other members but if I had to get rid of all but one, no question about which one I would keep.
5.5" Ruger Vaquero .45 Colt. I carry semiautos, so practical has nothing to do with it for me. This is the handgun that is my favorite to shoot, and has a huge variety of ammo choices.
A DW 715 Pistol Pack, I can take it totally apart in minutes, and put it back together almost as quickly as I took it apart, with no special tools. I have almost enough parts to build a econd gun already, just need a frame and the ball bearing and spring that hold the back of the cylinder. I think a two tone blue framed, with an SS cylinder and barrel would be different!
A quality double-action .44 Magnum revolver, 6" barrel or less, with stainless finish. I would choose the .44 Magnum due to its great versatility, the stainless finish due to living in the hot, humid, muggy South (sometimes it's that way in mid-Winter!)
I already posted by displaying a photo of my Colt King Cobra, but because I changed the grips recently and shot it for the first time with these Hogues, I'll say it again: For me, a 4 inch, stainless King Cobra. There may be better, and I've owned both Ruger GP-100s and a Smith 686, but The KC is my personal preference.
Mercifully, the challenge here is to pick one's one and ony REVOLVER, not one's one and only handgun. Given that limited challenge, I'll take my custom Ruger Bisley 44 Magnum with 4-5/8 barrel. This gun can handle all my steel plate and long range shooting, plinking, hunting. I'd leave the CCW concerns to my Browning Hi Power and other semi-autos.
Where the challenge to pick a revolver that would be my only handgun, my M19-3 2.5-inch would be my pick. I have made a committment to be separated from that gun only when absolutely necessary, and at the end of the day personal protection is my first priority where handguns are concerned.
My stainless Ruger Redhawk in 41mag with the barrel shortened to 4". Great balance, caliber will cover all my needs, super fun to shoot, dependable and very accurate. JMHO
