GP100, P345

Kaimen · September 22, 2013, 11:57 PM

HK uspc 45 and Ruger 4" security six

kawasakifreak77 · September 23, 2013, 02:37 AM

Funnily enough I only have two handguns!

My go-to handgun: S&W 686 4" pre-zit with hogue grips & meprolight sights.

My fighting handgun: west german Sig 220 with a few 10rd mags full of hot handloads.

I've always been a wheelgun guy by default & would choose any quality .357 if I could only have one. I finally came across the Sig & fell in love with it. First auto that fits my hand & I can hit with.

baddarryl · September 23, 2013, 07:50 PM

Glock 19 and Ruger GP100.

ejfalvo · September 23, 2013, 08:21 PM

My new Sig P227 and SW 625.

FM12 · September 24, 2013, 01:30 AM

Sig 229 in 40 S&W or S&W 686 in 357 Maggie.

1DrnkMxR · September 24, 2013, 08:05 AM

Glock 19 & Ruger SP101.

Kirby8604 · September 24, 2013, 09:48 PM

CZ 75B and Ruger SP101. Love steel firearms over polymer, but I don't carry as of yet. If I started to carry and found the 101 too heavy I would have to trade out the CZ for a small, light semi.

Sport45 · September 25, 2013, 06:53 AM

Either the LC9 and .45 Colt Redhawk or,
the S&W 36 and the Sig 226.

But that's only if one had to be an auto. If I didn't have to choose an auto I'd probably keep the two revolvers listed above.

Old 454 · September 25, 2013, 05:17 PM

if things got so bad that I could obly have two guns one revolver and one pistol

For a revolver would be my FA 83 454 casull. I can hunt with it if I need to put food on the table and I can down load 45 colts for self defense rounds.

For a pistol My EAA witness 10MM also can hunt with it and use for self defense.

JohnO · September 26, 2013, 09:37 AM

35 years after my first 2 handgun purchases, my choices would be the same. A 1911 chambered in 45 acp, along with my Colt Python, 38/357.

Thespis · September 27, 2013, 09:07 AM

Ruger Single Six in .22/.22Mag and Colt .45 Officer's model

coop2564 · September 27, 2013, 02:08 PM

Kimber stainless II 10mm 1911, Ruger blackhawk 45c.

PakWaan · September 27, 2013, 03:26 PM

HK45 and S&W 686

sheepman · September 27, 2013, 03:59 PM

Single six and Glock 21 Love my 22 and the G21 is a good all around hand gun

dayman · September 27, 2013, 04:29 PM

GP100, Glock 19.
And I'd weep every day over the loss of all the others.

peacefulgary · September 28, 2013, 02:15 PM

My Ruger GP100 and my Ruger LCP...

P-990 · September 28, 2013, 05:32 PM

4" S&W L-frame .357 (586) and a Glock 17 or 19 9mm. Done.

The really hard decision is picking which one to take to the range each time.

fiream29 · September 29, 2013, 04:13 AM

My first handgun, a .45 Colt/.45 acp Blackhawk and my second, Belgian Hi-Power.

goredsox · September 29, 2013, 07:33 PM

Beretta 92fs & Ruger GP100

FireForged · September 30, 2013, 06:18 PM

Man that is really really hard to narrow down but right off the top of my head I would say...

1. Colt Trooper

2. Browning Hi Power

tomrkba · September 30, 2013, 07:44 PM

This is a very difficult choice. Should I go for concealment or something that is easy to shoot?

I guess I'd end up choosing a custom S&W 629 with 4" barrel since I could shoot such a wide variety of loads with it. The Ruger GP100 and Ruger Alaskan are close seconds. I'd consider the Ruger Redhawk with 4" barrel as a possible substitute.

My favorite semi-auto pistol is the SIG P220, so I'd have to choose it.

I can always dress around the gun, but will never make a snubby or small semi-auto shoot better.

iblong · October 1, 2013, 11:36 AM

What a terrible thought.
Revolver would be my 586 no dash,Pistols would be a lot harder as I have many
I really like.Because I carry always my G19 or my CZPCR.reasonable size,weight
and capacity.If going to a single carry gun.

alfredr · October 2, 2013, 07:36 AM

Burying the rest in the yard counts as not having them, right?

In that case I only have a Heritage Rough Rider .22/.22 mag and a Bryco 9 mm.

armsmaster270 · October 2, 2013, 02:38 PM

Pistol Sig 226 with 357Sig,.40 and 9mm barrels.

Revolver my S&W 586 no dash Combat tuned by Bill Davis Co.
