I can't do a survey, too many opinions I'm sure. Fire away!

1. Remington 1875:

I don't have a picture of an 1875 but it is better looking than its predecessor and that one is pretty nice.

2. Mauser HSc:

3. SIG 232:

You'll have to look that one up but it's just about as racy as the HSc.

4. COLT SAA:

Okay, this is a Charles Daly replica but it's as close as I can get:

5. S&W HEs generally:

Way too many pretty S&Ws!

Honorable Mention:

Walther PPK/S:

* Ruger Super Blackhawk
* S&W Hand Ejector (pick any one)
* P08 Luger
* S&W Model 41
* Colt SAA

Not in any particular order. I can think of a few more, but that would make the list longer than 5.
 
SIG 232 for sure…

Beretta automatics of the Cheetah era

Steyr-Mannlicher 1905

S&W 65LS
 
1) C-96 Broomhandle Mauser

2) Colt Walker

3) S&W No 3 2nd model Russian

4) Walther PP & PPk

5) S&W 6" M&P (model 10)

HM1) Colt New Service

HM2) Sig 220 (Iraqi pimped model)

You can thank me later!

I am going to put up five pistols in unmodified condition in no special order

Sexiest Pistol ever produced by the Factory

I’m down with Arjay’s list. He did the work for me. Suprised about the early Ruger 22s.
 
The most beautiful handgun in the world goes to the Rohm I traded 6 muskrat pelts for. As a kid it carried me through thick and thin on the trap line, serving as critter dispatcher and hammer. The plastic grips remaining intact is testament to the...well, enough already...its a piece of junk but the memories are priceless. Honorable mention goes to the T Series BHP and the Mauser 1910.

Too many guns, not enough time.
I am a sucker for S&W K-Frames, N-Frames, J-Frames, with long barrels, short barrels, and in between barrels. These are just a few that come to mind with a 1911 mixed in.


Couple of Combat Masterpiece’s in .38 and .22 caliber.
Couple of Masterpiece’s, a K38 and a K22.
A long barrel N-Frame Model 27-2 in .357 Magnum.
Oops, can’t get the Colt 1911 picture loaded, I’ve reached my limit. The 1911 would have been 6 anyway.
