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.......

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 !!

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
