mine is my vaquero sheriff 45colt to me the balance and way it points is perfect . i also love that becuase its on the older blackhawk sized frame i can use normal or ruger only loads its just a great all around gun in my opinion . my flat top 45 colt and s&w mountain gun are close seconds . so whats yours?
 
Mine is a Talo Ruger New Vaquero in .45 ACP. It's a stainless birdshead model with a 3.75" barrel. It balances great, carries very well, and is my ever present EDC. A 1911 magazine makes a fine speedloader too. :)

5.5" Bisley SBH SS....it just loves a 240gr. SWC at about 950-1000fps. Balance and point-ability superb
 
Whichever one is in my holster at the time. Could be one of the Blackhawks, GP100, one of the Taurus revolvers.

Never ask a father to pick between his kids. Ain't no way I'm gonna even reply as I enjoy all of mine,,, and I do have "a few."
 
4 5/8" Blackhawk. That's as close as I can narrow it down. Have a new 5 1/2" Bisley but I just can't get attached to it for some reason.
 
.45 Flattop Convertible ... Shoot mostly .45 Colt in it.

For Ruger:
SA... a toss up between the old model Blackhawk 4 5/8's and the old model Bearcats/Super Bearcats.
DA... Redhawk 5 1/2.

For other brands:
SA... Herters 401 Power Mag
DA... S&W Model 29's, 19's, and 22/32, 34 & 63 Kit guns.
 
For DA it is a tossup between my Colt Python and S&W 625. Although if I had to go into the boonies with a DA I would take my Ruger GP100 with hot 357 handloads.

For SA it would be a tie between my now old 1976 357 Blackhawk because we have been through a lot together.






....and my much more recent Bisley in 45LC/.45ACP. From hot 45 LC to .45ACP plinkers I am amazed how well it shoots.

 
I have a bunch of em but my favorite model is the Vaquaro. I prefer short barrels but shoot longer barrels best. That said I guess my most favorite are my 5 1/2" .45 colt new Vaquaros in ss. JUST SWEET !!
 
Mine are my pair of Bisley New Model Vaqueros the I use for Cowboy Action Shooting. Of the four SA revolvers I own these are the best for me.
 
Nice revolvers guys!

I honestly couldn't choose my favorite....

Well, normally I'd be the same... But there are a few that rise to the top. I had a complete trigger job done on the .45 Colt flattop and now after shooting it for over a year, the other guns just 'pale' in comparison. It also is very accurate. Wish I had a ransom rest to find out just how accurate. It basically 'ruined' me when going back to shoot the 'stock' guns ("I've been putting up with this all these years?") Either I have the trigger job done on them all ... or they just won't get shot as much whether I like them or not.... Simple as that. Just had one of my .44Spec flattops done yesterday. Now if 'feels' the same as my .45 Colt flattop. Crisp, ~24oz pull... Much better. Money well spent. It will be finding it's way out to the range more often now too.
 
from a purely practical standpoint, I'm gonna break the mold ... I've had many over the years (none extremely "valuable), and now down to a few. My favorite is the one that I consider my "working gun" that I carry at least 6 out of 7 days a week.... a plain old 3" da/sa SP101.

It all depends on where you put your assessment of value in the favorites column.
 
My favorite is actually a 1851 Navy that my wife gave me for Valentine's day a few years ago. I'm asking for a 1858 Remington or 1860 Army for Christmas this year. That '51 just balances and feels better than anything else I've ever had.

If we're talking cartridge, then I'll have to go with my 357 Blackhawk, 4-5/8 barrel. However, I've got a 45 Blackhawk that I'm going to get the barrel cut off on, and a New Vaquero that I haven't gotten a chance to shoot yet. So I guess this all could change...
 
I sold my all time favorite a GP-100 in .357 mag. Now it is my SP-101 same caliber. I also like my NM Blackhawk in .357, and my Redhawk in .44 mag well you get the idea. What Contender said!
