QUOTE: "if we extend Rembrandt's tool idea just a little bit: Think of the Swiss Army Knife and the Leatherman-type combination tools. Some may recall the old fencing pliers tool - - A decent light hammer, staple puller, pliers, wire stretcher, wire cutter, and possibly a screwdriver blade. Fits in a saddlebag or truck glove box, and is overall a very useful item. Surely, a better tool for everyday use than, say, a digital micrometer that reads out to .0000005"."
I see your point, but consider the "Multi-Tool-Swiss Army Knife" analogy flawed, in that while it may be functional, it's still a substandard substitute for the real thing; be that of a hammer, pliers, screwdriver, target gun, CCW Gun, Hunting gun, etc...of course I'm taking the question in it's literal context "Is there one handgun that you consider to be best?"
