Hello Everyone! I know this has been asked before so I apologize, but some of us like to read and participate in such discussions. The question is: if you could only have only one handgun for the rest of your life, which gun would you choose? Personally, I would probably choose the G17, although I hesitate between it and one of the CZ-75 models precisely because of the steel/metal frame, which may still be better in the long run and when the gun may serve as an heirloom. Although I wouldn't mind if it was a 92, P226, or USP. What would you choose?
If you could have only one pistol?

May be boring but a Glock 17 Gen 5. I have one and shoot it quite often, I love it.
I doubt this will surprise anyone, but I have to go with my Shield Plus.

That’s awesome, I just ordered one today.
I hope it works for you. I have carried Shields for 6 or 7 years. I’ve pretty well settled on it for good, as far as I can see.

I think it is a good choice. There are pistols I definitely like more but if I can only have one it would be the Glock 17. Here are the reasons:One one Gun and you guys pick the most boring cheap thing ever!
1. Reliability; they just work, plus the magazines are very reliable
2. Not too large to carry, but large enough to shoot quickly
3. Ammunition cost, I have 44 Special, 357 Magnum, 45 ACP guns I like as much if not more, but none are as cheap to shoot or have the same ammo availability
4. Widespread use; parts and magazines are readily available.
5. Optics cut; not going to cut up a Pre 27 to mount an Acro
Yeah, but I like boring and reliable in my guns. Add a little holster wear, and guns like that are downright sexy.One one Gun and you guys pick the most boring cheap thing ever!

in that case… COLT 1911 in Gods Caliber .45!
XD mod 2 subcompact in .45 acp with 3.3" barrel.
It shoots like a full sized pistol with the 13 round extended magazine:
And it carries very nicely with the flush 9 round magazine:
i like .45 acp as a universal, soft shooting, do most anything hand gun cartridge.

I prefer a revolver to a pistol.
My favorite is my no dash 4" 686 I hand picked out of a shipment of 20. I also high-graded the best set of concalo grips in the bunch. It was my only fringe benefit.
