NO...

Only one "hand" gun??? Make mine either a S&W or Ruger revolver...

Personally, a Mossberg 500 would be my choice of only one gun...

Nice to see so many 1911 diehards out there. I love my Wilson Combat Protector, but if I had to pick one gun, I pick a Glock. Probably the best size glock is the Compact frame, e.g., 19/23/32. Personally my carry is the Glock 27, but we're talking one pistol only, and the medium frame size is a good choice. I'd probably place my bet on a G23. Don't care what the 9mm crowd thinks, .40 or bigger is better.

For those of you who have never shot a Glock pistol, words will never convince you. The Glock is a shooter, not a looker. But if you like a gun that goes bang every time, is completely safe without a slew of external safeties, as reliable as a good revolver, and outlasts virtually every other gun on the market, you'll see the Glock is rather beautiful indeed.
 
Glock, Sig, HK, Ruger, Kahr - they all make great 9mm guns. I've owned Sig P220s, P226s, Kahr K9s, HKP7s, and shot Ruger P-series and what have I kept? The Glock 19 and the 30.

Gun: Colt M4 .223 w/ Wilcox Tactical vis/IR flashlight

Handgun: Glock 29 10mm w/ Pearce grip extender on the standard magazine (and a hi-cap G20 mag for backup)

If you must get a 1911, you can't go wrong with the Para Ordinance P14 (stuffed w/ 14 rnds of .45)...but I'll take the Tupperware in 10mm myself :)

Uhm no.

9 mm wouldn't make my top 5.

#1 ALL purpose gun.
My soon to be finished Steve Clark Custom 1911 .45 ACP with Wilson Adjustable Combat night sights built on a Rock River Arms slide and frame and all the other bells and whistles.
 
Pistol not revolver then yes G19 best UNIVERSAL combat pistol.
1. round availability
2.15+1
3.Rust resistant
4.Simplicity
5.Parts(minimium)
6.9mm easy round to control yet is in the league of the vaunted 125grn .357 manstopper round.(a lot of people are not as proficient as some of you).
7.Reliable out of box(even with JHP).
 
In a worst case senario and you could only have one gun to last you forever. the Glock 19 is the obvious winner. Any alloy framed handgun has a limited life span. So that rules out all Sigs, Berettas and most Smith $ Wesson semiautos. It would have to be a Glock or a 1911 and the Glock 19 is one tough hombre.

If I could only have one gun and it had to be a handgun, it would be the Glock 20. Wouldn't want to hunt small game with a 9mm.
