And this is the real answer, as others have noted.
...as long as you don't mind not being able to legitimately conceal it, that is.
That may be your answer...that doesn't make it "the" answer or the "real" answer.

I like Warp's idea of a carbine conversion, too.
I don't know why you have such a hard time concealing a 4" revolver. It isn't especially difficult....as long as you don't mind not being able to legitimately conceal it, that is.

No, I saw it. You got great advice there...all of which you seem to dismiss.I guess you missed my link earlier.
Enlighten me.

We know you didn't want a revolver, but you subverted the original guidelines yourself by allowing conversions, kits, add-ons, extra barrels and whatnot.
It became "what's the most versatile frame?". Which has been answered.
The problem with allowing every possible configuration for a pistol that's allegedly supposed to be a "Do-It-All" handgun is that when, say, a Glock 29 is set up as a .22, it sucks for defense. When set up as a carbine, it sucks for concealed carry.
When I read the OP, it asked us to suggest one GUN, now it's one FRAME.
WHICH IS FINE, as it's still a worthy pursuit. But it seems to be an answer to a question not originally asked. At least, from how I read the OP
No, legally and technically it's still just one gun. The uppers and barrels are simply parts.
But I agree with your overall point here, which is why I previously stated it does kind of defeat the purpose when you allow all kinds of conversions and what-not. At least IMO. It's like asking for "one rifle" and people say an AR and then list 10 different uppers they'd put on the lower.
ONE good all around pistol
In that case it's a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull.
This is why it's so great to be able to come to your own conclusions and buy whatever you want for whatever reason you want.
I wonder how our answers compare to those in the other forum where he posted the same question earlier. Likewise, I wonder if he's found his answer yet.
