Only One Handgun

Billyz · 10-26-2009, 06:10 PM

i dont own one but if I could only have one gun it would be the GP100.

lynxpilot · 10-26-2009, 06:52 PM

My S&W 500. It can do anything any handgun can do and do it excessively.

Most fun gun of all to shoot.

God willing and a following of 2nd Amendent believers I will not have to worry about your query! Now if we can only get Congress, the Executive branch and the Judicial Branch to follow the Constitution.......

mines in .44

A lot of S&W 686's out there !! I as well, love that gun. Mine would have to be my recently purchased CZ 10mm. But I would cry the blues for the loss of my Ruger 45LC with Bisley hammer and trigger !!

TACAV · 10-26-2009, 09:22 PM

Since I dont hunt with a handgun and Im not nearly the outdoorsman that some of you all are here (working on it though

) my handguns are for defensive and work purposes. So Id take my Rugged, dependable and stupid simple Glock 19. It also fits my small hands like a glove.

As one trainer said,
"Its small enough to conceal and big enough to fight with."

sea_chicken1 · 10-27-2009, 11:50 AM

If It was one I owned it would be My XD40 Fits my hand very well, shoots straight and will take any type of abuse I could aver dish out on it.

Ten Man · 10-27-2009, 12:07 PM

My Glock 21 is the one I would keep.

All the factors that go into this decision: utility, size, caliber, effectiveness, accuracy, durability, function, weight, feel, color, ammo capacity, ammo availability, ease of reloading, sights, history of use, safety of carry, muzzle flash, and loudness, just to name a few.

Kimber custom classic 1911

FortyXDM · 10-27-2009, 09:09 PM

That would be my XDM .40 ! I no longer shoot as much as I once did, otherwise, my Ruger Redhawk .44 mag would make it a little tougher call.

captsquirrel · 10-27-2009, 09:21 PM

I'd have to go with the GP-100 crowd. Not very concealable with the 6" barrel but It would still be my choice. And a tough choice it is.

danf6975 · 10-27-2009, 09:27 PM

i would have to go with an XDM40 . not all that expencive but it shoots beautifully is reliable and accurate and fits my hand perfectly and has 3 backstraps so i can adjust size for anyone else that might use it.

All of the greatest minds in the universe were once asked this question and they unanimously agreed that a person limited to one handgun should have a Colt Government Model .45.

jmp8927 · 10-28-2009, 09:16 PM

I only have a CZ-82, but soon will have a Ruger MkIII 22/45. Can't wait! If it came down to choosing I'd probably take the MkIII over the CZ.

Pyro01 · 10-28-2009, 09:59 PM

My S&W 460 revolver, who says you can't hunt bunny rabbits with big bore handguns? It'll put down a bear that's for sure

Roper1911 · 10-28-2009, 10:11 PM

just keep a putty-knife handy so you can scrape your bunny off the surrounding landscape. I've seen the .460 vaporize cantaloupes- bunnys are much more fragile.

Fokker · 10-28-2009, 11:06 PM

I'd be torn between my CZ-100 and my USP. Since my USP is harder to conceal on warm days, I'd have to stay with the CZ.
