I have adopted this S series 28 treated it with TLC and it has fast become my favorite...I have some in better shape, some in cooler cals, but this big old cops gun has gotten under my skin. I have refinished it and put some of the dreaded rubber grips on it...it camped with me all summer hunted with me all fall and its been the only standard on my trips to the range...I always take several guns with me, but the 28 is with me every time I go.
Here is recent pic...the after TLC pic

it's tough to pick just one, but if I had to it would be this little M&P .38 Special. I stumbled onto it a couple of months ago in a local dive and I've just fallen in love with it. Everything about it just says "classic" to me. It's not in perfect condition, but I just love it.
My 1972 made Memphis Police Department Model 66 no dash
By far the best trigger and most accurate of a collection of 4 semi autos and 3 revolvers.
And yes I have the original wood SW grips.

This isn't my favorite but it is one of the better looking revolvers in my modest "collection".

I think a couple statements can sum up both:
Smith and Wesson wheelguns have beautiful lines and perfect proportions that may be compared in many ways to a beautiful woman.
Since the 1911 design is the best know of the bottom feeders, I think Colonel Robert J. Coates, USMC said it best: "The 1911 was the design given by God to us through John M. Browning that represents the epitome of what a killing tool needs to be. It was true in 1911
and is true now."
This is why we have such a great choice. Pistols or revolvers - you can't make the wrong decision.
Sorry, no (1) pics. I love them all equally.

Probably this one. 10-5, 5". I have at least fired this one.
But this one is about the same. I just haven't fired it. 10-7, 4".

No, It's not just you. There's a lot of that going around here.
This orphan 19-3 I bought out of the armory is still my favorite. It goes to every range day (for me to shoot, the kids demand my .44 1858 Remington copy come along). Shown here in altamont "Ivory." It now wears the 'Executioner' Elk grips shown in my avitar.

I hope these are ok even though they are post 1980 guns.
Im pretty fond of these two. If I had to pick just one it would be the 627, there is just something about an 8 shot unfluted 357 mag.

I have two really nice revolvers that share the load for the most part.
My 27-2 which has the nicest action of any revolver I have ever owned.
And my mud and grime gun when I don't care about the looks but functions is this Model 57

Despite my long held opinion that the 5" barrel is the best balance for the N-frame Smiths, the closest I can come to a favorite are two of mine that happen to be 4" examples.
First, by age would be this 4th Model 44 HE Target. It's was poorly cut down by a former owner and cleaned up by my gunsmith.
Second, but really tied for first, is this custom 45 ACP Mountain Gun, built from a M25-2 and a M1950 tapered barrel.
These two represent my constant dilemma in picking a favorite cartridge between the 44 Special and the moon clipped 45 ACP.

I can't pick just one favorite, so for now I'll post this one
Forced to pick just one, it will be the only gun my dad ever purchased for himself and then passed on to me. Model 36 of 1967 vintage. First handgun I ever fired. Dad and I were both darn good with this little J frame too.
Pick one!!!!! Is u Crazy????
There is no way to pick just one.......not for my kids anyway.......

That's a beauty!
I'm usually a blued guy, but if I ever ran across one of those 627's I would buy it in a heartbeat. Until that time, probably my nicest one is my 27-2:

I can't narrow it down to one, but as far as a cool factor, this was owned by a General in the USAF. It was sold to my friend (who coincidentally owns a gun shop) by his widow, and one phone call later it was on the way to its new home.
