I don't think I'd call the GP100 a "classic" in any sense. It's been around a long time, but I tend to reserve the term "Classic" to carry a lot more than age, a certain je ne sais quoi.
S&W 60, Walther PPK/s, and Browning Buckmark would make my list. Good to see the S&W 29/629 on your list. A Colt SAA probably needs to be in there somewhere if you're looking for "classics." A S&W 686 and/or 627 make my list also, and probably a Walther P-38.
I agree with you - a Glock 9mm is a Classic piece, whether guys like it or not. Zero sex appeal, and 1/3 to 1/2 as old as many other models out there, but in terms of those infinitely variable qualities which make a Classic qualify as such, the Glock 17 qualifies.
