1) S&W 686 -.357, your choice of barrel length.
2) S&W J-Frame - .38/.357, Airlite, your choice of style, good pocket gun for concealed carry!.
3) 1911 style - .45 ACP, The standard that all handguns measure up to. I have 2 Colt Gold cups and a SIG GSR;the GSR is better in my opinion.
4) Sig 229 - .40/.357 SIG/9mm, one gun can fire all three cartridges with the proper barrels. This is an excellent concealed carry/personal defense choice.
5) Ruger MKII - .22 LR, the gun that put Ruger on the map. Everyone needs a .22 LR or they don't know what they're missing.
6) S&W 629 - .44 mag, the original big-bore handgun.
You must seriously consider the SIG SAUER 226 or 229 in .40 S&W or .357 SIG. These guns have interchangeable barrels and can shoot both cartridges using the same magazines. Bar-Sto Barrels also makes a conversion barrel for these two firearms that will allow them to shoot 9mm using the same magazines. If you go this route you get 3 guns in 1!.

if you plan on reloading, i'd consider more along lines of revolvers. but if you dont really care about hunting brass or any of that then this would be the list:
glock 17 or S&W 5906
1911 of some sort (rock island if your on a budget)
ruger mkII or 22/45 or some 22 pistol
357 i like ruger gp 100's, but pick your flavor. i'd say 4in is the most versitale
because your limited you might want to consider multi cal guns like the taurus triad shoots 9mm 357 and 38, so you could get a broader caliber range with less guns. just a thought. you could also get the same thing from an old ruger with 2 cylinders.
you said carry wasnt a big concern of you, but if hunting is, have you considered an thompson encore or contender? you could probably just register the frame as 1 gun, but get as many barrels as you want, so you could really get to having a bunch of calibers if you wanted to go that road.
just some thoughts hope this helps!

If it were me...
Ruger Security Six Stainless, 4 inch barrel
S&W 686 full underlug 4 or 6 inch barrel
Keltec P3AT
Glock 23
Glock 20
1911 Government model from a high quality manufacturer.
These would be my pick. I don't need a 44 magnum. I own the Security Six, will own the G23 very soon and plan on picking the rest up within the next 3-4 years...

Hunting with handguns is illegal here, but this got me thinking...is it possible to get a longer barrel for it - carbine/rifle-length? With a stock attached it would probably qualify as a rifle. Do they make them in .308, .30-06 or something similar in power?trickasafox said:

I see you're getting a large number of responses. This is good (can be overwhelming, though). It sounds like to me the need is to cover as many diffrent situations as you can with a limited number of guns. I would suggest as wide a variety as possible.
1. Ruger MkII .22 lr. Everyone needs a .22 pistol. It may as well be an automatic because you won't be chasing brass to reload any way.
2. S&W 686 or Ruger SP101 in .357 mag. A good medium bore revolver is very versitile. Purely for the sake of variety, I'd go with the S&W.
3. 1911 in.45 ACP. There are some things that just require a large bore semi-auto. I personally think this is the best design of large bore semi-auto. There are a number of good manufacturers out there and any could do the job.
4. Glock high capacity 9mm. I don't even know the model number, I'm not a Glock person. They're good guns and, once again for variety, a Glock is very different than the 1911. Everybody could use a large capacity semi-auto.
5. Thompson Center Contender in 30-30. Very different from the others, it is a fantastic shooter over amazingly long ranges, especially when used with a scope.
6. Colt/clone SAA (Peacemaker) in .45 Colt. This is probably my favorite to shoot. The others have a practical place and are fun also, but there's nothing that feels better in your hand than that (gunwise, I mean).
There is one other that I would suggest as a possible alternative to any of the above, if any one of those does not suit your fancy. A S&W model 29 in .44 mag. Again a handgun with a lot of versatility. If this were one of my choices, I'd pick the SP101 over the 686 to avoid S&W duplication.
With the above spectrum of handguns, you should be able to participate in every kind of shooting activity that is availible. There is no duplication of caliber nor design.
But you know, a large part of the fun you are about to experience is the chance to take someone's advise (or not) and make your own choice. "Whatever floats YOUR boat."
Have fun.

yes you can get thompson encore and contender in rifle lengths. up to 26 inches with an assortment of stocks!
www.tcarms.com
they can also be shotguns and muzzleloaders too. mine is a 15in 223 single shot pistol and a 50 cal 24in muzzle loader when i switch out barrel and stock

ONLY Six???
Only six, that's kind of arbitrary isn't it?
I guess If I was limited to JUST six handguns they would be as follows
Brace of Glock 22s
Brace of Glock 23s
Brace of Glock 27s
Is that six?

Personally, if I had to full every role that could be filled with a handgun with six handguns, I could manage, but I wouldn't be happy.
Right now, I'd pick a Glock 29 or 30 for CCW
A Glock 20 for bedstand and vehicle and for backpacking protection as a light trail gun
And personally would opt for a Mk XIX Desert Eagle in .44 Mag with a 6 inch barrel and a red dot sight and a 10 inch .50 AE barrel with a 2x Leupold for designated handgun hunting.
I would probably also get a Ruger Mk II or Browning Buckmark for small game plinking and practice.
That leaves two for personal preference. I would probably go with a Springfield Armory TRP Operator and a SIG P226 or 228.
In your case, you don't need the CCW gun unless you plan to carry illegally at your own risk so you can substitute that for something else. A 4 inch .357 from your preferred make and model would be fun and useful. The Desert Eagles can still be justified as fun plinkers and competition peices. They are big but they are also reliable and extremely accurate. You could get the same effect from a large framed revolver in your choice of manufactures--say a 6 inch .44 and a .500, both from Smith and Wesson. If your .357 is also from S&W, this gives you three revolvers with similar characteristics and will allow you to become pretty profecient with the them. You could do the same thing with Ruger as well. With the Glock 20 you can get barrels in .45 ACP, .40 Smith and Wesson, and .357 SIG as desired, and the 10mm is also extremely versitile, though not as easy to find as it should be. I'd keep the Glock 20 in serious consideration if I were you. The .22 pistol is still a must, though if you opt for 3 revolvers with similar handling characteristics and controls, you might be better off to opt for a .22 revolver from the same manufacture. And again, you still have several options left for personal preference. A 9mm is fun an econimical and can be used for self defense as well. The SIG 226 and Browning Hi Power are both classics. And I am not a huge fan of the 1911, but I personally couldn't consider my collection complete without one, so I would still save room for a fullsize Springfield Armory or Kimber. Going this route would mean you end up with 4 revolvers--a .22 LR, a .357 Mag, a .44 Mag, and some earsplitten loudenboomer of your choice--all with similar controls and handling characteristics, and your choice of two of four autos--a Glock 20 10mm, a SIG 226 or BHP 9mm, or a 1911 Gov Model. Or you could eliminate the last revolver and get three autos. The .357 Mag and .44 Mag can take .38 Specials and .44 Specials, respectively so they are very practical and versitile. This means you could end up with 6 handguns being able to shoot eight or nine different cartridges and able to handle anything from mice to moose as opprotunities are presented. It might suck not being able to buy whatever else you want until you move to the states but you can certainly manage with such a well rounded collection.

MTMilitiaman: Hunting with handguns is illegal here in most cases (you are allowed to use them if you are hunting badgers and foxes and similar critters that dwell underground, since they actually had a stroke of genius: Rifles are hard to wield in a tiny tunnel. I think it has to be a revolver or singleshot pistol though.)
Oh, and I can get more than six guns, but most PD's are probably unwilling to grant that many licenses...
Oh, and I can get more than six guns, but most PD's are probably unwilling to grant that many licenses...
it seems a lot of people are postingwithout reading your responses, but I hope i have read them all and come up with this answer. Instead of trying to plan all six at once, how about trying it like this. are you still in the armed forces? Do you have access to military training ammo? I remember my cousins being given a certain amount of ammo periodically for mandatory practice.
First choice, then would be good .22. either a Beretta 87 or a target model of the ruger or buckmark if they are available or a Mod 41 S&W. Learn to shoot that gun till you shoot it well and you decided what you like. I would also add a good quality .22 revolver at this time. A model 17 Smith and Wesson or a Colt Diamond back. I would lean to either a 4 inch or 6 inch barrel as those would be the most comfortable to shoot from a balance point. Or perhaps a .22 single six? looks like a cowboy gun.
decide which platform you like best, perhaps selling off the one you do not like and then move up the scale. next would be a 9mm or a 357 pistol depending on if your taste runs to auto or revolver. I have no knowledge of this, but 9MM ammo is usually the cheapest you can find, making it more fun to shoot all you can. .357 gives you the choice of heavy magnum loads and light 38 special target loads, and also tend to be affordable. Here perhaps a Dan Wesson pistol pak would be a boon, this is one frame with several barrels that screw on and off. Accurate and well made, these have only one serial number for all the parts, so that argueing with the local approval agency should be easier that you are buying one GUN and lots of accessories,
Then decide what you want from there.
Are you only allowed to shoot on a designated range or can you find a place inthe woods and just play?
for playing I like a hi capacity Nine and a 45 colt SAA or a clone, just lots of fun.
have fun, be safe

Hmmmmmm...you can't hunt with them...and you can't carry them in your car. So what do you NEED six handguns for?
This is a WANT thing. So figure out which six guns you would ENJOY the most, and get those. People have given you a good starting point- 1911's, Ruger or Browning .22 semi-autos, big-bore revolvers, etc.
But if you are primarily limited to home defense and target shooting, it may make sense to only buy 2 or 3 high quality pistols-
Maybe a custom 1911, some type of 9mm (cheap to shoot) and a good .22 target pistol. You might consider a Colt SAA or clone and take up cowboy action shooting. That could give you a reason to get around the six guns rule later.
Good luck, and have fun.

I'm afraid the answer is no, so I don't have access to that. I plan contacting them and get to try out again for service.pete f said:
I think that I can shoot just about everywhere, but I'll have to check about that. I know the almost perfect spot though, ideally it should be a little further away from everything, but the setting is perfect.
I don't need any, I just want to have them. I'm not allowed to carry now, nor hunt, but situations when those laws are not enforced could come.cookekdjr said:

I should get as many as I can, before they enact more silly restrictions.P. Plainsman

I don't have a broad exposure to handguns as most, but I have these. NOTE-Nothing with a little key
S&W Model 41- I can shoot all week on a budget, it's very accurate with ammunition it likes. (Shot a Ruger .22 recently, it was also superb, but I love the design and ergonomics of the 41).
S&W 442- serves a limited but specific purpose. I wouldn't want a scandium/ titanium etc. frame and I sure as hell wouldn't want one that size in .357.
Ruger GP100- who says AC/DC isn't ok? I can reload some hot loads I too hot for the 442 or step up to .357. I always wanted a Smith .41 mag (oddball calibers attract me) & I shot a 44 mag- factory wood grips, & while thrilling, once was enough (Hogues probably would have increased the enjoyment). A Smith 686 is a more refined revolver, and you can get it tuned to a finer pitch, but if I could shoot a revolver any better than I can the GP100 I couldn't stand it!
Browning Hi Power 9mm- you can't be European without a 9mm. You could get it in .40 S&W, but what's the point (unless you are competing in something requiring a bigger power factor.) I just bought my 2nd after selling one years ago as a poor student. I can't imagine why I let 30 years go by. It's the one that "sings" to me. Couldn't fault you if you chose a Beretta 92. 500 years and you learn how to crank out a pretty decent pistol.
Glock 20- I told you I liked oddball calibers. Word is 10mm is on the decline. Couldn't care less, since so many people have adopted the 40 S&W that I'll always be able to find components to reload. It is also the reason I took up reloading, so I could afford to feed it!
Sig P220 in stainless- my other big auto. If the Glock is my Chevy the Sig is the Caddy in my 6. There are a lot of fine 1911s out there, and you can trick 'em out to infinity, but I've never been fond of grip safetys and beavertails. Just like eggplant (aubergines). Nothing wrong with 'em, just don't like 'em. On a budget, if forced, I would consider the Springfield GI. For 375.00 or so, it's a good value. Would have to change the sights- too small for my old eyes.
Well, there's my 2 öre.

1. .22lr semi auto target grade
2. .357 magnum revolver with 4- to 6-inch barrel
3. 9mm semi auto
4. 44 magnum single-action revolver with 4- to 5.5-inch barrel
5. 45 acp 19ll pattern semi auto
6. thompson center contender
If things are similar in Sweden to things here in the U.S., you can buy as many T/C barrels as you like, and can buy a marvel unit or other .22lr conversion for the 1911. If your 9mm is a Glock, CZ or Hi-Power, you can get quality 22lr convesions for those also. A dan wesson .357 revolver will allow you to have multiple barrel length and barrel shrouds set up with different sighting arrangements as would a dan wesson revolver in 44 mag or 445 super mag. with only six guns to buy, these types of things would be affordable and would be very useful ways to expand your arsenal and make your existing firearms work for various types of hunting and competitive shooting. You can have a pretty darn complete aresenl with the right six guns and accessories.

I'd try to find one of these for national heritage sake, providing I could find ammo to shoot the darned thing (and maybe parts for some of them)
http://www.poisontooth.com/~dutchman/eldhandvapen.html
1st... From that group, Probably the 1907 Browning clone, or a Lahti (national history & pride doncha know?)
2nd... Some type of Cowboy gun... Colt, US Firearm or more than likely a Ruger (in a caliber easily purchased over there)
3rd... A .22 lr for cheap plinking or competition
4th... A Browning Hi-Power
5th... SIG/Glock/HK/Beretta something or other
Last... a BIG BOOMER like an older blued S&W 29 in .44 magnum and set up for reloading
But that's just me. Since I could only have the six, I'd want as high a quality set as I could afford to collect, knowing that I'd be shooting at least five of them on a regular basis.
