How close have you gotten to a "do all" handgun?
Another vote for the Sith 629 Mountain Gun. It may not excel in anything but it will do everything.

Where I live, IF I had one, it'd be any competent 1911 in 10mm.

For now, a GP 100 or a Smith model 19 will have to do.

I've got a 3 inch GP, that, although not deer legal here in Indiana, does everything else I might want quite nicely.

My sp2022 in 40 since it can fit the 357 sig and 9mm barrels. However, I would have to give the nod to my cz 75 compact that also has the kadet kit for 22lr. It would be my "Peacemaker" plus cheap plinking.

The first autopistol I bought was a 229/.40. Reasonably concealable, big enough for HD duties, powerful enough for a basic (non bear country) woods gun, enough capacity for comfort.

Other decent choices that I have bought since; 228, SP2002, and a GP 100. All are concealable, reasonably powerful, and will, with the right ammo, get the job done.

At this point, I own a decent toolkit. 1911s, .44 mags, 938 and a couple of .22s, so I can select the right gun for the conditions, including varied clothing, different threat situations, inclement weather and pure fun.

I have only owned one handgun for a full year and have no regrets about it:

G19

Glorp 29, I suppose.

Urban/suburban CCW, decent enough woods-gun, etc.

I'm gonna go with my recent purchase of the 19X.
Carry, nightstand and covers most else. I'm really loving this pistol. Seriously considering selling my other ones as they just collect dust now.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

G19, with a G17 mags (with x-grips) carried as extras.

I'll be honest, it's comforting to have 50 rounds available to dispense.

Actually I am favoring the Sig P365 as best all around handgun. Mine right now lacks only a thumb safety, Sig Anti Snag and some sort of stainless look.

Pocket caries easily, very accurate, reliable so far (born 8-16-18), powerful, large capacity and reasonably priced.

I do have some 12 other handguns that will beat it in one or more categories, but are deficient in others.

P320RX Full with threaded barrel
P365

I have the Glocks. Prefer the SIGs these days. With just some grip modules I have the equivalent of the 17/19/26 and with some Barsto barrels, a 34 AND 17L (my barsto threaded is actually the length of the 34. One serial number/many guns. 365 is just to damned good for concealed.

Very interesting opinions....A second vote for the P239 in 357sig...small enough to carry, flat shooting enough for varmints out to 100 yards...plenty of power for self defense...Its a shame it has been discontinued.

I too will have to give the nod to the G19. Specifically for me it's a G19 Generation 5, easily concealed in a Crossbreed Supper Tuck, or in my RGrizzle CB. It also serves admirably as my nightstand gun wearing a Streamlight TR7 WL.

My do all pistol would be a P229 Legion. It checks a lot of boxes and does so with that awesome trigger.

I definitely don't use a single handgun as a "do all" gun, but if I had to choose the closest, I'd go with the HK P2000SK LEM. With flush base pads, it'll fit in a large pocket. With standard mags, it conceals easily IWB. With full-size P2000 or USP mags and X-Grip adapters, it turns into a duty size pistol or home defense gun. I was going to pick the Glock 26 (or G27/G33) since they also take full-size mags but I do prefer hammer-fired guns overall.

My "Do All" gun would have to be my trusty P228. Over the years it's been a carry gun, match gun, course gun, and hunting gun. Chris

A Walther P99 AS 0.40 caliber with a threaded barrel, rail, and a suppressor for HD; USPSA, and CC. May not be bulleye accurate but it will group on a pie plate at 25 yards. A Glock 22 3rd gen would be a contender if it were accurized to match the Walther. And that suggests a Steyr L40 edging out the G22. Otherwise, a S&W N-frame in 0.357.

Yeah still an HK P2000.

If I have to go striker Glock 19/23.

For me the Sig p225 as the single stacks are my preference. However the P228/P229 would sufffice. Definitely want an all metal pistol if im going through hell
