What's your favorite handgun?

[Nightcrawler]

Of all the handguns you've owned or shot, what has been your favorite? Or, is it too hard to tell?

In my short years of shooting, I've shot the a Charles Daly 4" .45 (my first handgun), a Hi-Point .45, a Ruger P89 9mm, a S&W M28 4" .357, a M57 6" .41 Magnum, an M25-5 6" in .45 Colt, and of course my CZ-97.

I probably had the biggest grin on my face when I was shooting my .41 Mag yesteday. It's so much fun. But I couldn't choose between my children....

Wow Nightcrawler- What A Can Of Worm's!

Most folk's know these fact's:

a) my favorite self-loader is the .45 caliber SIG-Sauer P220A

and

my favorite revolver is the Smith & Wesson 'Highway Patrolman" .357 magnum

The rest is pretty easy to figure out. Cuz I also like the
SIG-Sauer P228 and Smith & Wesson models 629-5 .44
magnum with a 5" barrel; and a 686-5 .357 magnum with
a 6" barrel.

Best Wishes,

Nina. Twotone, accurate as heck, sweeeeeeeeeeet trigger, carbon fiber grips, cheap to shoot, what else can I ask for?

I've given up trying to find a favorite because several of my guns are so close. Those that are on my favorite list:
-CZ 75B
-Charles Daly 1911 (really any 1911, it is just that I own the CD)
-S&W 65LS
-S&W 19
-S&W 586

Those guns alternate, sometimes one is on top, sometimes another. They are all so close that I really can't say for sure which I prefer.

If you want to do a "if you can only have one" deal I'd go w/ the 65LS due to versatility (though w/ more use it is possible the 4" 19 may win since 4" isn't that much harder to CCW than a 3", when a possibility which it isn't here anyway, and it gives a little more sight radius and a little more velocity).

1911's and K frames

 

[Brian Williams]

S&W Mod 13 3" heavy barrel, Ajax grips.

S&W 940 9mm in a J frame wow cool!

 

[caz223]

Favorite DA wheel, Lew Horton 686 2 1/2" barrel.
A true 50 yard snubby.
Favorite auto, H&K usp compact in .45 acp.
Concealable 50 yard pistol.
Favorite SA wheel, Toss-up between .41 mag blackhawk, and .45 colt bird'shead sheriff's model vaquero (Gary Reeder-ized.).
70 yard groups with the blackhawk, the bird'shead isn't a target gun, it's a point-and-shoot sorta thing.
You have no idea how hard it was to pick 4 favorites out of my collection, much less one.

If there was a fire, and I could only save one, I guess it would be the Lew Horton special, I could still buy the others but the snubby is no longer being made to that level of craftsmanship.

Probably the personal faves out of my collection would be (in no particular order) my P7M8, my G29, my Springfield Pro, my PC13 and my 5" 625-4.

It'd probably be different if I listed them tomorrow.

With the coming of spring this old man's fancy turned towards a 4" Model 29 Mountain Gun in .44 mag. Too much fun...I need more rifle practice than this revolver is leaving me time for.
