My favorite hand gun is this .45 cal. of 1950/pre 26. Everyone's probably tired of seeing this picture.

NOT ME! Bob
Downsize? Don't, my friend. Just DON'T. Eventually you'll likely regret it. If circumstances mandate downsizing, then go for the honorable priority. Otherwise, keep whatcha got.
In my case, the last one to go would be Mom's Remington Model 34. It's the 22 I learned to shoot with. Somewhere around here there's a photo of me trying to shoot it with the butt poking out under my armpit. I must have been six years old. It's not my favorite shooter, but that Model 34 means more to me than anything. Mom had it when she was a kid on the farm in Montana. That's when it (and she) poked a hole in the roof of Uncle Milo's car.
I hasten to add: you ARE a wealthy man, Sixgun Strumpet! Headache and all, your words make it clear.

Certainly not rare, unique, or anything special; but the one I most enjoy shooting is this 1966 Model 10.
How can a "favorite" be selected unless you only have 1 gun?
Like my title says.........I just cannot select a favorite unless it is range day, and even then I tote numerous hand and long guns depending on weather.
My meager collection from buying, selling, trading for 50 + years has narrowed mostly to Smith wheel guns (my "favorite" hand guns), but I still love to take out the Ithaca 1943 1911A1, the BHP, the 39-2 for exercise, occasionally the Garand and even the scatterguns.
There is no hunting, or competitive shooting any more in my regime, however paper, steel, gongs, spinners are still family fun time and hopefully will remain in my schedule for a long time in the future.
That lone Glock 21 Gen 4 is only necessary so I can go head-to-head with youngest daughter (a NC LEO) when she is home and brings her duty weapon. Otherwise it doesn't get much exercise, so I could reverse the title and say, the Glock would be my "least favorite" if I had to start choosing
Many thanks to all above posters............what a terrific bunch of beauties......no way I can pick only 1 favorite, but kudos to you that can!
Happy Holidays to all from Virginia.

1954, my birth year.
There are days I think I need one of these 4" M28s from '54.

My absolute favorite gun to shoot and has been for 29 years is my M41 5 1/2" bull bbl. It's like shooting a laser pointer.
I'm thinking it's because it so closely mimics the 1911 (my second fav), in grip angle, bbl length and balance. It is also way more accurate than the SM ACE.
Just a fun gun to shoot and is always included in any range trip, or informal shooting at a friends backyard range. Certainly a "no excuses" pistol.

I only have guns that Spark Joy in me so I will never pick just one . The ones I value the highest though are all family guns , my paps 1955 Blackhawk , My dads Winchester 1885 38-55 High Wall and BLR 81 .358 Winchester , the two target pistols my paps brother built for him , the six shot 45-70 revolver pap was building for me when he was blinded and was never able to finish , the kid sized Tennessee .40 cal caplock rifle uncle Royland built my dad for christmas in 1947 , and last but not least the small brass and iron cannon that paps dad was given as a birthday gift in 1886 .
I know that last one is not an actual gun by legal definition but it fires 18 gr of FFG and a .375 ball or shot and easily kills GI Joes and Barbie dolls . It was made after the War from scrap iron and brass salvaged from a foundry that produced weapons for the South . Pap took it apart and had a sand cast mold made for all the parts and I have three of the ones he made from the mold that have brass barrels but aluminum wheels and carriage .
One year for Christmas I got ship models from everybody in the family ,got 11 ships built and took them and the cannons to the pond and launched the lot . I got on one side and my cousin on the other , we proceeded to bombard the ships with .375 balls until one of the balls skipped by my ear and I said let's get motorcycle helmets and use shot instead . It was the 60's !
Ain't enough money in the world to buy one from that lot .
Happy New Year to all !
