I like both revolvers and autos, but I almost always prefer to carry a wheelgun. I shattered my left forearm in 2015 and lacked the grip strength in my left hand to rack my Glock 19 slide for about six months after. I've practiced one-handed drills for autopistol operation, reloading and clearing malfs, but during that time I found that, for me at least, a revolver can be much more easily operated one-handed with either of my hands.
Back to the question: I tend to like service-type pistols. I have a SIG P47/210, Colt 1903, Husqvarna 1907, Manhurin/Walther PP (in .32), MAC 1935S, Star Modelo Super, 2 Astra M400s and 2 1911A1s. The SIG is the most accurate and expensive of the lot, but I probably enjoy shooting the blowback Astras and Husqvarna the most -- the snappy recoil of their heavy slides is different and fun.
