You can keep only one

If the 'one' could be any handgun, I'd go for a S&W no 29. Dirty Harry's gun was probably the first handgun I ever really wanted. Don't have it yet but maybe soon. If I had to pick from current stock, it'd probably be the M&P40. Just my most reliable handgun right now.

Good choice and it sort of falls in line with my choice as/post #13. Except;), I went with the shorter Elmer Keith version:D.
 
If I could only have one it would have to be a Smith & Wesson 357 but I would have to think on which one long and hard. The caliber is not a hard choice but the gun would be.

Nothing but respect for a man who could make 500 yard revolver shots. Clint just came across better on the TV! :)

In the late 60's and very early 70's after first becoming 'interested' in handgun shooting,:) it wasn't long before I became a Keith fan. His experience and contributions to the shooting sports are many. Early on when I was first getting involved with specifically handguns and reloading, I sent him two letters of inquiry for help which he answered. As he was getting on, I thought it would be quite an experience to meet him and in the early 70's I did. I spent the day with him at his home in Salmon Idaho:D and my avatar is a photo I took of him, posing beside my truck, as I was preparing to leave. A year or two later, I met him again at a gun show in Kalispell Montana. Quite a man and those two meetings with him stand out as the high point of my years of hunting and shooting.

Oh, nothing shabby about Clint. He's a close 2nd favorite of mine.
 
I'd keep my first 1911. Its super reliable and I get my best results with it. So it would give me the best chance of taking out the mofo who took my other pistols and getting them back...
 
1911. For now my ARMCO tuned Norinco. Shoots like a house on fire. The finish is very good and I put walnut grips on it for a little class. I don't like the forward slide serrations and the sight rib is unnecessary, but you can't be too picky.
