Mine would be a Ruger SP 101 357 MAG 4 in barrel, stainless. Went with a revolver because this would be the only gun I could have. The SP is still concealable with a five shot capacity. Double action so a speed loader or strip for quick reload is an option.
I think there is only one answer here man for handguns at least.
If only for the reason of spare parts and accessories being everywhere should SHTF. I don't know if it would be 9 or 40 but I don't even need to say what brand im talking about.

taking your line of thought it would HAVE to be a 9mm - lots of ammo around in that cal. A LOT more than 40! almost all armies of the world use 9mm and most police departments
Back when I had only one gun it was a Remington 870 20 Ga pump shotgun, the youth deer model with 18 inch rifled barrel and real sights. I added a magazine extender so it can hold six 3 inch shells plus one in the chamber. Obviously this was not for concealed carry. But for general purpose home defense it was just about right, IMO. The 20 Ga youth-model decision was a tradeoff to make it more user-friendly for the wife ... just in case. Ammo, parts, and accessories are much more plentiful in 12 Ga.
The buckmark is a great gun but I have to go with the old settlers of the day and there choice was a shotgun. Basically a shot gun can do almost anything
As you are aware, this is an Extremely difficult question; but, since you ask, my choice is a Ruger Security Six with a 6" barrel. The gun is solid, dependable, accurate and a joy to shot.
If Obama and the Wicked Witch of the West get their way, that may be the best any of us can have: a 1911 with a 7 round magazine...registered of course, for convenience at confiscation time.
Pistol: 1911 because I have been shooting it the longest.
Rifle: 243 bolt gun because you can shoot anything from varmint to white tale with it. (Mine is a Winchester Model 70)
Glock 23 .40S&W. I have a LW 40-9mm conversion barrel and a Ciener .22LR kit for the 23 and if I could only own one handgun it would be my 23.
