Default Just one gun

If you could only own one handgun, what would it be?

That’s like saying you only need one pair of shoes or boots! 😜

My choice as well, accurate, and cheap to shoot.

If money is not a limiting factor, the S&W Model 41 is hard to beat. I really enjoyed my Browning Buckmark and would not hesitate getting another. The Ruger is good too, but a little more finicky to break down.

Combine the only two I ever owned. a 1911 and an M9. Something with the slender frame and .45 ACP of the 1911 with the user friendliness and double action of the M9

I could do that...one gun though? Really?? There are at least 6 on my absolute must have list. Only one? Toss up between a Python, my 5" Model 27-2, and my 4" Model 657 (41 mag).

I’d probably keep my p220 in .45acp. Fortunately I’m not forced to make that choice yet.

Only have one so it would be the Berreta Neos. I have found it easy to break down and pretty accurate for an entry level .22. So far has handled any of the .22 rounds I have put it.

something in center fire caliber of your choice and a 22lr conversion kit... does that count as one?

Toss up between my Ruger mkII or my Browning Hi power mkIII. I guess the Ruger as it would be good for survival/small game/etc...
