1: A full-size(5" barrel)1911 45 ACP...everyone should own one!
2: A Glock 19...best 9mm IMHO!
3: A S&W 442 or 642 as a BUG or hot-weather EDC.
************************************************* I think almost all contingencies could be covered by these 3 guns. Throw in a SA or DA 4-5" 44 Mag as a "trail gun" and the collection is complete. If you're really worry buy 2 of the first 3 guns as "back-ups" if a particular model is down for maintenance!:smile:
Wow. For such a subjective recommendation, I'm in complete agreement!
I've deviated from your suggestion by a 637 instead of 442/642.
There's a missing .357 or 44 Mag from my collection, and I'm starting to think I'm missing a Ruger LCP. The 637 is light, but bulky and still occasionally prints thru the pocket holster. For a hot weather EDC, I may replace it with an LCP wrapped in a 'wallet' holster and leave the 637 in my office deck drawer...
Oh yeah, the G19 is like no other. Nothing else compares.

That's what I call a good and reasonable selection. :hand10:
I would of course make a few changes, based upon my preferences, if I was limited to three guns only, but I often conceal three guns on my person, and always at least two. My choices would be, as follows:
1) Browning Automatic Pistol in .40 S&W
2) J- Frame or Ruger LCR
3) Glock 19/4" .357 Magnum GP100 (Too hard to choose)
I'd probably go with the Revolver as the third choice, as I really like the .357 Magnum for it's versatility. If I want to shoot 9mm I can change the barrel in the BAP.
I'm just glad I don't have to make such choices, because it would be too hard to do so.
Sig P226 .40 S&W
SA XDsc .40 S&W or XD 4" .40 S&W or S&W model 66 .357 magnum
S&W model 60 .36 spcl
It's a toss up with the XD's the 4" is becoming somewhat of a safe/range only gun, and the sub-compact has basicaly become my truck gun (nice little hidden compartment for it), I carry the model 60 daily, and sometimes I carry the model 66, especially if I'm heading to the woods.
1. Glock 19 - OWB
2. Walther PPS - comfortable IWB WITHOUT having to get new pants
3. Seecamp .32
