What are your favorite handguns?

This is constantly changing, but currently I like and shoot my Glock 19, Ruger GP-100, Ruger .44 SuperBlackhawk, and browning Buckmark.
 
Ruger SP-101 .357 Magnum. For my purposes, it could very well be the "one" handgun if I really had to choose.
However, I am looking forward to trying a '58 Remington. ;)
 
I do own a few Smiths, but my favorite two are:

S&W 627 PC (best feeling firearm I have ever owned)

S&W 686+ (between the two, that's fifteen rounds of .357 without reloading) should get the job done!
 
Attn: P97!

i have the same Hogue combat grips on my P90 and love them. now, what would it take to get you to trade slides with me?
when/where/how/by whom did you get that engraving? i love it!

Well, since this is plural, with no need to narrow it down to one: SIG P229, Ruger GP100, Speed Six, and SP101, Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special, Seecamp LWS-32, S&W L-, K-, and J-frames, and the Colt Single Action Army and its better derivatives.

I use SIG P229s, in .40 S&W, for police duty and 99% of my personal-time carry.
My agency requires us to buy our own weapons, mandates certain .40 autoloaders, and I am GLAD and GRATEFUL the P229 is on the "approved" list.

My single most favored individual handgun is a particular 4" GP100, which was my duty handgun for a while, notable on a very interesting night in the summer of 1993. Bidding starts at $15K. Just kidding about the bidding! Not for sale.
 
Any functioning 1911. After that, CZ 75, Ruger Blackhawk (44 specials out of 44 mag), Beretta Stampede (45 LC), and Ruger Single Six.
 
I've gotten into the habit of trading off or selling everything that's not a favorite...so everything in the safe is a favorite!!

Actually if I had to pick one it would be my S+W model 65 w/3" barrel. Nice looking, very versatile, carryable if necessary and just plain fun to shoot! It's a great gun for introducing new shooters but I still really enjoy shooting it, too.
 
Favorites=alluvum.

Whichever is in my hand at the moment you ask that question.

As a knee jerk response it would be any of mine from my Walther collection. I have a few that I like just as much but I always seem to end up carrying a Walther of some type.
 
.45 ACP Colt 1911 Combat Elite
9mm Beretta 92FS INOX
.44mag Ruger Redhawk
.357 S&W model 19-4 with 2.5 inch barrel
and finally my .22LR Sig Mosquito

I'd have to say my CZ82 because it was my first centerfire handgun (and it is still an all around great gun) and my P64. It may have one hell of a trigger pull, but it is built like a tank and I can count on it to work when I need it the most.
 
Favorites:

Colt Anaconda 44 Mag
Ruger Mk II Bull Barrel
Colt Cobra

Now the Short List of what I think is missing:

S&W 1066
a yet to be determined 1911
Sig p225
Maybe someday a John Linebaugh revolver

better cut it off here:D
