It's a simple question. The intention is to further fellowship here at the Springfield Forum, and learn something about each other. It isn't a competition, argument, or bashing session. Simply, what is your favorite, and you are welcome to share why.
I own more Springfields than any other brand, and they are highly appreciated. However, my absolute favorite, both out of what I own now and what I've owned in the past, is my Bul Armory SASII 3.25 ultralight. It's a very well built 2011, small but not too much, it has a fantastic trigger and sufficient capacity. Perfect? No. Perfect for me? As close as I've found. It's a keeper.

My most favorite is my Colt Combat Elite XSE I bought right after my daughter was born. Liked it so much, I bought one to give her when she’s 21. I rebuilt mine and modified it by doing a trigger job, dehorn, and grips. Love that gun. It just carries so different than any of my other 1911s. My favorite Springfield is my Vickers, followed by my SS TRP then my cerakoted TRP

My favorite handgun was a 6" model 29 Smith in nickel. My dad lusted after it and I gave it to him years ago. Had a very slick trigger and was no problem hitting a milk jug at 100 yards with handloads back in the day.
I haven't been able to duplicate it with another although I have tried. Still, I wouldn't want it back for anything because I will never repay all he's done for me.
