Which of your hand guns fits your hand the best

For a revolver I would have to say my 3" 66-2 with Hogue Bantams. For an auto, either my 3913 or my 3914 . Both wear Hogue rubber grips.

S&W Model 41. Then Model 39. Third place goes to a Ruger Security Six with Hogue grips.
 
Mine would be my Model 581 cut down to a round butt with the old style S&W factory finger groove combat grips (what Kim Ahrends sells as S&W "retro" style). Feels like an extension of my hand rather than something in it.
 
Colt 2000, best of any gun I ever tried or had. My Makita drill is a close second. I'll put in the worst too, the Glock 20. In revolver grips, I like the Jerry Miculeks and the factory Ruger Redhawk grips, and I hate nframe target stocks, also the grips that came with the 3" Lew Horton 610. Terrible.

Very interesting... after 44 responses, the Browning Hi-Power got a nod from eight.

That's a surprise to me and wasn't what I was expecting when I started the thread. I know the Hi-Power is beautiful, a classic and a sentimental favorite.... but never thought that it would offer the 'best hand fit'.

I can't remember ever shooting one, but the responses have given me the 'itch' now. Thanks for the responses so far.

Another HP vote for an auto and my old Highway Patrolman feels pretty good too .

Govt Model 1911 with arched MSH. First time I ever picked one up it was an instant fit. Like and old sweater.

40 years later, I haven't found anything better.
 
After handling guns almost daily for 45 yrs, I find the ones I really find most comfortable are Smith magna RB and Colt D frame service style. I have medium size hands (but large feet and nose ;))
 
My Delta Elite fits like an extension of my hand. I have always liked the 1911 but after Ted Yost worked this one over with a flat mainspring housing, de-bumping and reshaping an Ed Brown memory grip safety (made the beavertail much smaller), undercutting the trigger guard for a higher grip it fits like an old glove. As much as I like my 610, this normally gets the nod for carry duty because it feels so good in my hand.

Any S&W revolver with Pachmayr gripper pros.
Any S&W revolver with factory SB magnas.
BHP, Beretta 84B, Taurus 99 and 101 autos.

I've grown accustomed to all the rest.
 
Without a doubt, my CZ 75BD. Now I notice no one said anything about a Glock, of course no one said 2 x 4 either !!! Shoo
P.S. I don't like Glocks....
