    An old discussion, but why not...

    Ruger Gp-100, .357mag. The weapon is simple, reliable and of course allows the use of any .38Special or .357mag ammo on the market. Accurate to enjoy range time, plenty effective for social work.

    gotta go with

    Colt

    1911

    .45

    Brand doesn't matter as much to me as the history and classic design of the 1911..

    Of course that tiger striped DE from another thread this morning really has me thinking... I love the classics!
