Seems for the last 20+ years big handguns have been popular.
Mine is a T/C contender in 375 winchester with 12 inch bbl. It throws out a 270 gr Hornady at 1710 fps BC is .380 so it holds its energy much further than most hand guns. More powerful than a 455 Casull at the muzzle. At 200 yards it has the same power as a 44 mag at the muzzle.

I'm a big Smith&Wesson fan. I have several but the biggest is a .357 Mag.
I had a model 29, 44Mag for a while but it wasn't fun to shoot. I traded it off for something I would use. Most of my accumulation is K frame S&W's but probably my favorite is a 6 inch K-38 Masterpiece. That is the most fun and accurate handgun I own. Wing master

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

I could never shoot 1911 or SBH. they just don't fit my hand and under recoil move off target.

I have a Ruger SRH 44 mag, dad and uncles have several 29/629 Smiths. I have shot a 460 and 500S&W. I have had a hankering for a 454 or 480 ruger to play with. IMO, the 460/500s are way overkill, they are no fun to shoot. In all honesty a 44 is quite the handful. It is probably my favorite to load for and shoot. I have several rifles chambered in 44 as well. A 240gr JHP or hard cast SWC is serious deer medicine in my neck of the woods. 100yd shots are few and far between with somewhere between 30-60yds being the average. I can load it down with 44Sp and make it fun to plink or load it with a stiff charge of 296 (my go-to) and watch the fire fly out the barrel!!

I now have caliber envy.
My wife says my little 22 is big enough.

My big gun are 45LC in a RBHs. I have one with optics and a shortened 6" barrel for hunting and a 4 5/8" as my field gun when I'm working at the farm. The short one usually has the snake shot loads in it for my slithery friends.

Still a convertible Ruger Single Six, so the 22 magnum...leaving aside the somewhat questionable practice of shooting a Savage 24C's 20-gauge barrel one-handed.
