True.
If we remove the SD carry pistol aspect, my 5 in Ruger SBH or 4 5/8 Lipsey 44 sp Blackhawk are well suited to nearly everything else.with a 45 ACP 1911 getting an honorable mention.

But,IMO,the most important role for a handgun (for myself) is SD, and a good all around compromise there is my Shield Plus.
