If you could only have one pistol??

[Cardboard_killer]

Myself a 9mm CZ 75 with a .22 Kadet upper. Joe

Me too. Well, actually a CZ-75 P01, but you get the idea.

Funny thing is, I recently became unemployed and am in the process of selling guns for butter. I think some S&W revolvers may have to go next.

I like my S&W double-action revolvers and 1911. I like my Ruger single-action revolvers. I like my Colt 1911s and revolvers. I like my FNH FNX-45. If I were limited to one handgun, it would be my Glock G20 SF 10mm with fifteen plus one capacity.

H&K MP7..... Hey, it's a pistol

 

[epj]

Either my 627 Pro (8 shot .357) or my 9mm 1911 (STI Trojan).
Depending on the actual circumstances of only having one handgun.

I don't know who made the rule that revolvers aren't pistols for they sure are pistols in my household. Colt seemed to think so too in bygone times.

Revolvers ARE pistols. In fact the term, pre-dates autoloaders (as your add indicates). So the question should be, are autoloaders pistols?

My 4 inch Model 25-5. Great revolver. Great cartrige.

 

[arjay]

I'll always have a 1911.

^^^Wow, that is a nice looking firearm. Did it come SS or did you have it done?

 

[Comrad]

If by pistol you mean hand gun, then model 65, 4 inch. And if you mean pistol I still will want my 6 shooter.

 

[MSG Glenn]

I'd choose the M&P 40. Probably the 40C but I haven't tested it yet as I'm still waiting for delivery.

I can see the 40C with mags that I have for the FS, a .357SIG barrel & a 9MM barrel with the proper mags. The same could be said about the FS 40.

 

[Starwalker]

If only could have one handgun I would choose my Colt Combat Commander in 45 acp. To me it is a good all-around handgun, but not the best at all things.

Second would be my S&W 686 revolver 4" in 357 mag., with a very close third being my Shield in 9mm.

Each of these handguns does some things very well, and other things not as well. That is why I own more then a few handguns. Have the proper handgun for the need.

 

[mg357]

S&W Model 686 4 inch barrel 6 shot cylinder, I can use it to hunt animals so I can feed my family also it can be concealed so I can defend myself or my family if we are attacked.

 

[Roger S&W]

And all CCW laws remained the same? Legally obligated to conceal the pistol with no printing?
No question. M&P9 Shield.

 

[ICD]

Off my personal exp. I would go ruger P95 or maybe DE 1911.

My p95 has been a champ the 5 years I've had her. Everything I've put down the barrel she spit out without a hiccup.

1911 - well it's a 1911 not much to explain here. Just my personal fave right now is the Deset Eagle.

May update this after I put some rounds through my shield.

 

[Old cop]

Most will think I'm nuts but mine would be my Colt Cobra. Good for home defense and easy to carry if need be.

 

[S&W45Colt]

And all CCW laws remained the same? Legally obligated to conceal the pistol with no printing?
No question. M&P9 Shield.

That's a Florida thing. It's not the rule in a lot of other States.

 

[SpringGunTunes]

.40 Shield.

 

[Bkreutz]

I couldn't make this decision, if I was forced to only have one I'm afraid I'd have to use it on myself.

(dark humor)

 

[Old 44 Guy]

I remember those days when I could only afford one pistol. It was a Ruger Standard model .22 for $37.50 new in 1954.
