One handgun? One of my Model 19s, for versatility. One long gun? A recently acquired 12 gauge pump gun.

The Kahr K9 was the best gun I have owned as far as fitting my hand and ease of carry.

There is a fatal flaw in your question. "the one". This is an abstract expression of something that does not exist...sorta like asking what color is your favorite Unicorn.

I don't know if I "found the one" or just lost interest in looking. The Glock 19 meets my carry/home defense needs and there's really nothing else out there that catches my eye.

I have other guns but other than 2 that I bought in private sales nothing that I couldn't live without. So I guess the Glock is "the one".

I don’t care for pistols I have them but always been a revolver guy. We’re all going to get old someday to the point we can’t rack the slide on a pistol?

This is a which ccw gun would you pick if you could only have one question? Narrowing down your collection.

I said my s&w m58/41mag. I still like my 357’s & 44 mags too.

After considerable thought, it would likely be one of my 1911's. Choosing which one of them would be the really hard part, but the USGI 1911 and Sig 1911 Ultra Compact would be in the running.

Even if I had one gun that did it all for me, and I desired no other gun, I'd still want a duplicate just in case.

So even if I narrowed it to one, I'd have to have two.

My search for the "perfect" specimen is unending. Unfortunately, I'm usually a sucker for the "latest thing."

Fella by the name of Rogers sold me this one, assuring me that it was the latest thing...

I've bought and sold a lot of guns and owned over a 100 through the years and I got rid of all polymer guns except my LCPII .380 because it is so small and light. Currently two guns I recently acquired are my absolute favorites, a 1979 four inch Highway Patrolmen and a Browning HP 9m/m, but based on my history that will probably change some day.
