Depends on who you ask. Some people said Colt was Left Handed and put the gate on the Right… Other Say differently

Of course we all have favorites.
But if your favorites are not among my favorites,
then your mental acumen is seriously in doubt.

My 686 no – is certainly a keeper. I love this gun. It's actually in the top five of my handguns

My favorite is my S&W 327 Night Guard
A revolver that is vying for first place on the “Favorites List” is my S&W 25-15
And just because @Mark_Mark loves stainless guns with brown wooden grips here is my Ruger Vaquero.45 Colt.

I am right there with you on the S&W 624. I have other revolvers chambered in 44 Special but my 4” 624 is probably my favorite.

Mine would be pretty much anything N Frame. Would love to land a Model 25 in .45Colt in either 4" or 5" barrel, if they even made a 5".

2 favorites equally, my Models 25 and 57.
I used to shoot clay pigeons at the 100 yard berm with it. Hit one about once a cylinder. Really proves short barrels can shoot, it’s just tougher with the shorter sight radius

This is my current favorite, my 28s are right up there with it.
Sam Colt was dead long before a cartridge revolver with his name on it was built.

My favorite revolver? Well, it will be a S&W, 45 ACP revolver, but which one? I have 4”, 5 1/2”, and 6 1/2” barrels.
I carry a 4” daily but really enjoy my Model 1917s. My 6 1/2 Target revolvers are fun also.
Hmmm, decisions, decisions! I will need to get back to you on that question…

well, not a Colt Historian, but that Loading Gate on the Left side FEELS RIGHT!

Right at this moment?
2020 Colt SAA .45 Colt. Just total charm and sex. Distilled.
Ask me in ten minutes and I might say Something else. Such is the way of gun ownership.

That’s a beauty. I love the grip panels. What kind of wood are they?

I'd have to give the nod to the Bisley Blackhawk 45 on the left. The Super Black on the right was my very first, and for a long time my only, revolver.
The Bisley I got a few yrs back, wasn't such a good shooter. The chambers were all over the place small. I sent it out for a hone job, and it's as good in my hands as my FA83 357. It has a great trigger, and I can comfortably shoot it all day with its favorite 8.1gr True Blue/255SWC load. Of all my centerfires, it is usually out with whatever I initially planned to shoot that session. It won't be going anywhere til they read the will

My favorite gun depends on the task the gun is meant for. I like j-frame revolvers or micro semi-autos for concealed carry.
I would not expect these guns to be very effective against dangerous game.
On the other side, my 460XVR does not make a good concealed carry gun
All that said, I’m a 1911 junkie so about any 1911 is a favorite.
I also like my S&W Model 25 revolvers. I have examples in several barrel lengths in 25 Colt (-5) and 45 ACP (-2).
But, both of these styles of guns are not very concealable as my J-frames or my Colt Mustang type pistols.
