What is the flagship of your handgun collection?

That would be two pistols: 1) Colt Diamondback 4" Nickel .38 Special sitting in my safe deposit box, and 2) Anniversary model of the Dirty Harry .44 Magnum.

For my semi-autos, I have a couple of Ed Browns that would qualify. For a revolver, it's a tougher choice. To get down to one of each, here are my EB Special Forces and my 8 inch Python.

M17 Luger. Nazi presentation. Silver inlaid w/Hitler's signature. Holster converts to stock, stock holds two mags, all numbers match and it's in LN condition. It's in a safe deposit box and unavailable for pics.
 
For my Semi Autos it's easily this one:
100_1059.jpg

My Dan Wesson PM10B. It's number 52 of 300. A prototype built by Bob Serva of Dan Wesson(pre CZ). Many features on this are rare. One being nomenclature, Blued(instead of stainless), The DW Logo is almost non-existent on the slide.

For revolvers, this one gets the nod:
100_0869.jpg

At first it looks to be an unassuming Ruger Speed Six, but here is the skiny.
It is Naval contract overrun, produced by Ruger, for the Naval Investigative Service,(which is stamped on frame NIS). It's a US Gov. marked gun (GS32N), with little to no Ruger consumer rollmarks.
I found this in LNIB condition, as it left the DRMO warehouse(most likely) with
- Presentation Pachmayers
- replacement front sights (for easy caliber identification)
- Dist box
- Sales Box
- papers
- and at my request, a statement from Ruger on this gun
 
I love them all no safe queens, all have different sentimental value. Some I carried on duty and som My dad carried. And one I used to defend myself from a rapist who was trying to leave the scene through me with a knife.

Colt Single Action Army .357 that I bought in 1977 for a whopping $400.00. They are 3 to 4 times that cost now. I rarely shoot it and it has only about 200 rounds through it.
