If you could only have one gun and one gun only for the rest of your life. What gun company would it be from, and add what model if you want.

I voted other because if I could have only one gun it would be an 870. You can do alot more with the shotgun.

If you narrowed it down to just handgun, then it would be a Sig or S&W.

I voted other for my CZ P-01, but then I thought about it some more and although I wouldn't mind only having the P-01 for life, I may one day want or have a reason for something capable of delivering a bullet with greater force as well as something that may be easier to maintain over a lifetime so I changed my mind.

For a one gun only for life deal I would choose a .357 mag. revolver, probably a S&W 686 with a 4" barrel as I believe that length would provide good balance between handling, shooting, and carrying. I could have the option to load up with either 38/357 and have a wider range of ammo to choose from.

I don't know much about revolvers, I have spent some time at the range with a S&W 686 rental and I think with enough practice, I can learn to shoot it well.

Sorry for throwing off your poll numbers, minus one for "other" and add one to S&W. :smt083

Kimber Pro CDP II with Crimson Trace Grips in .45 acp. - my Sig Sauer second.

But I'm not liking having only 1 gun :anim_lol:

:smt1099
what kind of sig sauer do you have?
I also have the kimber pro cdp II (but no laser grips) and I also have a sig sauer p229
just wondering if you also had the same sig sauer.. either way I'd say you have good tastes :smt023

1911

Several years ago I made a decision to have only 1 caliber handgun for packing. I was doing some "Gate" guard duty so I opted for the 1911. I also bought a Marlin "Camp" Gun in 45 ACP. I uses the same clips as the handguns and extends my range by a good 50 yds. I now have no trouble remembering where my ammo & clips are at.
Peaceful

I'm pretty new here, but I love it already. A forum where the users know their handguns! Another poll with the SIG's leading the pack. Man i love this place! You guys friggin ROCK! :smt1099

Ok so the one I'd take if forced with the decision to take only 1. It would have to be my SIG P229 Equinox. It's pretty, and dog gone tack driver. (for my style of shooting) I've never had a failure with it or any of my other SIG's for that matter. NOT 1! And I reload! Thats pretty darn good IMO, with several thousand rounds down each one of them. Well, maybe I'm just one heck of a reloader. HeHe Now thats for another thread.

that was a very tough choice
i took the survivialist route and would pick a 9mm - it's a compromise
if the SHTF there should be pleanty of ammo on the dead infiltrating armies as it is standard military round around the world
for reliabiliy i chose GLOCK but it was tough over the SIG and Berreta 92FS

forgetting the survivialist route - 45acp - hands down - 1911
