Let's pretend that..

the laws dictate (God forbid) that you can only have one handgun, a revolver.

Two ways to go:
1. You may reload for it and all components are available.
2. You may NOT reload for it but ammo is available.

What would you have?

Me, #1 - a S&W model 29/629. You can load it for mouse to bear.
#2- a S&W model 19/66.

 

[old bear]

For me:
#1- model 586/581.
#2- model 19/66.

This one is fairly easy for me as it's a truth I'm being reminded of by my last two trips to the range.

The gun I shoot and handle the best is my custom built, blue steel Mountain Gun in 45 ACP. If I didn't (or couldn't) have it then I would pick the 625 (stainless) MG in the came chambering.

If I could only have one revolver for any reason, I'd go with my 586.

 

[mike from st pete]

Model 681.

 

[mg357]

S&W Model 60-15 .357 magnum with a 3 inch barrel.

Allowed only one?

The Caliber would be .44 Special.
There are now great factory loads for it Buffalo Bore makes one as does Double Tap, & others.

I know this is the S&W forum so don't shoot me or ban me till you've read my post completely!!!!!

This is my only gun so it'll be a doozy!!!!!

The gun? a Colt Single Action Army. The Colt SAA in .44 Special is fully capable of handling the mid. .44 Special loads.

It'll be a 4-3/4" bbl, Ivory stocked one piece with a steers head on the off grip pannel as Elmer Keith had. It's going to be Color case hardened & fully engraved from the Colt Custom Shop. I'd want it from the Colt Custom Shop because I'd like it to be All Colt & because Colt is doing an exellent job with their current 3rd generation guns.

I know this is a S&W forum & I'm going to disobey the powers in power & have a S&W 329PD also. It'll be a great packing six-gun & it'll see mostly mid .44 Specials, but in Grizzly country, it'll be VERY comforting.
I just won't tell the big 0 that I have two!!!!!
Come to think of it, I just might hide a good old S&W J frame too! They are just too useful to be without.

OK I know that's not just one, but I'll bet I wouldn't be the only one to disobey the big 0!!!!!

 

[pete950]

3 inch model 65 or a 3inch 13

 

[Arik]

For either scenario:

S&W 686+ 4 inch barrel Mountain Gun with tapered barrel, round butt and 7 shot cylinder.

 

[DR505]

#1: My 657-2 6½" .41 Magnum
#2: My 629-4 4" .44 Magnum

Or perhaps,
#1: My 629-4 4" .44 Magnum
#2: My 627-0 5½" .357 Magnum

Or maybe....

My #1 Model 58 Armaloyed, nite sights 41 Mag

[Bill Bates]

with out a second thought...

1: a Model 21.44 Spl.

2: a K22 Masterpiece.

 

[batmann]

I'll play. My choice is an easy one, my 629 Mountain Gun. IF NO ammo for a .44 then I would have to go with my Ruger 50th Flattop in .357.
To me, both are great guns and I hope I never have to make the choice.

 

[mtelkhntr]

Reading the OP, these are the two that came to mind first

1. 686 4"
2. 617 6"

I'd be fine with either or

 

[qrachel]

One? Really, Just One?

1. 686+ 4" 357/38, PC

2. 67 4" 38spcl, PC

But I'd also consider a 629 5" 44M/44S PC to replace #1 and a 617 ten shot PC to replace #2. And then . . . oh, I remember now why I almost didn't respond to this thread (1; really, you mean 1 as in not 2 or more - wow, that's just plain awful!)

Take care, (chuckle, never gonna happen, 1? Nope, 2 or 37 maybe but never 1?)

[tgmr05]

Either a 629 mountain gun or a 625 mountain gun in 45 colt

 

[skeeter7]

I'll vote for my 610 in both categories. I can load 10mm on the cheap and if I didn't reload I can shoot 40S&W as well.

 

[trashy]

#1 - 66-4 4"
#2 - 66-1 4"
#3 - 19-4 4"

Last resort would be either my 642 or 617 4", lot depends on the situation at the time.
