For a revolver, older Colt Python customed by Austin Behlert.
For a semi-auto, Kimber Pro Carry II.

I can't say I have a single favorite.
Ruger MKIII Hunter- Accurate and a lot of fun to shoot (Was more fun when I could get bulk .22 ammo!)
Ruger new Model Blackhawk Convertible in 45 ACP/45 Colt with Herrett's Shooting Star grips.
Browning HP-35 High Power 9MM. Shooting this pistol always puts a smile on my face and a tight group on the target.

Super Blackhawk
Ruger Super Blackhawk, 4 5/8" barrel in stainless steel, tied with my 4" Model 29 for the easiest packing gun I have ever owned. Easy to carry, handy and more available power than I will most likely ever need.

Somewhere around here is a Ruger MkIII Competition Target. I don't shoot it a lot, but I tend to smile a lot when I do.
I have a few non-standard Colts that I like, both revolver and semi-auto, but the one I like most varies with the passage of time. Until a couple of weeks ago I had a half-century old high-90s Cobra that filled that slot, but then I lucked into a semi-nice M1903 .32 ACP that feels pretty good in the hand. I already had a M1908 in .380, but I like it from a distance -- it's a GO model and too nice to shoot. I need a slightly rougher 1908 to fill that role. Some day.
On balance, almost any S&W edges the comparable gun from any other maker. I guess I'm a loyalist that way, even though I recognize that not all S&W products have been unburdened by strange engineering decisions. Last week I took delivery of a Model of 1913 .35 semiauto, a gun whose design leads me to wonder if LSD was actually discovered a half century before the commonly accepted date.

Colt Series 80 Mk IV Government Model 380 acp.
Its a 3/4 scale M1911, a real pleasure to shoot, and quite accurate for such a short barreled semi-auto
