One gun to rule them all

[frenchman]

If you could have only one gun, and this gun would be your rangegun, EDC, your HD, and SHTF weapon, what features would it have to offer, and why? Here's my list:


- Polyframe less weight, and no rust issues.
- 4 inch (or close) barrel for a reasonable accuracy and pressure build.
- caliber of 9mm or greater for the oomph
- minimum of 12 round capacity. The more, the better.
- SA/DA. Because I like it
- external safety, for those 'extra safe" moments. It's better to have it and not need it, well, you know the rest.

I found a SIG 2022 in May last year. I liked the M&P, the XD and the Ruger P95 also, but MY gun has everything I want for myself.
What about you?

I'm happy with my current EDC: G30SF/36 Hybrid w/ G21 mag w/+2 base plate

Springfield XDm 9mm, 4.5". You have a lightweight and durable handgun, 19+1 of 9mm ready to go, a long barrel for accurate shots, and a simple design for easy takedown and cleaning. I don't own one yet but this will be my new HD handgun. If I had to pick a gun I already own it'd be the Glock 19. Same info as above but a 4" barrel and 15+1.

XDm 3.8" in .45, light weight, expandable to be high cap.

AK47. Full Auto. 75 round drum.

If it's my only gun, I can deal with a metal frame...

And if it's .45acp, you only need 9...

I generally dont limit myself to one in regards to many things

women
beer
shots
ammo


so why do it with guns

 

[Northeastamstaffs]

My would be my Sig 226, I love this pistol. Once you shoot a Sig you never go back

 

[SSW]

I'm choosing my SW M&P. It all adds up for me weight, reliability, durability and ergonomics.

 

[gearjunky13]

Well played

 

[jasons]

In a perfect world with no stupid anti-Constitutional laws or meddlesome moonbats, an M-16.

Glock fotay.

 

[Zappa]

If you can only have one, it may as well be a really nice one.

 

[fubar]

M4 or m16A3. Semi auto only if I have to be serious and legal.
I know you're talking handguns but if I only get one I want a rifle.

I carry a commander sized Smith & Wesson 1911. I know there's better guns in many ways, but not in aesthetics and subjective coolness.

Ed Brown CUSTOM 1911

 

[Dench]

Pistol: Glock 31
Rifle: M16A4

 

[Reptile]

Glock 19

 

[jasons]

Pistol: Glock 31
Rifle: M16A4

That's two. Come on man, this is serious.

Any Glock. Why? Because it can also be an IED if you get in over your head! Do I win?

 

[jron]

looking for a pistol or a riffle? I mean you cant go wrong with the choices above. I personally own and really like the comfort and ergonomics of the M&P line. Glocks are a great option but a little more pricier and like I said I preferrer the M&p's features and the fact its locally made, just my opinion. As far as a riffle goes I my self am on a limited budget and last week got an sks. Great rugged reliable semi automatic gun for around $400-$500 depending on model/condition. I am very very pleased with my sks purchase!

Good luck with your search

 

[ShaunSweeney]

I have come to the realization that my 1911 is all I will ever need in a "battle" pistol. That is why I am selling my G17. However, carry pistols are nothing like "battle" pistols. For carry, my LC9 fits the bill just fine.

Dr Who rules!

One gun? Seriously? No.

I dont think i could live with only one gun
