My favorite none S&W? That would have to be my Series 70 Gold Cup.45 purchased new around 1974. Was shooting Bulls Eye and that was the reason I bought it. Got bored to death shooting that discipline and the more adventitious (younger) members started a PPC shoot. That morphed into a conglomerate of 5 clubs on a rotating biases. I shot both rev and "off duty" (2 1/2 and smaller barrels) with S&W so I started using the cup to shoot the auto PPC
. We then got hooked up doing Cooper type combat and I modified the cup for that. Hogged out the mag well, put on a longer slide release and as I shot full power loads put in a recoil buffer. Did real good in the matches and I carried that gun as a CCW for years when clothing and weather would allow.
I now carry smaller CCWs but if things get real nasty (pick a reason) the Cup will go back to being my primary carry.
I did have a coupe more runner ups but the Gold Cup is my favorite!
