My turn. Re the criteria if allowed only 1 handgun:
woods carry protection? perhaps
hunting? perhaps
concealed carry? yes, though not a high priority
competition? no
range fun? range practice
home defense? yes
Would your choice be influenced by:
Where you live? don't think so
Where you work? nope
Where you camp? nope
Where you hunt? nope
Where your travels take you? nope
What competition you enjoy? not that either
Caliber? 10mm
Ammo cost? don't care
If I had only one, I would optimize for HD and SD and go to the range only to become more proficient. I doubt I'd ever carry it unless there were some change in my public safety concerns versus today.
For this, maximum round effectiveness, and maximum round count would be the highest priorities and tradeoffs. I wouldn't be shooting it enough that ammo cost would factor in to my answer.
Answer for me would be a Glock 20.
