Just as the title says, what's your favorite C&R pistol? (Pics are always nice too)
What's your favorite C&R pistol?

Hands down it's the CZ82.
For $180, it was the best money I've ever spent on a firearm.

Smith and Wesson 44 Special Triple Lock
S&W 3913 usually, but lately a Canik C-100 is being used more often: light, stays with 9MM fixation I have, and, at $300.00 it is not a great loss if stolen,lost, etc.
Nagant revolver... NOT! Interesting as a collector piece, but nasty shooter.
CZ52 was prolly the ugliest handgun ever made, I fired about 70 rounds through that fireball spitter, felt no love there.
Had and East German Makarov that was beautiful and I liked plenty, but decided I wanted a full size modern pistol and sold it.
I think bang for the buck is likely the CZ82.

Man, I wish I could just buy every Russian surplus firearm I read about! That CZ82 looks great.
I've been spending far too much on shaving gear and have neglected my other hobbies.
Thus, my favorite C&R handgun is my only C&R handgun...
Grandpa's Colt 1903. Serial number dates to 1917
Mom said he got it "just after the war"

Don't think either one of these pistols are considered C&R. Both require an FFL to complete the transfer.
I am surprised no one has mentioned any 1911s.
Recently picked up a Sistema 1911. A licensed Argentinian copy using Colt equipment under Colt supervision.

Everytime you post this pic, I just stop and stare. Absolutely amazing firearm.
Sad thing is, I've had it for over a year and I haven't had a chance to get to the range with ANY of my guns since.
Things have been too crazy with work and life.
It's not for a lack of ammo... heck, I've let my boss borrow 3 of my guns over the last year along with 50rd boxes of ammo (and he's been gentle, not shooting the whole box).
Right now, he's got my 1911.
I really need to get this 32 out to the range.
CZ-82 but the CZ -52 was fun to tinker with. New grips and trigger work made it a nice pistol to shoot.

A toss-up between one of my Lugers or one of my Webleys! Love the Broomhandle, though. Just got my first one. 
I have a Red Nine; looks just like that with the 9 in the handle. Do you shoot yours??
THAT is a HELL of a pistol. Sweet shooting wheel guns.
Makarov of course!
