If you only had one choice as to what gun you could carry, what would it be??? Give me all your thoughts and suggestions...... Thanks

[Ala Dan]

You are going to get many different opinions, from a wide variety of our
membership~! :uhoh:

With that said, it would depend on what purpose the weapon is to be used
for? For me, I think strictly from a defensive standpoint; so with that in mind
I would have too vote for the .45 ACP SIG-SAUER P220A, with its DA first
shot capability. ;) :D

[countryrebel]

From concealed carry standpoint my Glock 23c.

[orionengnr]

If I lived some place where we had four seasons, and I could wear a cover garment during three of them, my Kahr P45 IWB.

Since I don't...my Kahr PM9 in the pocket, in my DeSantis Nemesis.

[aufevermike]

My S&W 500 4inch full with 700 grain bullets coming out at 1200 ft ps..... need I say more?

[10-Ring]

For carry guns, I like polymer (at least this week). That said, my first thoughts are of either the USP/USPc in caliber of your choice or maybe a Glock 19.
Polymer is lighter, durable and has proven to be a good material for frames ;)

[bestseller92]

GLOCK 26 or 27.

[browningguy]

The same thing I carry now, BHP in .40 S&W.

[BHPshooter]

The same thing I carry now, BHP in .40 S&W.

I'm going to answer similarly: I would carry exactly what I carry now, a BHP in 9mm.

Wes :)

[22LongRifle]

A GLOCK in whatever caliber.

Even though I blew two up, they always go boom and I can shoot them.

Jerry

[cold dead hands]

Let's see, only one gun for every season and occasion?
Does it have to be concealed? Who cares? If I'm gonna get nailed down to one gun then I'll have to flip a coin to see if it is a 5 1/2 inch barrel Ruger Redhawk in .44mag or my super compact Para-Ordnance Warthog in .45acp. Either way I will not feel that I do not have enough gun.

[tbtrout]

Another vote for the Sig P220

[Drifting Fate]

Carry: W. German 9mm Sig P226 because I trust it beyond any other pistol to always work, bar none, no excuses.

Own: 9mm Hi-Power because it's a close second to my Sig in reliability and I'd hate to be without one of those svelte beauties.

[HKPRO]

HK P2000 ANY CALIBER ANY WHERE. NO COMPROMISE.
:)

[Bentonville]

HK any flavor. Love the P2000, or the USP Compact .45, or the Tactical .45, or the...well, you get the message. HK, NO COMPROMISE. I learned about the HK years ago from an active Navy SEAL.

[glockman19]

A Glock 19 of course.

[Thaddeus Jones]

In a revolver, a S&W pre lock 3" 66.

In a semi auto, an HK USP full size 45.

[RockyMtnTactical]

Glock 26/27

[Black Majik]

HK P2000

[Autolycus]

Well I am going to assume this is a handgun your talking about as this is in the handgun forum.

And I will have to say that I agree with the HK guys.

An HK P2000 with factory night sights in .40S&W with the LEM trigger.

Funny... that seems to be the gun I plan on carrying.

I am expecting a whole bunch of 1911 guys to come in any moment.

[mavracer]

my taurus 605 I'd add ct grips its big/small enough for any thing

[ArchAngelCD]

I would keep my 2.75" Ruger Police Service-Six .357 Magnum and carry it in a DeSantis Speed Scabbard.

[Peter M. Eick]

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/eickpm/psp_15yrds.jpg

PSP at 15 yrds, 50 shots, my carry ammo.

What more can you ask for.

[TonyT]

The Kahr PM9 , Glock 19 or S&W 642.

[Dobe]

1911 / .45 ACP

[coach22]

Pocket 340 PD
IWB Glock 26

coach

[Brian Williams]

What I carry, a 642. What I would carry if office rules were different, S&W 65 or 13.

[Juna]

Tie between:

CZ 75D PCR
H&K P2000

[Black Majik]

Well no, I'm a 1911 fanboy but gotta agree with you on that one. Primarily shoot 1911s, carry HK. (posts above yours). An excellent decision Tecumseh. :D

[ptmmatssc]

What I'm currently carrying , XD45 . After the first time to the range with it have fell in love with it . Accurate , reliable , and can take a beating . Six months ago it would have been my Witness 45 (same as above but less capacity ) .

[General Geoff]

Walther P99 (or Smith & Wesson SW99).

[sansone]

for carry: colt mustang, early production all-steel frame. so small plastic parts not required:barf:

[Shipwreck]

Another vote for Walther P99 A/S !!!! :D

[sb350hp]

Auto. (not brand specific) A tried, tested and trusted 1911 45.
Wheel gun. 357 mag 4" barrel.

I won't say Glock, HK, Para or any other name brand till it is in hand and proven. Say 1000 rds no hiccups. If any gun has a failure to feed for an "unexplainable" reason it should not be carried as your "only" choice.

So that "1" Gun could be a Star, Interarms, LLama, EAA, or and high dollar custom.

Gotta trust exclusively whatever you carry and price is not the determining factor in trust.

[oldrifleman]

My Beretta M9A1s with light rails, Insight Technologies M6X laser/light combos, 20rd Mec-gar mags, loaded with 100gr Corbon Pow'RBalls...

Or,

My Springfield Armory XD-.40S&W Tacticals, w/Meprolight sights, Insight Technologies M6X laser/light combos, 12rd factory mags, loaded with Remington 165gr Golden Saber JHPs...

Or,

My Springfield Armory XD-.45acp Service Model, Insight Technologies XML light, and fourteen rounds of 230gr W-W Personal Protection JHPs...

Regardless of the choice above, I'd be "happy." :)

[FMJMIKE]

Glock G-19.........:D

[ronto]

Ruger SP101 DAO 357 Magnum revolver...5 rounds of 357 will do the job.

[rbernie]

No doubt in my mind - full size M&P in 40S&W.

[Willie Makeit]

I second the choice by rbernie. I have a M&P 40 also and I think it's great. Next would be a XD 45 Compact.

[Stevie-Ray]

If this is one choice for everything and nothing else ever, I'd have to go with a Glock 29.

[lee n. field]

If you only had one choice as to what gun you could carry, what would it be???

Dog country, bear country or goblin country?

[starbuck]

The only gun I carry anyway. My Beretta 92FS :)

[Titan6]

You can't go wrong with a Glock. And they make calibers and sizes for everyone it seems.

[ssr]

My Lightweight Colt Commander bobtail.

[sorensen440]

My Springfield XD-40 without a doubt

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/sorensen440/IMG004.jpg

[Reyn]

G20 10mm

[sorensen440]

wait... you didnt say Concealed Carry
I think it would have to be an AR :neener:

[fast eddie]

Kahr P45. If I was a bigger dude it would be my 1911A1.

[Chui]

Lightly customed 1911 .45 ACP
Smith & Wesson M&P 9 mm
Browning Hi-Power 9 mm
H&K P7M8

Any of the above with the nod going to the 1911.

[22-rimfire]

One gun that was easily concealable for all occasions; it would have to be a Smith 442/642. If it was forever, a Glock 23 (40 S&W), and I would find a rig that I can conceal it with that is comfortable. I just have not found a holster I like yet for one that works for all or most occasions.

[CK]

Sig P210

[DogBonz]

Ed Brown Bob-tail Kobra Carry in 45... Not that I own one, mind you.

[md7]

if i were only able to have one gun i would go with Glock 19 or a 23. either would be fine with me.

[GroovedG19]

Beretta 8000 Cougar without question.

[sportsterguy]

One gun? Have to be my Springfield 1911 full size. Been shooting the .45's for 30 years and have total faith in the round and pistol. Sure it's been brought up in the forum before but if by way of bad luck your carry gun is taken away most of the younger generation is used to DA first shot weapons. The old slab side has that dang thumb safety most aren't used to dealing with. Could give me the chance to reacquire my running mate while the BG is figuring out what's wrong with that ol' antique pistol. :cool:

Take care all

[High Planes Drifter]

For carry, I really like the Makarov I've recently aquired, I think Id go with that one for carry.

[longeyes]

Glock 19 or 17.

Followed by:

Glock 30

S&W 442/642

Smith 1911PD

[R127]

As a carry gun I tried just about everything from full size to sub-compact. Money wasn't a factor for me. What I settled on might suprise some of you, a 9x18 Makarov.

The reasons are as follows, in order of importance.

* unfailing reliability

* excellent accuracy

* reasonably powerful cartridge

* servicable 8 round mag capacity, more is better but 8+1 is ok

* size, small enough for pocket carry but big enough for a decent grip

* solid steel construction throughout for exceptional durability

* very few parts, I can tear it down and replace everything myself

[GRIZ22]

A 4" 357 mag covers all bases. Could carry concealed if needed, good for self defense, can take deer size game at close ranges, no magazine to lose, and a wide variety of ammo at different power levels from target wadcutters (good foe small game) to full magnums. Probaly a GP100 for durability but most any would do.

[parolebear]

Only one!!!!

A Smith and Wesson Model 10 in .38 with hollowpoints. Easy to use, easy to fix, easy to find parts, easy to find bullets, easy to reload. Now I carry a Glock.
