WOW....concealed carry gun is the question...only one....nope can't.
kimber ultra carry....most carried, most comfortable with
642....ideal for carry, reliable...but only 5 rounds of .38 hard to reload
XD9 or XD45 service....very reliable, lots of rounds, available ammo....great shtf firearm, or long term bad day firearm
but since it is concealed carry as the criteria....I must say the 642..
can carry in any weather, easy to conceal, most reliable, can be with you no matter what.

Right now, it would be my Glock 19. My carry gun has changed quite a bit, but the G19 is by far the best one I've had.

Preferably a 1911, if in real trouble anything I can get my hands on that will save my bacon is good enough for me.

I would have to agree but I have a full size in the same make and modelOriginally Posted by pogo2
If you can only have one, for all times of year, all types of clothing, and every situation, it has to be a compromise. You can't have a backup, so it has to be significant enough in caliber and capacity to stand by itself. It has to be absolutely reliable, and it has to be small enough to conceal without too much trouble but big enough to be adequate in all cases.
I think I would pick a polymer frame .40 caliber with magazine size of at least 10 rounds. I'd probably go with my H&K USP 40 compact:
