If you could only have one handgun...

[Max Power]

Glock 21

That would work for me...With spare parts, mine is able to digest .40, 10mm, and .22 as well. Versatility that might be important in a SHTF scenario....I just have to find a way to shoot 9mm out of it and I'll be set.

I"ll give a big cry out there for the sig p220.

Lots of stopping power if needed and can go thousands of rounds between cleaning.

A Glock 22 would be my next choice. Lots of spare parts and ammo driving around in cars with lights on top.

I'd flip a coin over a GLOCK 17 or a Sig226.

YEAH BABY, THAT'S THE ONE FOR ME

...I'm sure that 1911 aficionados will be outraged by my opinion, but a 1911 is nowhere near as reliable as a modern striker-fired polymer pistol. Hence my first choice being a Glock G17...

You, Sir are a heretic and will surely burn for daring to utter such blasphemy - the ghost of John Moses Browning will rise up and strike you down...

1911's will be around when all the new-fangled stuff has been melted down to make more 2 liter drink bottles!!!

My gun in Iraq is a 1943 Ithaca framed 1911...

Any well made Series 70 1911 style .45

 

[ishut1911]

i would still go for my 1911 .45

If I could I think I would take a S&W Model 19. But since I can't own a 4" brl I will have to choose my 1911 commander in 38 super with the 9mm backup barrel. The model 19 is easy to shoot super reliable, not to hard to conceal and the 158jsp loaded hot makes yogi very very unhappy.

 

[surfwaxcdn]

Sig P226 for me. Oh in 9mm.

 

[Huntsman]

1911 in 9mm or a BHP
