What's your favorite handgun?

I didn't want to post until I received it, but I got this Taurus 92 (the same gun as the Beretta 92) for $429. I was trying to beat the Colorado law banning semi autos. it came with two 17 round mags which I had to have pinned to 15 rounds. I used a seller called Locked and Loaded.

1955 Rueger single six .22 mag.
 
The wife shoots a Taurus 357 wheel gun dbl action. She loves it. I have a CZ75B it is accurate and smooth. My next purchase will be a Henry wheel gun 9mm then a Henry homesteader in the same cartridge
 
My next addition will be SW 5.7 w/22rd Mag
What I'd love to own but can't quite justify would be a SS DE .429.
 
Colt SAA, 38 WCF, 5 1/2 in barrel. Oh so sweet! Not mine but similar. We used to shoot Cowboy action with real Colts, Winchesters, and a Parker double barrel.

Add a Taurus PT 92 AFS-D Stainless 9mm. So pretty! A little over $400 at Locked and Loaded. Back when handguns had some character. I had to have the magazine reduced to 15 rounds per Colorado law. I'd like a stainless .357 4-7" revolver. Not too expensive but not crap either. Suggestions with vendors if you know of a good deal.

These Rugers are hard to beat for $, quality and toughness. Not sure what the current model goes for.

The Taurus 357 is probably a little cheaper and they seem to be pretty good guns.
 
My favorite cc is my kahr arms pm9. Mine is all stainless which helps absorb the kick. Fits perfect in a pants or coat pocket. 8+1 with extended.

Have a few, but my Glock 19's are my favorites mainly due to my being the most accurate with them. Not great for concealed carry, others cover that.
 
Glock 17 is my favorite
Glock 42 for a nice little pocket pistol

I have a Baretta Neos 22 with an 8in bull barrel for cheap target shooting fun
 
I was trying to find the balance point on that PT 92. With a full mag it's on the trigger guard just below the resting point of the trigger. With an empty mag it feels front heavy.
 
I usually take guidance from prominent figures in my selection of products. In this case, this is one I like.

It's comfortable, easy to load, inexpensive, and quite accurate. And that shade of Aqua... it's irresistible.
 
Way too hard to pick only one. I enjoy shooting a variety. I was shooting my Phoenix Fusion 9mm, yesterday.

This is what I carry. HK USPc-40. Magna-Ported, match trigger, spur hammer, and big dot sight.

I have one of these.
And have not fired it since I bought my Glock17

As I got older my hands no longer fit around the grips as well as I used to

I have probably 15 handguns or so, never really counted. If I had to carry for protection from two legged creatures I would probably carry my Charter Arms Bulldog in 44 Special. It only holds five rounds but it would only take one, and it’s the size of a child’s toy so it fits in my pocket. If not that, my Para Ordnance wide body 45. Holds 15 real bullets but is pretty heavy and large. But for the stuff I really need protection from it’s a Remington 870. Folding police stock, twenty inch barrel. First is a slug because the first shot is usually the furthest, followed by 00 buck because all of the rest of the shots are usually closer and more urgent to not miss.
My coolest is an ex Israeli IDF Berretta 22. They were sold off on the surplus market decades ago. I’ve had a few over the years.They were used as back up weapons, as well as by air Marshall’s so that they could shoot inside of an airplane. We’ve put several bricks of ammo through that thing.
