Like the women in our lives, handguns are a very personal choice.

+1! I have two centerfire handguns. That said, the one handgun I enjoy shooting the most is my rimfire .22. A 1970 made in Belgium Browning "Challenger" model. It's a little sweetheart. 100% pleasure shooting. Ammo cost is zilch, which is a big plus if you shoot a lot. I couldn't guess the number of rounds I've put through it. It's never needed any work.
