And 50’s model 41 is a thing of beauty

I dunno, the M&P made the list? Top 5? I mean it is a decent firearm, but their top 5?
No recognition of the fact that they make the most powerful handgun in the world? Or the fact that it is sexy as hell?
If Ruger made the 500, it would look like... well.. a Ruger.

AND 1911's do NOT have an external extractor. AND guns should never be adorned with friggin fish scales. Who was the freakin design motard that thought that was a good idea? It troubles me deeply that at some point, there was a board meeting when that concept was introduced, and they agreed it should proceed.

Altamont makes the fish scale grips

+1 on the 3rd Gen.
Daily carry until I picked up a Sig P938

 

[Coyote33]

Absolutely right. As far as I know, no one has ever built a striker-fired revolver...yet.

That is an interesting idea. Something which hasn't been done yet.

Ah, and old 686 with the recall work done for the hammer nose bushing problem with 357 ammo. Does the CS stand for Custom Shop?

They missed the 625 and/or 25-2.

Wish I bought a 547 when they were a current product.

I have a 625, .45 long colt. It has a 6.5" barrel to accommodate the huge port in front of the barrel. Hot, .45, long colt, hand loads, are really sweet through this beast. Makes the 629 classic, 44 magnum that I have, seem a bit tame.

Mostly all time classics (29, 686, etc) and Smith 1911s are awesome but I have to say that I REALLY like my M&P 2.0 full size 9. Dropped an Apex trigger in there and it is probably my favorite handgun.

Smith 76..

So awesome that the s&w people completely deny it ever existed!

 

[Bender]

Gotta start with the S&W 76.

In numerical order by Model # not necessarily the order in which make my list.

Sorry...but the polymer guns that S&W built should NOT be in anyones TOP5.
The steel guns are what put S&W on the map and are their finest guns.

 

[frenchman]

I'd buy any S&W with the firing pin on the hammer, and basically any third gen semi, but that's about it. No M&P at all, no shield, no ninetennerlebben. Just wheel guns and 3rd gen.

All the 1st, 2nd , and 3rd. Gen guns. The best of the best.

A model 544 is one of my bucket list guns.

A few years ago there were two of them in the classifieds for the longest time, is that one of them? At the time I wasn't into 44-40 so I never even considered grabbing them.

The steel wheel guns are what put S&W on the map and are their finest guns.

FTFY

 

[Amputee Marksman]

My favorite S&W without a question is the Model 10.
