My favorite handguns are......

I only have one 1911. This Colt Government Model Series 80.
Its never been shot and I'm not so sure I ever will.
I've looked at and held a lot of 1911s and other .45 autos over the last year. I might pick up another one but I'm not too sure just yet.
Of my ( too many) S&W revolvers; my favorite ( not-for-sale safe queen) is this "Model of 1953", ca. 1955, early Chiefs Special with genuine India Sambar Stag grips.
I can see why its a safe queen. I have 2, at least one for sure.
This one for sure and my Colt 1911A1 will most likely remain unfired for as long as I own it.
I have several 10mm's, that rank high in the stable. My S&W 4" bbl. 610, a Kimber Target II. Along with an El Capitan version of the P-35 Browning. My little Ruger SP-101 is a perennial favorite in 9mm.
Everyone of those are nice looking.
Your pictures are proof that I need to step up my gun photography.

I still have only one of my favorites, the dashless 640 I've carried for years. My all-time favorite was a blue four-inch 15-3 bought unfired from an estate consignment. My son has it now. Sweetest trigger I ever shot on any gun.
My other favorites included a four-inch 10-5, a 469, an immaculate pre-B CZ-75, and <blush> a Glock 19.

HAVEN'T HAD THE PLEASURE OF MANY...
I sure would like an N frame in a 45 caliber. The only N frame I've shot was a 10mm & that felt like a bit of a reach for the trigger, with a size lg to xl glove size ALL of my former patients that got to know my fingers intimately said the same thing, "man you have fingers like tree trunks"!
Why the charge nurse always assigned the person with the biggest hands for those jobs is pure sadism. Anyhoo a mdl 617-6, mdl 10-6, 640ND, 681ND all in a pretty short time frame, beginners luck??? I feel pretty squared away with them & kinda prefer fixed sights, so just 1 more, until I get it anyway.

When it comes to revolvers..... just call me Casanova. 
Thanks - wasn't sure it they were considered snub nose or not. Don't ask me why.

My two S&W 500 mags, love the power but why they're the favorites is because I shoot better with them than any other revolver I've ever had and I've had a number. Don
