The Best all round handgun

[trailboss]

What do you think is the best all round handgun? If you could only have one.
Do not say 1911, be specific with make model and cal.

Not only for concealed carry for personal defense.
But it must also be able to hold off a pack of zombies.
Smooth and flawless.

like this to start off:

Heckler & Koch HK45 .45auto
Springfield XDm 5.23 comp .45auto
Freedom arms MODEL 97 .45 Colt
Remington 1911r1 Enhanced .45auto


What do you all think?

 

[schadenfreude]

Glock 17- the caliber should be obvious. :dirol:

I'll second this and, since it is not for concealed carry, with my 33 end. magazine +1 in the chamber.

Oh, how unsafe...one in the chamber .

I have 2 I use, both great!
Colt M1991A1 .45 cal
Ruger SR9c .9mm

 

[Bigskyguy]

Glock 19- 9mm....15+1 on tap, easily conceals, or if needed for zombies, will accept a 33 rounder!

CZ 75 Shadow T. 100% reliable, the accuracy of a dedicated target pistol, 19 round (9mm) capacity, a joy to shoot. So in conclusion, if you are a competitive shooter, want to defend your home, happen to be a police officer or military guy, after 60 years of shooting, military and police experience, this beauty has become my favorite handgun in my vast collection - I find myself dry firing it all the time - I can't put it down!

Sig P226 in 9mm

Since Zombies are a concern and you have an afinity for the .45 ACP cartridge, you may want to pick up a KRISS Vector Carbine.

Glock 23 or 27...

Ruger SR9C. Flawless.

Just about any Glock would fit the bill imho, but since I can only choose one I would probably choose the Glock 27.

Springfield Arms XDs 45 with a bunch of clips.

 

[sig_man]

SIG P229 in 40, excellent

 

[memphis_raines]

For high capacity and smooth knockdown power for zombies, a .40 Glock 22. I have one for home defense, but I won't CC a striker-fired pistol.

 

[dbrow6272]

Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry 45 ACP. Small enough to carry undetected, laser grips that will work in the daylight at close range, and very well in the dark. If the red dot doesn't make an intruder think then the flash will! Perfect carry gun.

 

[Kalamity023]

HK MK23 with a Glock-18 back up with the 33rounder of course.

And of course, in conclusion, one can quickly see how futile a post of this genre is in that the answers will cover the full gamut of every handgun known to man that is reasonably modern. The "what's your favorite...., "what would you recommend...., etc., etc. is basically asking the respondents to ultimately list every reasonably popular gun. Hell one guy would choose the XDs - a micro gun. Of course he qualifies it by expressing the desire to want to re-load a few times should he get in a gun fight!

 

[misunderstood]

A xd, glock, mp 9mm .u will find ammo for 9mm all around world very easy. They hold more rounds than most. Easier follow up shot. Learn how to say 9x19, 9 luger, 9 parabellum in several languages. Couldnt pick just one model because all are just as reliable as the other.

True, but what if you could only have ONE. Just ONE HANDGUN

I love the colt peacemaker but if I could only have ONE gun.........I might not go with a revolver.
