Adam,
Like most of these types of questions, this one causes me to get into a mental delema, a revolver, a single shot, auto, a big bore, a small bore, Hunting, target, silhouette, IPSC, Pins and on and on. You see, there simply can not be A favorite, it must for me, be a favorite by type and intended purpose or use. Example, the TC Contender is just a great single shot silhouette gun but for hunting I like the Merrill or XL much better because the Merrill is quiet, without the internal safety drop. Neither gun is worth a flip in IPSC or for Pins where I prefer the 1911 longslide in 45ACP.
Best,
Ed

Smile Favorite handgun!

There are many, but I go with my first love, the S&W K-22, now the Model 17.
I am still an old fashioned guy and shoot revolvers that are six shooters. The current Model 17 hasn't been shot much, but they all had, or have, 6 inch barrels. Deadly accurate, totally dependable ,and just plain wonderful. Had the first one in 1954 and shot a carton a week; learned how to hit everything I shot at. By 1960 it was pretty well worn. Got the next one. And so on.

My Favorites

Of the guns that I own, I'd have to pick my m1911 clone in .45 ACP. My all time favorite though, and one I've always longed to have, is the Browning High Power in 9mm Luger. I think it is the prettiest handgun of any type ever made.
