Every handgun I own is a S&W product.

J frame, m&p9c, m&p9pro, 5096.
And then there are folks like me. 6 of my 7 handguns are different brands and 4 of my 5 long guns are different brands.

"1911" is not a manufacturer. There must be fifty companies making 1911s today, including several on your list.
Exactly, those votes get voided.

Mine is not on your list. You do realize there are revolvers right? Just kidding. While I love my Colt Pythons if I could only have one handgun it would be either my 4" S&W 686-1 357 Magnum or my 5 1/2" Ruger Vaquero in 44 Magnum. Both are capable of taking whitetail deer as well as protecting me and mine. By handloading very light loads small game is also a possibility. Another advantage is both can use 2 calibers (Special and Magnum loads).

Although I believe that the OP's original post was still not specific enough, and the list was not complete enough on the poll, I still believe that the thread should not be voided. The reason for this is because we all ask incomplete questions, and sometimes good info can still come about through these post.

I don't own one, but I have shot plenty of them. I enjoyed them alot. I would choose Glock.
And because the original post and poll was not specific enough, I decided to give my vote, and a vague one at that.

One for the rest of my life, huh? I guess I'd take a Sig P320. That'd give me some options to play with.

The phrasing is confusing - in one point the OP asks us to pick one gun, but the question in the poll is to pick one manufacturer.

I answered it as a manufacturer and went with Beretta because they make a pretty good variety of calibers and sizes, in both metal and polymer. And I like 'em.

Don't know what it is about Sigs, I just love 'em. They are fantastic guns.

Honorable mention to Glock, Springfield, and HK

I own most of the weapons mentioned, and the 1 gun little safe by my head, bolted to my bed, contains a Sig 229 Elite.

The one choice for a single auto, it would be a S&W 659/5906. The second and third generation pistols are superb.

On their heels is the Ruger Mark II .22LR stainless steel pistol in just about any configuration.



The S&W 5906 (top) and 659 are both outstanding pistols.




The Ruger Mark II is an outstanding survival pistol.
