What is your absolute favorite handgun and caliber.

[Condition1]

I have always liked SA pistols way more than DA. Absolute favorite handgun is my Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 magnum made in 1979 with 98% bluing that can be loaded to light loads wiich I never do. And my Ruger Super Wrangler in 22LR/22 magnum is my second. I also have a Ruger Wrangler in 22lr. My 3rd would be my Rock Island Ultra Gov’t in 10mm that I replaced all the internal parts with Wilson Combat parts. And I’m working on a Ruger 22/45. I’ve put a TandomCross trigger and blast shield in but I haven’t gotten around to putting a trigger jod on it it yet. I own several more guns but these are my favorites. So what’s your’s.

Right now, Sig 226 XFIVE Legion in 9mm.

Colt SAA .45 Colt A Christmas Present from my Wife when there was no way we could afford it. She tutored to get the money.

My favorite semi-auto is the 1911 in either .45acp or .38 Super.
My favorite revolver is my S&W 4" Model 18 .22LR. Wonderfully accurate and just plain fun!

If I had to pick it would be a S&W 6906. It's the only gun I even moderately regret selling. It's a perfect size for carry. It has an adequate capacity.

The only reason I sold it is because it needed a repair and I had to hunt for the part. S&W told me they no longer support 3rd Gen handguns.

Now I carry a 4th generation Glock 26.

ETA 9mm

 

[KillerFord1977]

9mm
Sig 226 XFive Legion or tied with Sig 211GTO

 

[Old_Me]

i'd say a 1911, in 45 ACP

It all depends on what the adventure is that day....

Agree with Old_Me, 1911 in .45, especially to shoot. But I really don’t have a favorite. I own the guns I own because I enjoy shooting them all (and carrying mist), including 9mm pistols and revolvers in .32 H&R and .357/.38 sp. I just find shooting the 1911 .45s (I have four) more challenging to do well shooting with than the rest.

Since I don't have my 629 8.375" in 44mag anymore and as much as I like the 10mm I'm going with 357sig for favorite cartridge not caliber as i have 9x19's also! Favorite pistol with that cartridge...........it's either the 226 or m/p. I'm working on getting a 320 in 357sig if I can find a slide

Carried one of those for duty for 13 years. It is a fine pistol.

This is like asking me which is my favorite grandchild. Right now I have to say my SA 1911 TRP CC, right there with my SIG P220 .45 SAO Legion.

I did like shooting my Glock 32!

For me it depends on the trip to the range. Lately it has been the CZ P09C nocturne (obviously 9mm). As we know I just got the CZ shadow 2 OR. With that been said that might be high on the list. Otherwise I do like the XDm Elite in .40 and 10MM.

 

[powerboatr]

1911 45 ACP has always tripped my trigger as being favorite

 

[rcurtner]

My current favorite is my Sig P-220 Legion 45acp SAO plus really like my DW 1911 (LW) Vigil Commander 45acp.

 

[BruceMc]

1911 45 acp for most of my years. Now 1911 9mm is the reality.

 

[Belt Fed]

Do i even need to say it?

I forgot to explain it a bit more, as all of my Smith revolvers are a favorite. Each one is a compromise and there's no perfect handgun, no do everything guns. Obviously some overlap will be there, but there's a sweet spot, as it were for each one. I try to stay in the sweet spot with each one.

I'll say the model 13, 3 inch, round butt is by far my favorite carry gun.
