Out of all of your revolvers

My favorite has to be the 686 2.5 inch barrel 7 shot. It's a -4 so it's pre lock and pre MIM.

The short barrel L frame carries very nicely and there are not many things I anticipate 7 rounds of 357 not addressing.

I also am partial to my 3 inch gp100's and a 3 inch 625 I picked up.
 
Of all my revolvers ranging from .22 to .460 S&W Mag, I would have to choose my Ruger Redhawk in .44 magnum. It is the most versatile and accurate (accuracy in the general form) handgun cartridge ever made. Yes, I know that is strong statement but it is hard to argue. Yeah, there may be an alternative that is a little better at this or that, but it is hard to beat the .44 magnum.

For the handloader, it is the most versatile cartridge if you could only have one. You can load .44 specials for plinking or hot .44 magnum for the largest game in North America. Yes the S&W 29's are just as versatile, but the Redhawk is stronger and more durable. A RH is a Sherman tank.

When I am walking in the woods I know I have all avenues covered with a .44 magnum no matter why I am there, i.e. hunting, hiking, land management, zombie outbreak (that was a joke) etc.

Elmer Keith did a great thing for the handgun/revolver community with his R&D of the .44 magnum.
