Of the ones I own, I'd have to say my Stainless Colt XS Combat Commander:

I only own 2 handguns that could be remotely considered "big bore", those being my Glock 21 and S&W 681 in .357 magnum..
My favorite of the two changes constantly, so picking my "favorite" one is going to be nearly impossible.
A "big bore" that I'd like to add to my collection would be a .454 Casull or the new S&W in .50 cal... You wanna' loan me the money.?!

Ahhhh, this one is easy.
A beautiful blued 4" M24 with Ahrends coco bolo, Sparks leather, and various handloads for different jobs. A 3" is runner-up.

Glock 30 with an A-Grip
Springfield Armory M1911-A1 Mil-Spec
Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag 7-1/2"
Can't pick just one!

REDHAWK ADDICT
Kinda (for 'big bore) like my 41 5.5" best.
That said, I most prefer my 7.5" 357 version, because it's just so fun for shootin IPSC (that tube seems to take forever to clear the Sparks HSR....) and it doesn't get as hot during long field courses.

I like the fact that weshoot2 is also a Redhawk addict!
It's a toss up between my Super Redhawk .480 7 1/2" and my Redhawk .44 5 1/2".
Both are a ball at the local range - real head-turners, especially when I unload a cylinder full of .480...quickly...double-action...controlling the recoil...with a big smile on my face!
I always have someone coming up and asking what kind of beast I am shooting. Really enjoy the big bores.
I'm thinkin' that a SRH .454 is the next purchase!

My .44 Mag Redhawk would be my favorite big bore.

S&W 296 in .44 Special. Light yet powerful. Always with me.
1878 Colt.. good choice!
I always liked the Colt New Service, in 45 acp or 45 Colt it's impressive, funny thing is it's so heavy that it doesn't kick much, hardly at all compared to a 1911. Wish there was such a thing as a New Service in 44 mag.
I know you all will laugh.. but one of these days I'd like to get an Automag. I just think they are really neat weapons.

I don't own a lot of big bore handguns. I have a 4" Model 29, a 3" 629, a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt, and a Super Blackhawk.
I would have to say my faviorite is the 7 1/2" Super Blackhawk. It is kind of a pain to carry on the belt, although I did so for several years when traveling off the beaten path. But it is a very strong gun, and mine is very accurate. It is just one of those guns that is a real pleasure to shoot for me. I don't think you can really describe how some guns just seem to be the perfect thing for you.

Ruger SRH .454 Casull/.45 Long Colt
It's big, comfortable and very accurate. It's versatile too. I can shoot cheap .45 Colts, hot Colts and mild to wild Casulls. It's a good car gun, but too big to conceal.

I have to have multiple choices on this one!
For carry: Glock 36 - light, compact, powerful enough to get the job done.
For hunting and target work: Ruger Redhawk, 5½" barrel, stainless, in .44 Magnum - particularly with Garrett Hammerheads loaded. Those loads pack a kick and a half!!!
For pure downright fun: Ruger Old Army Vaquero, in stainless steel. 30 grains of black powder behind a .457 round lead ball. Sheer shooting pleasure!
