Lots of awesome posts and pics. Keep them coming, I'm trying to decide which ones to add to my list. LOL.
No. Not even a little. It was my dads. Still has the box and papers.Haven't you been tempted to shoot it? Beautiful, for sure.
Probably this beater 19-3 (no RR/WO sights, simple old-school all black), but sublime bluing, sweet trigger (in SA, almost unbelievable), still has bank-vault tight lock-up and oh so accurate.

In close second place (did I mention 4" K-frames are my thing?), a mint 15-3:

In honorable mention category, a modern revolver, my newish King Cobra is a great carry piece with a superb trigger, both DA and SA (gotta love the brass bead in the front sight blade):

Very hard to say. I think it would be my 30-1....
I have been reluctant to contribute to this thread because I can't post pictures here (and no one seems willing to tell me how to do it).
Way to be, chich.First, I recommend to resize the photo to something The High Road (and other people's computers) can handle easily. I try and make my photos no larger than 1000 pixels wide and no more than 200 kB in file size. Some people go a bit larger, but anything that's the original size from a modern digital camera or smart phone will be humongous and may not even upload to The High Road.
I have no recommendations on what free software to use for resizing photos, someone else ought to be able to help.
Second, type in some text into the reply box and hit the "enter" key a couple times to make space for your photo below your text. Then simply find the photo you want on your computer by clicking on what you want to upload by looking at the red arrows in the following 3 screenshots. I don't know where you will keep your photos on your computer, as it will differ from my example below.
Click on "post reply" once your photos are where you want them.

I kick my self for passing on a couple of those over the years. If I ever see another, I wont make that mistake again.My favorite for 2020 is my Charter Arms .22LR revolver that was acquired at the beginning of the pandemic.

Never get tired of seeing this little sapsucker.That is a tough one! My collection is modest still at this point but I’ve specifically only bought things I reeeeaaally wanted to have and that makes it hard to pick one favorite. The first issue Cobra? The Perfected top break? The Webley?
Ultimately I only have one gun that really hits all the high points to be the favorite. It has historical significance as an original WWII issued sidearm, significant utility as a personal self defense weapon in modern times, its extremely durable and reliable, and it’s even got above average accuracy and shootability.
I’m sure the forum is sick of seeing it by now but it’s got to be my Enfield No.2 Mk.1* post-import modified snub

..S&W should consider making an aluminum framed version of the 686. If they could get about 8 ounces off the 686 and still have it strong enough for the .357, then it would be a terrific carry gun with a 4 inch barrel and round butt grip.
MaxP - on those .500 bullets - are those monolithic copper solids? If so, how many grains? Reloads or factory?
