My favorite is usually the one I have in my hand--in this case two conversions with fake ivory carved grips. 1861 and1851 conversions in 38 special. The 61 is marked ASM but has no Italian proofs--I think the parts were assembled in the USA. The 51 conversion is a Cimarron Uberti. DSC_7252s.jpg
 
Tough question as I don’t get emotionally attached to revolvers very often. I used to, that said, I need to think about it...
 
After recently selling a pair or Ruger Blackhawks (.45 Colt/.45 ACP) and 3" Ruger GP100 (.357 Mag) I'm down to six Rugers and a 4" stainless Colt Python and they're all keepers. My favorite by far is the Ruger Super Redhawk "Alaskan" that I sent to Mr. Bowen last year who converted it into the perfect 4" .454 Casull. I carry this revolver every time I'm hiking or camping. I couldn't sell it for what I have into it but I could care less since I'm never going to sell it.

I don't have a huge "collection" per se...but I do have a definite favorite.

I picked up this 627 "Pro" in late 2016. I immediately had a local revolver smith tune it and polish the trigger face, the action on it is absolutely superb. My goal was to have a 38 special range toy and it is just that. It is wonderfully accurate and superb to shoot. I started reloading primarily so I could feed this girl all the wadcutters she could eat. Paper, steel...doesn't matter, this thing is a joy to shoot.
