So, all things considered, what cartridge would you pick if you could only have one?

My vote goes to .44 mag because I think it's a good balance of size, power, and affordability.
Over the years I've had a lot of handguns in calibers ranging from .22LR, 9mm, .38/.357, .44 Spec./Mag. and .45 ACP. I would very much not want to be limited to one single caliber. I recognize that social and political changes may well result in such changes becoming reality. If I should be limited to one single caliber, it would be the .38 Special/.357 S&W Magnum.
