Colt Python. No real reason, I just like my Pythons. The only thing I shoot with them is a piece of paper, but just holding them makes me grin.
I like Smith and Wesson K-frames too. I've owned N's and J's and various and sundry other brands, but I suppose it's` pretty close between the Python, and a nice K-frame like this Model 67-1, 38 Special. I can have two favorites.

My dads Riverside, California cousin came back home to visit my family about 1972or '73. He had a s&w 66 snub. I knew then that I would have one some day.
Its my favorite.

Lately my favorite has been my Cimarron sourced Uberti 1860 Army chambered in 45acp !!
The 45acp Kirst conversion cylinder is the latest offering from the company. It is also an industry first offering for the open-top platform!! The setup seems to be a rather accurate shooter!! Will update from time to time.

I love N-Frame S&Ws, specifically my Model 29-2! I was wearing mine all weekend in a shoulder holster while exploring the woods in an area with a high bear population. It's one of those guns that is almost too nice to carry... but I carry it anyway, because it's too nice to leave in the safe!

Another vote for S&W N-frames, make my full underlug and round butt! All but one is moonclip fed. Moonclips rule!
But I also have a soft spot for double action top break revolvers, especially Webleys.

For the past good many years, my main application for a revolver has been IDPA REV, calling for a 4" centerfire DA sixshooter.
I have done side by side comparisons.
I bounce back and forth between M67 and M686.
The M25 loads easy with clips but is heavy to handle.
The Python has style but a loooong action.

I understand there's help available for that...

Ruger single actions followed closely by Colt repros. I like the adjustable sights on the Rugers and shoot them better. I don't really have a need for a huge amount of horsepower but enjoy the big boomers loaded down somewhat. Age an arthritis has taken a toll on my wrist and I prefer to not have it hurting. I also have some double/single action revolvers but shoot them much less than the SA's. I just don't enjoy them as much as I do the cowboy guns.

Ho...
Big fan of the S&W N and L frame revolvers and just about any SAA clone by Uberti, Pietta, Taylor's, Cimmaron and the Schofield and Remington clones. I also have a large number of BlackHawks and Dan Wesson revolvers so apparently I have quite an affinity for them as well.

Across the board for value, durability, quality,size, shootability etc. I have to go with the Ruger security six. Others may be better in certain areas but as a whole the security six has the best combination IMO. Its a shame Ruger abandoned it but I understand why.

An all-around favorite, not favorite for a particular use? That's a tough one.
I guess it'd have to be the Ruger SP-101. I particularly like it in a 3" 357, as it can do a bit of everything.
In a survival hunting situation, I could hunt big game with a heavy 357 load and the laser grip sight. (not ideal, but I think it'd put a deer down with a lung shot and some tracking)
In a survival SHTF/riot scenario, it would be good with 38+P hollow points and a few speed loaders, or even regular 38 wadcutters.
At the range, it's pretty accurate.
As a concealed carry gun, it's not TOO big or heavy.
It's my Goldilocks handgun.
Mine looks like this, but with the CTC laser grip that accommodates the pinky:
If I were to buy one nowaday$, I think I'd get the Lipsey's Distributor model; blued with a shorter under lug, wood grip insert and adjustable sights:
As someone said earlier, Rugers using this type of action aren't hard to improve at home. I polished up the internals on mine, polished the sides of the hammer, radiused the trigger corners a bit, and installed a Wolff spring kit and it is a nice shooter.
I almost said "S&W K", as they have better actions from the factory, but they're too big to CC.
A new Colt King Cobra (3") might be in the mix, but I've not shot one. Trigger & build quality seem nice.

I just want a Ruger police six in blue steel. I’d be a happy man...

I'm happy with both of these.
Aww, you took a family photo! How'd you get them to behave so well?
The purchasing agent for the LE Departments may have had a say in that. Or the folks that set up the guide lines for private purchase.
