The perfect handgun.

Back in the day my 65-2 was what I thought to be the perfect LE handgun and except for the the fact that they don't make one with a 15 round cylinder, I still think it ranks as the best revolver. My entry for the best snubby is a M64-4 with a factory bobbed hammer. I wish they would come out with an new alloy frame M12 that was +P rated. That would be my ideal revolver!
 
Glock 17 and Smith Model 19

Wheel gun wins out over bottom feeder if it has to be just one.

After 20 years of seeing this question asked this is
the best I could narrow it down.

Don't think that there is such a thing as a Perfect Gun ,,

I carry a Beretta PX-4 Sub Compact and its the most comfortable
of the carry pistols I have .. My S&W Compact is a close 2nd with my Sig Legion 3rd presently !!

The Beretta just melts away in a Garett Industries IWB holster .. and really forget I am wearing it at times .. I don't fiddle with it or rest my arm on it or hike my pants up every few minutes ..

2 officers taking prints at a class I was at didn't make me carrying .. The lady Leo had the same Beretta on lay-a-way and we had a nice talk about it ..
 
The M&P 40 1.0 compact. It's my EDC and nightstand gun. Eleven rounds of .40 cal. strikes a balance between a round with decent hitting power and good magazine capacity. It's very accurate out to 20 yards, it will shoot any ammo I feed it, it's pocket carryable, and it's been extremely reliable over the 12,500 rounds I've put through it. I've looked at other guns for a possible replacement, but haven't found one yet that I like as much. The best potential contender seems to be the M&P 3.6" 40c 2.0, but so far I haven't found one to try, and I hate to buy a pistol I haven't shot.
 
considering quality,value,capacity,durability,function,availability and general all around good gun,it's hard to beat a cz 75/85
 
auto - my 1911's both with Crimson Trace laser grips for home defense fighting gun. They are just a lot of fun to shoot.

revolver - my scoped 629 8 3/8" for handgun hunting whitetail.

At first I started to think my model 58 , 41 mag . But then after reading his question carefully I realized my K frame was a better fit for his question . So , I would have to say my model 19 , 4" barrel . It carries plenty of power , is lightweight , very accurate . I have a shoulder holster rig for mine so it conceals real well . After that , either my 58 (41mag) or my model 25-5 , 4"(45 Colt) . I also have shoulder holster rigs for them as well , but they are a bit heavier . But NO " wonder nines " for me . Everytime I have shot one , I lay it down thinking " what a piece of **** , give me my revolver " . Regards, Paul
