O.k. guys, I guess I'll have to throw in a "favorite hand gun picture" as well. Nothing beats the ol' Peacemaker for aesthetic beauty. If you want a sidearm you can admire as well as shoot, there is none better (in my book). Of course, I'm biased. I grew up shooting these with my dad and uncles. I have killed antelope in Wyoming and large mule deer here in Washington (along with numerous coyotes, rock chucks, and ground squirrels) with this one; it shoots quite well and with more than enough power for those jobs. I am actually quite comfortable with the thought of defending myself with one if need be, as odd as that may sound. I'm as apt to carry one (when I can hide is sufficiently) as my vastly more modern 1911.
