1. Sig P365 for carry.
2. Beretta 92FS. I want to say HK p2k or Vp9, but neither has manual safety I will not carry any pistols without manual safety.

Geez, tough task....for carry and defense 90% sure it'd be a P365 with a cpl of extra mags....mine's been the most reliable pistol I've ever owned...50+ years of carry in peace and war...

For the other, I'll go with Sig's 1911 RCS with an extra upper in .22 LR. The .45 original is the best .45 I've owned; accurate, reliable, as tight as a tick and with the .22 upper, you've got Fun and some cheap practice with a solid CC choice.

Given one more...honest just one...I'll hold on with a Smith 5" model 629...big bullets, heroic recoil and plenty of smack on the receiving end...it'll do for hunting east of the Mississippi.

1. P226 9mm (easy)
2. G19 (hard)

The G19 went up against the USP 9mm, P228, and GP100. It was mainly a question of practicality for me. One of the two may as well be a compact, so the G19 beats the USP because of its size and the P228 because of its weight. But it was close because the USP and P228 are among my all-time favorites (and the P228 even uses P226 mags as a bonus). The GP100 obviously loses in size and weight, but also in caliber (all the others are conveniently in 9mm and I don't really need the GP100's power). However, the impractical side of me was wanting one to be a pistol and one to be a revolver, so the GP100 was also up for consideration.

A little "new school" -- my Walther PPQ M2 (I shoot far better than my G19) and for "old school" -- my S&W Model 19.

M&P 9 M2.0 and a second M&P 9 M2.0.

I’d HATE to pick just 2… but from my current fleet it would be:

P229 Legion 9mm

S&W Model 19-4 4”. It’s pretty, pinned and recessed, so fun to shoot… I could never part with that one.

Glock 19 and Glock 42

P229 .357/40
P225

Glock 19 Gen3
Ruger Single Six Convertible, Stainless, 6.5" barrel, 22LR/22Mag

As much as I like 1911's, a Glock 19 and a 4" S & W model 66.

PX4 Subcompact
P30

Same for me. P320C works for CC and for home defense. Mostly I carry the 365, but the 320C is a do-everything well.

CZ 75 Compact (w/ Kadet conversion), sp2022 with all 3 barrels.

HK P2000 V3 or Walther PPQ M2.

For me, my P365 and my P226/9.

They must both be at least somewhat concealable. One of them must be *very* concealable.

One must be a 22, the other must be powerful enough for wilderness carry / large animals.

Extra points for zero plastic. Extra points for a classic design. Extra points for SA trigger. Extra points for high capacity mags.

I can't satisfy every wish, but the best match I get so far is this:

Beretta 71 in 22LR + a commander-size 1911 in 10mm with bobbed grip.

I don't have the 10mm yet, but hopefully will soon.

Mk25 226
Taurus Raging Hunter .44 Mag.

A 357 revolver and a 22lr semi auto. Got all the bases covered with these two.

Beretta 92 & Glock 26 Gen-5

I'd say if push came to shove I'd have to say any CZ carry semi and any med-heavy DA revolver.
