Question for Die-Hard Revolver Fans

For me, it would be 1911's, Hi-Powers, and old-school metal frame SIG's (the 220 series. The 220 is my favorite .45 auto, maybe even more so than any 1911...).

 

I like S&W N-Frames the best, with DW 715's and 15-2's close behind.

In semiautos, I like most DA/SA metal models, all steel the best, with CZ/Clones, S&W G3, Sig P series, and Beretta 92/clones among my favorites.
1911's are for one thing, to sell to people who love them. I haven't owned one, even for a day, in many years.

 

But....I'll hastily add that the Browning Hi Power (in both calibers) is right up there with the 1911.

Ah...MCB...possibly to our collective detriment...LOL, YMMv I know. Rod

 

The first successful DA/SA American designed semi auto pistol was S&W Model 39 and 39-2
This is the second generation 639 slightly modernized and all stainless steel.

 

CZ 75 does it for me.

 

Always thought the CZ 75 was a beautiful pistol. But it took years & years before I finally picked one up. I'll be adding more soon. Of course the 1911 is a given. Here is my CZ 75 PCR & a somewhat recent group shot of my 1911s.

 

The 3.5 inch model 27 is exactly as you described.

 

Nice Smith...I picked up this 539 ANIB from an estate sale. Still unfired; I need to fix that.

 

BHP and Kahr K9 are my favorite SAs. Both are extremely accurate and the BHP puts up with handloads like a revolver would. The Glocks and the Shields are carry pistols, and though I do like them and they're good guns, they just seem like tools.

Never really got into 1911s, though I tried. If I'm going to shoot 45, I have more fun with an old Ruger P90 and a P345. Accuracy isn't as good as my DW 1911, but they're just as reliable.

 

Steel w/ a hammer. 1911

 

Kind of an odd way to post a topic that should go in under semi autos, but I'll play = Glock 42.
