Another Gun Questionaire???

[joe saxon]

What ONE handgun would you own for each Different Caliber:

.22 Ruger Single Six with Magnum Cylinder.
.25 Beretta 950 BS.
.32 Walther PPK
.380 Beretta 84F
.38spl S&W model 60.

Tag.

 

[Darkmind]

I tend to stick with 40 cal. Cheep enough to plink with and still has balls behind it. Just my .02

-----------------------------------------
What ONE handgun would you own for each Different Caliber:
-----------------------------------------

.22 -- I think I'd go with my Colt Officer's Model Target (1930s-era revolver.)

.25 -- my wive has had a Colt .25 for about 30 years. It's a collector's item these days.

.32, .380 -- don't have or need one of either


.38spl -- Colt Detective Special

.357 mag -- Colt Model 357 which I carried my first tour in Viet Nam


.357 sig, .38 super, 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, .44 mag -- don't have or need any of these


.45ACP -- currently a Kimber Classic, MKI

(Added) .45 Colt -- Tossup between my Colt New Service and my Ruger Blackhawk

 

[Dave R]

I'll play.

.22--S&W Kit Gun (used)
.25-No use for it. But if I had to, a Beretta Jetfire or Taurus clone of same.
.32--P-32
.380--P-3AT (traded a -32 on a -3AT) Would settle for a PPK...
.9mm
.38spl S&W model 60.
.357 Ruger SP-101 3"
.357 BHP in .40 with barrel replaced.
.38 super Colt G/M
.9mm Tough choice--BHP
.40 Glock model 22/23
.10mm S&W 610 (just to be a contrarian)
.44 mag Ruger SRH.
.45 ACP Sig Sauer P-220

 

[Black Snowman]

If I was starting from scratch:

.22 LR: IZH-35 imported by EAA. Actually have a Buckmark 5.5 Target I'm perfectly happy with.
.25: Not a fan. No plans for one.
.32: Not a fan. No plans for one.
.380: Not a fan but might get a CZ-83.
.38spl: S&W or Taurus shrouded hammer snubby.
.357 Mag: Have a 6" Taurus 669 I'm happy with, wouldn't mind a snubby or DEagle in .357 to go with it but I just can't bring myself to replace the 669 so it must be pretty good
.357 SIG: A compact SIG, don't know the model number.
.38 Super: Something with a LOT of capacity. Double stack 1911 if I can't find something I like better.
9 mm: CZ 75B, have it. Great gun.
.40 S&W CZ 75B SA.
10 mm: Witness full size w/ Wonderfinish.
.44 Mag: Ruger Super Blackhawk.
.45 ACP: CZ 97B.

I don't have much interest in below 9mm/38 to me its a small bore.

 

[Erik Jensen]

.22: Hammerlli olympic grade target pistol
.25: Baby Browning
.32: original WWII Walther PPK
.380: Keltec P3AT
.38spl: either some flavor of S&W J frame or a WWII vintage S&W M&P
.357 mag: a Coonan. just because.
.357 sig: Beretta Cougar? never really considered the .357Sig
.38 super: Colt polished 1911
9mm either a Browning High Power or a First Model Beretta 92
.40 S&W: another compromise round. well, I've owned a Kahr MK40, so let's go with that.
10mm: longslide 1911, but appointed like a WWII USGI 1911
.44 mag: Mateba. again, why not, eh?
.45ACP: a 1911, only customized like someone would have customized it in the late '30's. Nickel plated, of course, but with slightly higher-profile sights.

 

[Archie]

Ah, the one only dream list....

.22 lr Colt Woodsman Match Target
.25 ACP Beretta JetFire, pre-safety
.32 ACP Colt 1903 Pocket Pistol
.380 ACP Llama "Especial". Was a shrunken 1911, down to the locking lugs.
.38 Special S&W K-38
.357 Magnum. Dang. Either a Registered Magnum or an early Combat Magnum four inch
.357 SIG; .38 Super; 9x19; 40 S&W; 10mm and .45 ACP would all be basic 1911 pistols with appropriate hole in barrel and extractors. Why fiddle with the sublime?
.44 Magnum, early S&W revolver

This really isn't fair, as one needs more than one .357 Magnum, and certainly more than one .45 Auto.

But that's the best I can do with your premise.
