There'll never be another Skeeter! He, in my opinion, was the best gunwriter that ever lived. "Good Friends, Good Guns and Good Whiskey" and Hoglegs, Hipshots and Jalapeno's", I have worn my copies out reading them over and over again. As to the "If I could have one gun" question, I agree with Dobe, a .22...rifle. Mine would be a Ruger 10/22.
If I could only have One gun...

Skeeter was quite a guy. He sold 100% of his writtings, very, very few authors can say that. I wish he was still alive!
I recall the article and I disagreed with both of their choises.
A Smith for me, either a shortened 1955 (in 45 auto/auto rim of course) or one of my Shorty 45s. Very tough call.

If I could only have One Gun it'd have to be a good quality pump shotgun with a couple different barrels. If we're talking just one Handgun then for what I generally use a handgun for (CCW, Plinking) I could do ok with my 642 but if I could open carry I'd go with a 686, 4".

Combat Magnum is the P-E-R-F-E-C-T combination of size, durability, and a lot of sex appeal.

Ok boys, I know this is a Smith forum, and I do own a few of them. However, I would have to take one of my Rugers.

4" Highway Patrolman would be mine........
Shoots cheap .38 spl for plinkin' and HD.
Shoots full-house .357 for packing into the woods.

No votes yet for a good old standard flattop AR-15 ??
I believe this would be my personal pick.
Ammo easily found, and i've got lots of brass, components, etc..
Can and has taken just about every critter on the continent 2 legged or 4.
Shoots 40 gr. bullets to 69 gr.
Sling it over my shoulder and i'm good to go.
The guy with a handgun is dead at 400-500 yards before he gets to me
with bad intentions.
Just my choice because i've shot them so much, from groundhogs
growing up to coyotes to prairie-dogs in S. Dakota.

The way the political climate is going these days, we may one day have to make the one gun choice.
As to which gun I would choose, it would be the same gun I carry all the time. It is effective, it works well, stops anything I need to stop, had 30% more ammo than a revolver, less recoil and is pleasing to the eye, as well as being American made.
This one gun is the S&W SS model 1911.
Now if I am allowed two guns, the Model 66 comes into play.
As to Skeeter, I still have most of his articles and writings in my collection of gun literature. He was a proficient writer with a sense of humor.

One gun = 870 Remington
Two guns add a good 22 rifle with a bolt action
Three guns add a 3' model 65
