If You Could Own Only One Gun ?

I already posted one reply but after thinking it over I decided that, since life is short, it would have to be something I haven't already owned.

Which narrows it down a lot.
 
I'm not a Law Officer, I not wear a sports coat to work, so a snubbie .38 spl with 158gr hp swc +P allows me to "Conceal" & "Carry" ( both at the same time) ;)
 
The one I already have... ruger sp101 .357 3". She's a tank and can reliably, repeatedly be put on torso-sized targets at 100 yards.
 
Easy answer for me too, a 4" model 586. It is almost the same as a 686 but a 586 is what I have.

I agree wit several post a good revolver with 4" barrel .357 Magnum is the most versatile handgun.

Anibal.

It's funny, I hate stainless handguns but the 686 was my first revolver. I bought it from a friend years ago for $175 and I almost passed on it at that if you can believe it. Now it's hard to find a clean one for less than $350-400.

I didn't know at the time what classics the 586/686s were. Now I have several revolvers including a 27-2 and a couple 28-2s. Times do change and so do people, the next one on my list is a 29-2.
 
I already have my Armageddon gun - a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible with 4 5/8" barrel. It can shoot .38, .357 Magnum and 9mm so I think I'd be covered in the ammo department, should the need arise.
 
If I could only own one gun, you can bet it wouldn't have a stupid lock built into the frame of the gun.
 
Tough call between my 4" and 6" GP100s in 357Mag. I think the 6" has a little more reach and accuracy for hunting though.

Four-inch .357 Magnum L-frame S&W, the most versatile handgun on the planet.

686 Mountain Gun all the way!! My 625 is just too heavy and not as versitile, but still my favorite.
 
s&w bodyguard in steel frame. ultimate carry gun, steel frame reduces recoil. my airweight is the last gun i'd sell.
 
this type of decision forces one to prioritize ones uses for a gun as no one gun can truly perform all tasks. For me, defense would be the priority above all else. for that purpose I would pick either my s&w 19-3 2.5-inch nickel-plated .357, or my two-tone browning hi-power 9mm, original fn manufacture. Either would do just fine. I'd take one of these defensive guns and adapt it to all other gun uses as best I could, but a true defensive gun would be my choice without question.
 
Only one gun?

If only one gun were the case, I'd go with a Dan Wesson 715 .357 Magnum with 2.5", 4", and 6" barrels. 110gr. all the way up to 180gr.
