Nightcrawler: I was just funning you. No, to answer your question, if I could only own one handgun, it would be a Ruger Blackhawk convertible in .357/9mm. When I did only own one handgun, it was a .22, but given the choice now, it would be the .357. I do shoot my .22s a lot more than anything else in terms of rounds fired, but that is because I really enjoy shooting them. I take my centerfires out a lot more, but don't fire as many rounds. I am fortunate that I live in a semi-rural area and shoot several times a week. I often take out my center fire rifles and shoot 20 rounds on paper and call it a day. When I take out my .22s, I shoot 300-500 rounds in a typical day. I think the .357 is the most versitile handgun out there. Personally, I am far more interested in the sporting aspects of gun ownership than I am in the defensive or armchair commando aspects. But, the .357 fits both sporting and defensive purposes better than anything I know of. I make that statement after owning several hundred different guns and loading perhaps thirty different cartridges.
