Any gun that works

Pre Mdl 29

 

[jrod]

A model 681 or 4" model 57.

 

[Belgium1961]

Model 10, I have one from 1967, best handgun I own

 

[Dano]

Model 66 3"

I have a 3" 66-2, 1985 model, one of 4195 and love it but if I could only have 1, period, it'd b my 60-14 2inches of magnum power that you can pocket carry,
DA/SA and with laser grips at true gun fight ranges, you can't beat it IMHO.

At 24.5 oz loaded with 125gr Hornady Critical Defense ammo it's just heavy enough for the recoil to be manageable in my old arthritic hand too.

Either a 4" 686 no lock or the 686 Mountain Gun.

DC Metro, 1969. I started my LEO career as a DC Police Officer and my
issue weapon was a 67 Model 10 4" barrel. I'd love to have another just to
mount on my LEO career wall.

[S-W4EVER]

4" Model 19 Combat Magnum.

My Combat Magnum 4” sure isn’t going anywhere. What a beautiful revolver.

29-5 DX

 

[lppd4]

Any gun, I'll go with my highly customized Springfield Armory 1911 in .45ACP. served me well on my hip as a duty sidearm for many years also used it in various competitions throughout the the years including USPSA, IDPA and a couple of others.
If limited to revolvers, as much as I love my 27-2 5", I would probably have to go with my 4" 686 no dash with an M stamp, finish is more durable, a little lighter and more robust than a K frame.
Hope I never have to choose just one

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!

Model 66, 4”

 

[Islander]

My 686+ with five in barrel. Does most anything I would need a gun for well.
