Nice questions but many ways to answer it.
I answered the question as in
"if you could only have ONE pistol, what would you have?"
In that regard, I chose Traditional DA/SA. Mostly because I feel most comfortable having a round in the chamber, safety off, and a long, heavy first shot. (Yes, I'm a revolver guy).
HOWEVER, from all pistols, my favourite pistol of them all is the Browning Hi-Power. Didn't choose "SA" in the poll because I wouldn't carry it or use for HD, that's all.
