HK VP9 and SA 1911 Loaded. Lots more are close thirds.

Hands down my favorite two handguns are:

My S&W Model 15/18 Pair of revolvers,,,

.

And my CZ-75B/Kadet pair of semi-auto's,,,

I know the OP asked for two handguns,,,
But I consider these pairs to be one discrete entity.

My S&W revolvers seem like they were made for my hand,,,
They balance perfectly and seem to aim themselves.

My CZ pistols feel the same,,,
They are the one full size pistol that I grip well.

All of my other handguns are either,,,
Truly valued possessions,,,
Slick/fun range toys,,,
Or carry guns.

No doubt in my mind of this choice.

I love Smith and Wesson revolvers so my two favorite handguns are my 10 shot 617 with a 6" bbl and my 6" bbl 686+.

lockedcj7 · August 29, 2015, 10:18 PM

Favorite and "never sell" are two different things in my safe. I have some heirloom guns that are priceless due to their sentimental value. I will never sell them and they would serve adequately for SD if they were all I had.

One is an FN baby browning that my great uncle gave to his wife after some lowlife threatened her. (He was the sheriff at the time.) The other is a heavily engraved .44 spl that my grandfather carried as a deputy. (Different side of the family, different state.)

My favorite gun that I've ever bought is a WWII Remington Rand. Somehow it feels lighter and slimmer in my hand than modern .45s and it's every bit as accurate as my Ruger SR. The other favorite is my Ruger Single Six convertible. My dad bought it for me when I was in high school and it's the gun I've owned longer than any other.

My BHP has been with me longer than my wife of 30 years. .45 New Vacquero with cowboy loads is my most fun to shoot.

Very nice, makes me want to spend more money.

Keep them coming.
( Come on, I am working over night shift and its slow. need some thing to look at)

CajunBass · August 30, 2015, 07:38 AM

I don't suppose I've got any "favorites" and the two I'll say I'll never sell, are guns I don't particularly care for myself and never use.

One is a Ruger Single-Six that is actually my wife's first gun. She says she'll never sell it, so I guess it will never get sold. Maybe that one doesn't count.

The other is a Sears-Roebuck 12 ga. shotgun that belonged to my father. The gun didn't mean much to him, it was just a turkey shoot gun, and I don't ever recall seeing it in his hands, so I don't have any particular memories of it. When he died my mother said, "You might as well have this."

I've also got a Thompson/Center "Seneca" muzzle-loader, in .36 Caliber that actually belongs to a woman I used to work with. About twenty-five or so years ago, she loaned it to me. I tried to give it back to her a couple of times, but she told me "Just keep it. I'll let you know when I want it back." I've lost track of her since I retired, and so did she. No idea where she is these days. I suppose she doesn't want it back, but I guess I'll keep it just in case.

But I guess we all like pictures. So, of the ones that are "mine" and that I like best, I'll say.

Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 from 1970. Haven't had this one long, but have owned another one years ago. In spite of the aftermarket grips, I don't believe it had ever been fired when I got it. It now wears a set of period Magna stocks, and a BK grip adapter.

And I just got this one Friday. Still haven't fired it, and again, I don't think anyone has before me. Like the other one, it had the original box and paperwork with it. I added the BK grip adapter.

Model 13-3 from 1987.

SARuger · August 30, 2015, 07:45 AM

Security Six 4" and my ever reliable EDC, the .38 LCR

Skeets · August 30, 2015, 12:11 PM

Just to stay simple:S&W19-2 and my Glock19 Gen2.For me,they ARE perfect.

michael t · August 30, 2015, 01:03 PM

All my old Colt 1911's and all my older pin barrel S&W's

lifesizepotato · August 30, 2015, 06:28 PM

Probably the Pardini GT9 and Sig X6 Supermatch with weight. At least, I shoot them the best.

Nodak1858 · September 1, 2015, 10:25 AM

Well by favorite you mean always seem to be in the range bag on every trip. I'll say my 30 carbine Blackhawk and my 1917 Nagant revolver. I love the carbine, flat shooting and low recoil. And I'm not sure on the Nagant, I just like it.

Go ahead and laugh, but my two favorites are these in their "different" configurations:

rock185 · September 1, 2015, 07:08 PM

I came up with one of my top two. Figuring out #2 might take awhile;-)

Wishoot · September 1, 2015, 07:21 PM

A 1982 Browning Hi-Power
A 2 3/4" blued Security Six

However, I enjoy shooting all of my guns (except my LCP and M&P9 which are both pissin me off right now).

Cheapshooter · September 2, 2015, 12:11 AM

The most recent two I bought........Until there are another two most recent!

Now I can't afford to replace the M27-2 I had to sell off years ago, but your 27 is the definition of "Fine"!

As far as my own collection, whatever is in the range bag when I go shoot is my favorite!

BWM · September 2, 2015, 10:32 AM

My Smith & Wesson 44 41 Dan Wesson 375. The 375 & 44 are long range shooters they have 10 In barrels.

carlos64030 · September 5, 2015, 09:56 AM

I have 5 1911s:

But my 2 favorites are, my Para Ordnance P14-45 Limited:

And my Para Ordnance Nite Hawg:
https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...91091651_o.jpg

These are the 2 that I carry EVERY single day.

Mike38 · September 5, 2015, 01:18 PM

I'd say my two favorite are a Beretta 92FS and Colt M1911A1.

indie_rocker · September 5, 2015, 02:14 PM

The two that I carry the most are listed below, but I always have a hard time deciding what I bring with me to the range in addition to:

1) S&W SD9VE
2) Sig 290RS

Pond, James Pond · September 5, 2015, 03:01 PM

Well I only have 3... one is defo my Redhawk, but I can't honestly decide between the other two... OP response fail...

SocialAnarchist · September 5, 2015, 03:37 PM

If we are talking favorite then it is easy my Springfield Loaded 1911 .45acp and my .45acp XDs.

If we are talking what I would never sell then it is my Dad's S&W Model 10 .38revolver and the above Springfield 1911.
