I know they're not all auto's but here goes. 4" smith and wesson 357 concealable and hard hitting. Ruger single six it was my dad's and I've taken a whole bunch of rabbits and rattlers with it. Smith and wesson m&p 9mm. It's high cap, reliable, and accurate.
If it was three pistols I'd go with a Ruger Mark series .22, Beretta 92 or M9 and a 1911 of some sort. If it's three handguns we're talking about, then I'm in for a .22 revolver (like my trusty Dan Wesson 22), a .357 revolver (the 686 comes to mind) and a .45 ACP like a 1911 or Glock 30.
I love the LCR platform (can you tell) and I like only having to know and practice with 1 battery of arms. So .22 for practice, .38 for carry and .357 for HD.
I would pick the exact three I currently own...the two that were my dad's: a) S&W 686 PowerPort 6" .357 magnum revolver; b) S&W 642 snubby .38 spl +p revolver; and my Beretta 92FS Inox 5" 9mm parabellum semiautomatic pistol; due to bad spending decisions I have had to intermittently sell firearms and what I have left is what I like the most
Same caliber(40S&W) one for the wife and one for me.
3rd is a toss up. I would like a MP shield, but also want a 1911... I have rifles for hunting, but if I had to have a pistol for hunting I guess my 3rd would be a large caliber wheel gun.
638 for ease of carry, always carry gun
Single six, 22/22mag, versitle gun and cal. hunting, plinking, great woods gun.
G17 for home defense, good service pistol, light attachment
.22 Colt Woodsman 4 3/4" Sporter - Who doesn't love .22s
9mm Sig P226 - Great pistol and my first hand gun
.45 Colt Model 25 - At least one big bore has to be in there (Also a BP reload option)
