Mine is also my most recent acquisition; a SIG P210 Target.
It's not as iconic looking as my Colt Python or Colt 1911 Competition 38 Super, but it gets used more because it's much more satisfying to shoot.

I'd have to say my 2.5" Python. This one gets shot quite a bit for a reason - the balance and trigger are just spectacular. While I have the service stocks for it, the larger target stocks feel better in my hands.

And it keeps getting better as it was barely shot by the original owner. When me and the boys go shooting, this is the one that everyone wants to shoot.

I don't have many handguns that aren't S&W. I would have to say it would be my Ruger SBH which is older than my 1st new S&W which was a K22 in 1964. In fact was my 1st purchase of a brand new CF handgun. Even though my dad had to sign for it. Had the full meal deal in Ruger SAs before I saw the light. :rolleyes::eek:

I was torn between several brands, but will go with Ruger, their single action big bores in particular. Own about a half dozen of them, and have taken a lot of game with them. Two of my most used are pictured, along with my first Ruger SA - A Single Six Convertible.

This is like picking your favorite child, but the BHP is a particular favorite of mine, including the one I carry every day. As a work of art, this one is a favorite. It brings me joy for reasons I cannot completely articulate. Edited to add: This is not the one I carry every day.

I like the engraving, do you know who did the work?

22hipower,

I asked here on the forum when I purchased this off of the big auction site as the seller had no clue. The seller seemed more interested in flipping it than researching it and there are no initials or signature on it. The wisdom at the time was inconclusive. The pattern certainly seems in a classic style, but I would not dare to claim any knowledge.

If anyone sees it in this thread and has any ideas, I would be grateful.
