Good Choice. Quote from Robert Mitchum, "Friends of Eddie Coyle." ...Give me a 4" Smith, she goes where you point her. IIRC

Great movie, must see.

I would have to go with Glock 17 or 19.

I only saw three posters who favored a revolver for their only handgun.

I've got Glocks, Sigs and Rugers, 380s, 9s and a 45, but of the ones I have, I'd pick my LCR 2" 38. I can hide it almost anywhere, in my pocket , in an IWB holster, just stuck in my waistband, under my cheek in a vehicle, under a small cloth where I'm sitting-almost anywhere.

It works, and will do so, I believe, even if I were to neglect it or abuse it. Don't think it will rust, has a far nicer trigger than any Smith I've had (and I've had a bunch of Js, Ks and Ns-but no Ls or any of those 460-500 monsters.

It's certainly not my first choice for concealed carry today, BUT, if I was limited to only one-that's be it. And my wife has one exactly like it, so we'd be matched.

CZ 75B...…(I have an SA but for home defense etc. probably prefer the traditional DA/SA). 16 round capacity, very accurate, runs and runs, great ergonomics and fits my hand like a glove.

SIG P229 9mm made between 1992-2000 or my SIG X Compact 9mm

I would likely take my 4" 629. It's not my favorite handgun, it's not the highest capacity, nor the lightest nor most concealable.

But... It's stainless steel, so it's pretty bulletproof, at 4" with a round butt, it's concealable, with mild .44 special rounds, it's fine for 2 legged problems, and with serious .44 magnum, it's fine for stopping charging pick-up trucks, and with a couple of speedloaders, it's reloadable reasonably quickly. All in, it's probably the most versatile gun that I own, while not being the best at any one thing.

If I were to grab an auto instead, it would likely be my SigPro 2022. Good capacity, reliable, reasonably weatherproof, accurate, and easy to shoot. Not my favorite auto by any stretch, but again, very useful.

The very 1st one posted. Sig P226 Mk25 , and yes many mags.

P365XL-MS.

Kind of like choosing between your kids but my P320 Compact in .45 is competing for #1. I've got a soft spot for my GP100 but those 6 rounds go fast.

G19 - still the gun I shoot the best...

M&P 2.0 Compact in 9mm.

P320, especially if I can still have the conversion kits to change from full size to compact as I wish.

I would go with a 9mm for the reason of ammo availability.
Probably my S&W Performance Center 5906; built well, good capacity and very accurate. Plus, I have a lot of mags for it.

Yes, WaterburyBob, Me too with the 9 for the reasons you say though I would have to decide which one to take along. Lately I really like my GrandPower P11; accurate, easy to clean and take down, feels great in my hand and little felt recoil compared to others. The problem is that it is tough to find interchangeable parts like there are for the Glock. Oh well, the scenario is not likely to happen.

Add me to the P226 SSE group, mine in 357 SIG.

Toss up between my CZ P07 and my HK P30 SK. My two carry guns. Both in 9mm.

Wilson Combat EDC X9. I like my Glock 19 but I shoot this much better

Same old boring G19 answer here.

Another Glock 19 answer.

Glock 19 w/ light
