What is your Favorite non-S&W Handgun

You're right. A Ruger Redhawk with a Super Redhawk 454 cylinder, Bowan rear sight, and midnight blue Cerakote.
I'm going to join the other 1911 folks here with my Mike Curtis built pre 70 series. It started life with me as a bullseye gun in the early 90's and when I retired from bullseye it was put back into a more convenient form. It is still a sewing machine 1911 that likes to make one hole. 50 ft. 2 hand hold, I shake too much for one.

My favorite non-S&W handgun is my tungsten gray Walther PPQ.
What can I say? It fits my hand well, looks good, and is a fine shooter.

I'm not a collector. I buy my guns for pragmatic reasons. Either I enjoy shooting them, and/or they serve some practical purpose. My favorite non-S&W is my primary home defense handgun, my FN FNX-45 Tactical. It is very accurate, relentlessly reliable, fun to shoot, and best of all, it carries 16 rounds of .45 acp.

Being a revolver guy , my favorite " non smith " is my OM Colt Trooper , 4" barrel in 357 magnum , followed closely by my Colt Police Positive Special , 4" barrel chambered in 38 special . I just got a Ruger Security Six , stainless , 4" barrel that came from an estate sale , the owner died , for $395 . Original grips that look brand new . Be interesting to see how it compares to my love for my Colts . Regards Paul
I only own 2 non-S&Ws right now. This Walther PSS Mod2 is easily my favorite. Very similar in size and feel to the Shield, it conceals very nicely. I also shoot it surprisingly well.
Count me as another fan of the 1911. While the first gun I shot was my late dad's S&W .38spl I learned to shoot on a 1911, taught by his good friend a mere 53 years ago.
I've owned many mid to high end over the years and it's my absolute favorite non-S&W handgun.

I really like this Colt Officers Model .32 revolver for several reasons. It was obviously set up for target shooting by someone who knew what they were doing-Roper front sight and (probable) rear sight, Sanderson grips and a target hammer. It shoots like a dream and my friends enjoy shooting it, even the big bore aficionado. I'm typically a plinker, not a target shooter but I do like to hit what I'm aiming at and I usually can with this fine old revolver.
The Heiser shoulder holster is maker etched "OM .32" on the back so they go together after arriving separately.

My trusty old BHP I carried for over 40 years, bought new in 1968, now retired. I also like my old Ruger Mark 1 and my recently acquired used Single six which is the last gun my wife bought for me before she recently passed. It will be treasured as my #1 forever.

Tough choice but probably this Colt SAA. Not really a practical pistol but it takes me to a nostalgic, happy place when I handle it. 
It has a nice crisp and smooth SAA action. And, yes, I do shoot it occasionally.

GLOCKS : any model, any caliber. Simple manual of arms and depenable.
I lean toward the ones that the caliber starts with a "4".
