If you could only have one handgun, what would it be?

[Redneck with a 40]

For me, its my 357 magnum, hands down. I can plink with 38 specials and load magnums for backcountry and personal protection. Its a great reloading caliber as well, everything from 110 grain to 200 grain bullets, soft points to lead to hollowpoints. To me, the 357 is the versatility king. Its also a proven manstopper.

As much as I like my 40's, if I could only keep one, it'd be the 357.

 

[KD7ONE]

I would choose the Para Ord .45

 

[azredhawk44]

Ruger Redhawk 4" 44magnum.

 

[CajunBass]

I don't own one anymore, but IF I could only have one.... A four inch 357 revolver.

 

[jestertoo]

1911 with some sort of 22 conversion kit.

or


Glock 9mm with a 22 conversion kit.

There's cheap plinking.

 

[sfhogman]

My Smith 620 for the aforementioned reasons.

 

[Boats]

My choice would be my Ruger KGP-141 .357 Magnum.

Since the grip is on a stud, someday mutant cockroaches who have inherited the Earth will be banging away with it and won't have to police their brass in order to get them back to the reloader.

 

[glockman19]

Hard choice, I'd say a good all around round would be the .357 Mag. Now what gun? S&W or Ruger. Between the two I'd pick the S&W 686+ with a 4,5 or 6" barrel.

 

[KINGMAX]

S & W 686

Just one = S & W 686-1 in .357 magnum

 

[dao]

+1 for a S&W 686+1 in 4" barrel.

 

[Deer Hunter]

For a revolver, easily an S&W .357 L frame. Any model.

For a semi, a CZ 75 with a .22 conversion kit.

 

[BADUNAME13]

Custom 1911 with rail, night sites, ambi safety, beavertail safety with memory bump, and flat mainspring housing, in SS.

-Basically a Custom Kimber Warrior in SS. Les Baer makes it, but it is $2K more than the kimber. I decided to spend the $2K on ammo and training and deal with no SS.

with .22 conversion kit and .460 Rowland conversion.

 

[ARTiger]

4" Ruger GP100

 

[mmissile]

Hk P9S.

 

[lionking]

HK USP .45.

I have affection for the Sig 220 also,dont have one though...yet.

 

[Ala Dan]

Hard Choice Is Right~!

I can think of three, right off the bat. But, the most versatile of those
choices would be a


6" Smith & Wesson 686-5

Shoot .38's for practice, and load it up with .357 magnums for hunting or
self defense~!

 

[Tiny in Ohio]

For me it would be the 1911, with a .22 conversion. I love my .357, but the 1911 is my go to shooter.

 

[auberg]

That's a tough call. Either a Colt King Cobra 4" stainless. or
1911 in stainless. Probably Colt too.

 

[Quiet]

H&K P-7M7.
.45 ACP P-7.

 

[jonsidneyb]

One handgun? I would be torn between a S&W 19 4inch or 6inch and a 4 inch S&W29

This would depend on where I lived. Where I am at not it would be the 4 or 6 inch 19 and I would have to think long hand hard to choose.

 

[Redneck with a 40]

Lots of smith revolver fans here, but my 357 is a Taurus Tracker 4 inch in stainless and I love it, 7 shot cylinder, ported barrel = pleasure to shoot. Its tight and accurate.

 

[TexasP226]

Sig P226 9mm without a doubt.

 

[lee n. field]

If you could only have one handgun, what would it be?

Depends on circumstances.

 

[bl4ckd0g]

My P226 w/ the .40S&W barrel installed.

 

[Brian Williams]

this one.
