If You Could Only Buy One Handgun

Glock 26

Because I shoot it as well as a 19 but it's more concealable and accepts any double stack 9mm magazine

Well tough question i have four different edc guns that I rotate periodically sometimes based on my clothing ... I would have to say Wilson x9 ... thou I carry this gun very occasionally but if I hve to pick one I would say definitely edc x9 ... small light weight concealable great grip and good capacity .... love it

if I was financially struggling... a Shield 9mm seems like the sweet spot for reliability, quality and cost....

[Mithrandir]

or one of these..... ;)

This thread is still going? Sig P226? Colt 1911's, Colt Pythons and H&K P7?

Somehow this does not feel like it's in the spirit of the thread...if I could afford any of those choices that means I could put together a panoply of well rounded but cheaper choices. Rather than spend the $1000 to...what is a Python going for these days...two grand? Instead I'd take that money and stick it into a single-stack sub-compact 9mm or 380 (the always gun), a .357 Magnum revolver with a 4-6" barrel, throw in a good used pump shotgun (870 or Mossberg 500) and if I have a $100 left over I'd look for a used .22 rifle like a 10/22 or Marlin 60 in a pawn shop.

Yeah, that sounds more like a home arsenal than a single handgun.

Perhaps if the OP had titled it, "If You Could Only Carry One Handgun"

One and only one required lots of thought. Every situation I carry in, all the shooting that I do, if I could only have one, it would be the .45 Shield.

A year to the day since I responded to this thread, and I'm still carrying .45 Shields, pretty much exclusively. I've purchased two more since then.

It would be my CZ P07
