Gotta be the 4506. I had to look for a bit to find one that had everything I wanted; hooked trigger guard, large grip and Novak sights. It just screams 'Hey, it's the 80's!' and is built like a battleship....seriously, holding this thing is like holding the Hammer of Thor. The eyes of all the 20 and 30-somethings at work often bug out when I bring it to the range at qual time, they ask me things like "Why does it only hold 8 rounds?", "Why isn't there a rail?", "Are there lights or lasers available for it?" or "Why does it weight the same as a new born hippo?"

I don't bother explaining that it's enough that it's as tough as a Klingon MMA fighter and it was the weapon of choice of Sonny Crockett (Season 5 only, admittedly). I just put some hot 185 gr. +P ammo in it say "Fire away." The miniscule recoil convinces them quickly....no modern polymer 'wonder-clicker' eats up the blast of hot .45 ACP JHP's like the ol' USS Forty Five Oh Six....
