I had exactly that revolver, bought second-hand in Berlin in 1989. Even then it cost me, uh, quite a lot of money. But it made a Python feel like a well-used Howdy Doody cap gun. It went back to Germany in the great betrayal in 1997, for twice as much as I had paid for it.
I'm going to say a Glock double stack 9mm versions.
HOLD ON!!! Hear me out!
In response to the hate on Glocks in the overrated thread.
Tell me another pistol that is as reliable, accurate, and as affordable out of the box.
I have a 26, 19, 17, and 34.
I can use the same holsters for all for, and I can use G17 mags for all four.
It's the most versatile.
Name another pistol you can have a sub compact carry gun, a midsize, full size and competition gun that you can swap holsters and mags.
Carry any gun and have back up mags around that will fit any platform.
Okay, start your hate........
My Ruger MKI Target. In close to 40 years, never a bobble or "jam" in spite of some crappy ammo. Not my favorite pistol but it has certainly been reliable... It has a solid place in my selection and has never been sold or traded off, and it is kept handy..
I had a 1B in 30-06. That 26 inch barrel could almost eek out 2900 fps with a 180gr bullet.
Just saw this while flipping through past posts. I was in Berlin from 76-82 and again from 87-91. I was Air Force but worked at Teufelsberg at US Army Field Station Berlin. I was a German linguist and eventually made E-9 in '91 based mostly on being the Operations MFWIC during the whole fall of the Wall thing. Glad to see another Berliner, not to mention a fellow firearms enthusiast.I had exactly that revolver, bought second-hand in Berlin in 1989. Even then it cost me, uh, quite a lot of money.

Underrated...
I'd say any of the various US made single shot shotguns made till H&R / NEF went under.
I love it when people claim that Glocks aren't accurate.
My Glock G29 has always been freakishly accurate for a compact 10mm...

And my Gen 5 G19 isn't bad, either...

Glocks are pretty darn accurate; people just either can't master the trigger, or repeat the mantra of other people that can't shoot them well.
Mine's a "Standard" and for the same reason I chose the Marlin I mentioned, boringly accurate, reliable as a steel handled hammer. The Marlin was the first firearm I ever fired. This one was the second. Neither one is going anywhere.My Ruger MKI Target. In close to 40 years, never a bobble or "jam" in spite of some crappy ammo.
