Six handguns only - What would YOU pick?

[kbellis3]

If I was limited to only six handguns this would be my set-up. Your rules are different and you list should reflect your environment.


1. Glock 17 (can be fitted with .22 conversion kit)

2. Glock 26(Bug for the G-17, accepts G-17 mags)

3. 1911-A1 (can be fitted with .22 conversion kit)

4. 1911 Commander or Officer (BUG for the 1911-A, can accept full sized 1911 mags)

5. .357 Magnum Revolver (4-6inch barrel 4 being preffered can be used for some hunting, can also be loaded with .38 specials.)

6. .357 Magnum Snubby (BUG for the .357 can be loaded with .38 Specials)

If you need a .22 get a conversion kit for the Glock or the 1911-A1. This should cover all of your basic needs for firearms. Plenty of spare parts, mags, speed loaders, and ammo.

I've changed my mind...

1. Ruger GP100, 4", Stainless Steel, hogue grips, .357 magnum

In my book, the most durable and reliable .357 magnum revolver on the market. It is also an excellent shooter. This would be the gun that I'd choose if I could only have one gun.

2. Sig p250, Two-toned

Still not released, but seems like a truly *revolutionary* gun. From what I've read on the Sig Forum, this gun really looks like the "future" in handgun design. Think of it: one modular gun that can have up to nine different grips and two triggers. Nine grips, not a cheap looking hunk of pastic that has removable panels. In the future, Sig plans to release kits that would enable you to convert the gun between full, compact, and subcompact barrels and slides. You would also be able to switch between calibers in a similiar fashion. They will be releasing DAO first, then a DA/SA. I would still prefer a .357 mag or a .44 mag revolver if I could only have one gun, but this would be the second gun on my list.

3. Ruger sp101, 3", Stainless Steel, hogue grips, .327 magnum

Good house gun for the rest of the non-shooters in the family. Packs a punch without .357 magnum recoil. Allows the owner to shoot four different types of .32 rounds.

4. Ruger RedHawk, 4", Stainless Steel, .44 magnum

Can load this gun up with the "Ruger only" 330 grain Buffalo Bore Hardcast loads. Nasty, nasty, nasty .44 rounds. This would be my choice for a trail handgun in Bear country.

5. Ruger Single Six Hunter, 7.5", Stainless Steel, .22lr/.22mag

This would be a good range gun and it would also be good gun to hunt small game.

6. I don't even think that I'd need a sixth, but if I did get a sixth handgun, I'd get a Beretta 90two.

Light recoil, very reliable, high capacity.
