Browning HiPower, hands down.

Right now? This Canick TP9SF. Holy crap can I shoot this thing! 

All time? .44 mag Vaquero.

People have been reluctant to try the Canik line for quite a while, but most are like you. A few rounds and are not only impressed, but in love with them.

Awesome pistols!! Jmo

Of my current inventory, I'd have to go with the 3" round butt Model 13 S&W. Not pretty to look at but an absolute pleasure to shoot.

I like the looks of that little Sig beside your favorite.

Yeah, that other one is a Sig "Carry" 1911, which is size equivalent to the Colt Commander.  I like it too.

[JustEd]

My heart is with a good 1911, but practicality says a Glock 19

Mine has many thousands of rounds through it and functions beautifully.  If shtf, it would be the handgun on my mind first.

My favorite handgun is my Dan Wesson PM9.  I feel more comfortable shooting this gun than any other that I own.  Fits my hands perfectly.

Yes. I have an older RCS(?) RSC. Can't remember the designation of the model. It's quite a good shooter.

After I shoot my new Glock 45, I've got a feeling that it may replace one of my bedside guns, lol.  It feels better in my hand than the Shield I use for that purpose now.  The Shield has a CT Laser/flashlight on it.  I think I may end up selling or trading the extra Performance Center Shield I have, the one without the laser/flashlight.  Coincidence on the Shield I'm keeping, the first 3 digits of the serial number are my initials, in the correct order.   Talk about fate...

I know some folks on the list don’t care for the “distressed” look on a new firearm but I think it looks sweet. I just have an ATI GI model but it shoots nice and on target.  

 

One day I hope to get a WWII 1911.  Nothing fancy and perfect.  Something I can shoot and not worry about it’s “vintage”.  

 

Where did you get your ATI?

[Snaveba]

I picked it up off of Gunbroker back in late 2019. 

[A.J. Holst]

My new EDC is a Glock 45, however, the  favorite is my CZ 75B Omega with a little CGW love...

[Grunt67]

It works.

[gregintenn]

Favorite handgun? Whichever one is on me when I need one.

I don’t think you have enough. 

[Garufa]

Smith & Wesson 39-2.  It’s just a joy to shoot and look at.

[Sleep profit]

Love my CZ shadow 2  also love my smith 686 I could go on and on

Your probably right.

[Beltfed]

My choice is my MP5K spray and pray.  30 rounds in under 2 seconds.   Believe me, that will get their attention.

[maroonandwhite]

I’m really thinking my 19X is going to take this title. It’s absolutely possible that I just really dig it because it’s the latest gun but I shoot it very well and it feels amazing in the hand. Balances well and reloads don’t require a compromised grip.

I'll see your HiPower and raise you a GP Competition..jpg

I'm at a loss to explain a lack of pics of MY GP Comp, but here's a representation. I'll fix that "no pic of mine" thing soon, it's beautiful and seriously it shoots like a magic bullet wand...

The most natural pointer I've ever shot.

Wow. That thing is gorgeous.

This thread has made me realize how boring my collection is.  I guess I'd have to pick my Glock 19 as boring as it is. It's one of the first handguns I purchased and has kept my wife and I safe for over 10 years now. I've carried it in at least 18 states too. 

Fun fact, I actually purchased this Glock while walking around a gun show with @Garufa and @Oh Shoot. I believe it was at the Expo Center in early 2010.

This ^^^^

That's like asking to pick you favorite child. Each has it's good and it's bad.

Missing is the number one reason for reloads, regardless of capacity.

That's why I said it depended on the situation. I like all of them.  I even carry my Walther PPK from time to time, just so it doesn't feel unloved!
