Interesting, thought provoking thread. So...
Do I keep the FNH FNP-9 that I currently carry on duty?
Do I sport the hunting friendly 28-2 with 8 3/8" barrel and find a shoulder holster?
Maybe the Anaconda for sheer firepower and 6" isn't hard to carry around.
The Python for sheer elegance and, like the 28-2, is a great all-around wheel, with the benefit of being only 6".
The Sp101 in .327? Ammo isn't a question in this case, and with proper shot placement, would work on smaller deer and various other critters, in a pinch. Being stainless, and only 3", would be the easiest to care for of the wheels.
I'm honestly thinking it would be the SAR, imported by EAA, K2-45 I just bought, if it turns out to be reliable. 14rds of .45 ACP means self defense isn't a problem, fairly easy to work on and the round has proven itself a killer, man or beast.
So, if all goes well with the SAR, that's what I would choose. Hopefully, we can back up that one handgun with a long gun, in which case, the process gets even harder, lol.
