Well I'll be... My revolver that is my current favorite is the number 1 result when you do an image search for "Altamont Altai". It makes me proud to know that it is looked at often enough to pop up. Apparently I'm not the only one who likes it.

Do you view on a cell phone? If so turn your phone horizontal, rather than verticle. Than you can see signatures and post numbers etc...

Yep. That was the problem. That seems like a silly thing to do, but they did it.

I’d have to divide my favorites into two categories. Target would be the Dan Wesson .357 741S. Hunting would be the Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter .41 mag with Bisley grip.

That’s cheating. Favorite only applies to one, and I am appalled at the fact that I did not find a good excuse to talk about multiples.

I cherish an unfired Python (6" Nickel) built in 1978. I still have the original styrofoam box and ripped-up sleeve and factory manual. I take it out of the safe from time to time to admire it, wipe it with a new silicone rag reserved for that purpose, and put it back in its place. I really need to sell it, realize a profit, and move on. Since I paid very little for it I will reinvest the proceeds into an Ed Brown or Wilson Combat 1911. I will instruct my heirs and assigns to have me buried with that gun.
Fortunately, I have two siver dollars for the toll for the Ferryman.

Whew! This is a tough question. As a revolver junkie my best answer is the next revolver I get. Worse is I have a long list of revolvers that I like to have.
So in keeping with a apparent intent of the topic my top two choices are the Ruger Vaquero 45 Colt with 4 3/4" barrel and a S&W Model 10-6 4" heavy barrel.
I have a long history with my pair of Vaqueros. First in CAS and later in CMSA. Both have action jobs and Bisley style hammers for easier one-hand cocking. One of them is hanging in a holster on my bedpost loaded with Winchester Silvertips.
I do not have a long history with the particular Model 10-6 I currently own but have a long history with K-Frame revolvers in general. This particular gun is a leo trade-in showing the years of holster wear on blue finish. Shortly after buying it I had to send it to the mothership where they installed all new parts in the action. The action feels so new that I considered having the gun reblued but then realized if I did so it would become a safe queen.
I guess I lean more towards the Model 10 as the last revolver I will sell but that is not the same as saying it is my favorite of the two.

That'd have to be my only one left, Ruger Redhawk 4.2" in .45 Colt.

Well, I don’t want to be labeled as a cheater LOL! So I’ll go with the Ruger SBH in .41.

Right now it would be my S&W 386 Night Guard:
Short barrel, alloy frame, seven shot. For some reason I just really love shooting this gun, even over my 4 inch 686 revolver.

S&W model 15 with HOUGUE rubber grips. It is just about the most pleasant revolver that I shoot on a regular basis. I bought it used as a FL Dept. of Corrections trade in and it looked awful with the last user having "gouged" his badge # onto the side, but it was tight, had HOUGUE'S and a very smooth trigger from a lot of squeezing. Using standard pressure ammo, it is a treat to shoot.

a humble 2” taurus 85 38sp that i got gently used in the early 1980s. i replaced the wooden with pachmayr grips. with two speedloaders and a couple of boxes of fmj ammo it literally traveled around the world discretely locked away in a metal tool box.
