Favorite non-S&W

[S&W Fan]

For me it'd have to be a Les Baer 1911. This one is my latest-a factory hard chrome finish UTC. Just changed out the standard 3 dot night sights to a Novak night with large white circle on the front and a 10-8 rear. It originally came with the thin grips, I also swapped to the standard thickness Baer grips.

This gun just locks right in to my hand, very accurate and 100% reliable. Over the past 39 years I've owned Colt 1911s, some stock and others that were customized by both Novak and Wilson. Great guns but there's just something about Baer's pistols that I prefer.

Very nice! Baer has a great reputation, but I've never held one let alone owned one. I'm limited to buying mostly used/abused Colts and a few Springfields.

Colt Custom Shop Combat Commander from early 90s.
Wish I had the 9mm version to match

Sig P220. I'd prefer a P210 but the price is too high.

Premier II

My Les Baer is a Premier II. I've had this one for about 13 or 14 years, not really sure. I need to go dig out the box one of these days and find the paper work I guess.

My favorite is still my CZ 75 Compact Pro-Tek. It carries well and I'm most accurate with it. If I ever have to take a trip to hell and back, I'm taking this bad boy.

 

[chief38]

Colt Gold Cup Series 70 National Match (circa 1974).

The most accurate, best shooting and my favorite Range and Competition Semi Auto. Tens of thousands of hand loads and still perking along without a hitch!

 

[BAM-BAM]

My Beretta 92 Compact Type M....... single stack 8+1 feels great in the hand with Farrar grips........and Compacts and Centurions

Soft spots for the Browning HPs and Sig P series...... 220 and 245.

Ruger Redhawk 44 mag, 7 inch barrel, blued, Hogue Bantam grips.

Favorite non S&W

I would have to say my favorite non-S&W would be this pristine 1977 "C" series Hi Power

 

[petepeterson]

My general vote would go to the Hi-Power.

My current favorite is a 9mm Colt Competition...

 

[Ray1970]

Tough to call any one particular firearm my favorite. I am quite fond of my Mk25.

 

[824tsv]

Colt 9mm Competition Model

Second vote for the 9mm Colt Competition Model. Fantastic shooter!!

 

[crazyphil]

No contest. My 1911 Colt Gold Cup. Shown with Dave Keith's Brill style
holster, Haugen belt, and Solingen blade.

 

[GT_80]

are you talking just handguns or rifles too?

 

[AzShooter]

Ruger Mark III Hunter.

 

[KSDeputy]

Walther PPK, & TPH.

Oh man, perfection is thy name.

 

[sheepdawg]

I have always enjoyed shooting this CZ82.

 

[spad124]

For revolvers, my 4.2" stainless GP100
For pistols, CZ75BD
Rifles are a bit difficult since S&W only makes MSRs and I'm not really into MSRs. But my favorite sporting/utility rifle is a Marlin 336.
