If You Could Only Own One Smith & Wesson… What Would It Be?

[TJm15.38]

I guess it will always be the 15-4 for me.

If you could choose just one Smith & Wesson firearm to own—whether for personal defense, fun at the range, or collecting—what would it be and why?

Would you pick a classic like the Model 29, a reliable Shield Plus, or something unique?

I’d love to hear what the community values most, as this could influence an upcoming giveaway contest!

What's your must-have Smith & Wesson?

Model 58

 

[oldman10mm]

4" 686 ( 357M / 38sp) or 4" 610 (10mm / 40S&W). Either one could shoot full power loads or low stuff.

Oops, didn’t see it pertained to only S&W. My apologies.

No apologies needed but tell us which S&W would you like to have or keep?
I guess , for me, it would be a 6 inch model 586 no dash ( I would accept an M marked one). I always wished they made a target hammer for the L frames, but I have never seen one.

 

[Lonegle57]

Have been a handgun hunter for a long time in the south. If only one would be my PC 657, 6 inch flat
side barrel with integral scope base. Right behind it would be a 57 8&3/8 inch gun.

For me it is an M&P-15, Sport II for fun and M&P 9mm EZ for EDC.

What's your must-have Smith & Wesson?

Well if only one and food gets low I would want a 6 or 8 inch .357 in N or L or K frame. If times are bad and dangerous I would want a 21/2 or 4 inch K or L frame. The long barrels for hunting and the short barrels for personal protection. Now I’m too old to hunt so I guess I would choose a 41/4 inch 66-8 which I already own as well as all of the above barrels mentioned. Thanks for reading.

It would be hard to choose.

If I was being practical, my first 4.6" M&P10MM that I've shot a fair amount and carried a lot.

If I was to keep a hunting gun it would by the M&P R8.

If I wanted to keep my nicest looking older gun it would be my 48-4.

My Performance Center Shield four inch non-ported barrel 45 acp

 

[chemcal]

I've kept two; a 15-2 and a 1950 k22. Both are excellent shooters. Hmmmm

 

[javbike]

I would say my model 17 and the model 29 I am ready to close the deal on soon

 

[senecaap]

4” 24. The .44 Special does all I need a pistol to do. Target shooting, self defense, bear defense….perfection!

 

[silicosys4]

1956 5 screw pre 29.
Has the benefit of being both very versatile and also very collectible

First year model 29

 

[John Tucker]

Well, I have only one SW Revolver. It is a 28-2 .357 Mag. I carry it in a LH chest holster for hunting and any other time I need it I have a belt holster. I Have shot it enough, and adjusted the sights for 50 yards, that it very comfortable to handle and shoot.

Shorty 9.....gone and sorely missed.
