one handgun to do everything

Timothy, now that you're a free man, I'll repeat an earlier suggestion. Buy a Bond (see my post on the .410). Congratulations on your emancipation. Who knew you had to break South to get free.

But, it's not the same state I left 14 years ago.  They got all in our junk about firearms over the last decade or so.  I'm still going naked cuz of the new rules and residency, training, money, more money and something called, money!

Taking the NRA Basic Pistol course in a couple weeks, apply for the CT CC permit, reapply for my MA non-resident permit, apply for the RI non-resident permit and I'm good.  After all that I'll be out another 300-500 bucks.

Ya gotta realize, in about three minutes and a wrong turn I'm in Rhode Island which isn't a bad thing when I'm unarmed.  A completely different story when I'm healed...  I don't have much of a choice.

My kingdom for National Reciprocity!

ps....don't start TAB!

When you're in Mass the only worse direction is West, (NY) even East is a better choice (Atlantic Ocean )North is best though (NH and Vt. )

Yes, I would most certainly prefer drowning over living in the state of New York...

I appreciate your review, I'll keep looking or stick with what I know works.  Now that I'm out of the Peoples Republic, I have a huge assortment to choose from.  I'm awful choosy and take my time anyway so I might have come to the same conclusion on my own but you've save me the hassle.

Thanks.

Don't discount it just because it didn't work for me, they're selling so obviously somebody likes them. I had one of the first "2 some" sets so they could always improve on them. I'm glad to give a review and I'll tell it exactly like it was for me but everybody is different. I compare every regular carry pistol to a Glock, if it won't do the same thing either better or for less money then I don't see a point. I make exceptions for 1911's or other pistols I find specifically collectible or that I just want to own but when it comes to a carry gun it usually needs to out Glock a Glock.

Why's the Glock choice limited to full size?  A stock G30 holds just as many rounds as a G21, and with magazine extensions is actually more comftorble / controlable / concealable.

My one handgun would be a revolver.  The reason why,I am disabled by type one diabetes and osteo.    I do not have to bend over to pickup brass so,that is why I choose a revolver.   I do love Rugers and S&Ws revolver from the .22 to the 44 mag by these two gun makers for their quality and accuracy.   rich642z

I didn't vote in the poll due to two platforms not being in consideration.

The first is the 1911 for concealed carry, home defense, target shooting, plinking and what-not. The second, and would be my first choice if I could only have one handgun for everything with a caveat, would be a 5" .357 Magnum. The caveat being that bears or larger dangerous game weren't a realistic possibility. If I was in Alaska, or other Moose/Bear country I'd be inclind to go with a larger caliber.

I don't thin one handgun can fill all the roles that we ask a handgun to perform, but some come close. The closest, IMO, is the 4" - 6" .357 Magnum. That is just my opinion though, and worth what you paid me for it.
