No question - I play this game all the time in "The Home Version". Gotta be my military surplus 1911 as I have butt-loads of mags, 1000's of rounds shooting service 1911's and no end of spare parts.
 
Colt series 70 for sentimental reasons. If **** hit the fan and I needed to keep only one I'd take my P226 .40
 
I'm not sure what I can do to make this thing stop shooting.
I wouldn't say this is a Saturday Night Special, it definitely doesn't act like one and it's functional quality is impressive.

Easy to narrow it down to two pistols, my Dan Wesson V-Bob and my Glock 19. If I could only have one the G19 would win.
 
This plain jane all steel 5" 1911 could be the one.

Mine would absolutely be my Colt. It's my most accurate shooting pistol, and it carries well. It doesn't hurt that it's pretty :)

Probably my well-used EDC--Kimber Eclipse Pro II. Works every time and hits what I point at.
 
I'm with BigShep85 on keeping my S&W M&P 40c, as my last auto pistol I wouldn't let go of. LM
 
Ahhh, this is much easier than the revolver question you had asked about. My last keeper would be the Walther P99.

My alloy framed RAMI.

Nearly flawless (one jam)performance since 2004.

The newer RAMI P with the CZ85 Combat trigger and as tuned by CZ-USA,
would go before this one.

It'd be a close call, but I think I'd keep my Ruger P95 - even over my S&W M&P, which I shoot a lot more (and have more fun with), but I still trust the Ruger more when it comes to reliability.

All my other guns have some quirk (smaller or obscure chamberings, single action, limited capacity, etc). If I had to just one it would have to be a double-stack 9mm, hence the above.
 
The last auto I'd ever let go of would be my Walther P99AS. It's just far and away the best semi-auto I've ever encountered. A dream to shoot and just stupidly reliable. Nice to look at too (for a polymer gun).
 
That's easy, my very first handgun, a 1911 built from a WW2 era Ithaca slide and a newer Auto Ordnance frame.

Nothing fancy at all about it, but it's a solid gun that'll go the distance, goes BANG! every time the trigger is pulled regardless of what I feed it, and it has sentimental value being my first pistol and all. Made me fall in love with 1911s. I'd have to work a little harder than I'm currently used to if I wanted to CCW with it, but I've done it before so I know it can be done.
 
Magazine... Clip..?????

Ok to pick a nit...

I do not currently own any "Auto's".. (but it is a life long dream of mine to own one) so...

If I had to choose between my 2 "Semi-Auto's" being my open carry firearm full size XD-40 and my conceal carry firearm Glock 27sc Gen.4, I would opt for the XD due to higher capacity magazine capability...:D

Platform aside, I'd keep the one that had the most reliable track record that also had the best chance of always having ammunition readily available.

If the above criteria gave me more than one choice, I'd keep the one for which spare parts were plentiful and easily obtained or that I already possessed.

That would probably leave me a Glock in 9mm with the top two candidates being my Gen2 17 or my Gen4 19.

Gen2 Glock 17 hands down.
 
Unfortunately, my collection of firearms is somewhat limited. I only own three autos, two of which are .22LR's. So, that leaves me with my 4.5" XDm 9mm with the one I'd keep. Now, if I had my choice of autos as my only one, I'd pick something entirely different. Probably a full-sized custom 1911.

Same issue with revolvers, fairly limited in my collection.... okay, only one. My 6" Ruger GP100. I love it, but if I had to keep only one revolver of my choosing, it'd probably be a 3" or 4" .357. Maybe an SP101, GP100, or S&W 686 or Colt Python. (Hah! Python... don't see myself owning one of those anytime soon. Anyone wanna donate some cash toward my "MrSpiffy needs a Colt Python" fund??)
 
H&K USP 45, when you look up the word reliable in the dictionary, you will see a picture of this pistol....pull the trigger 5,000 times in a row, it will go bang...
