Ditto on the 4" wheelgun.
I vote for a Ruger GP 100. Target practice with 38's and load with 357's for real action. They are a bit heavy, but there is nothing to go wrong with this revolver.
N frame smith in 357. best all around gun by far. you could load light enough for small game or heavy enough for deer or even elk size game. i'm thinkin the SHTF gun. if the end came today thats what id grab.
Why would anyone choose a 9mm as the 'best all purpose caliber'?
I have a G34, and it's a great gun, but if you can only have 1, why pick that caliber?
1. Practice is cheap
2. Capacity is high
3. Ammo is (and due to it being a NATO round) and always will be available.

Completely agree, but why would you want a 9mm as your sidearm while hunting, or if you had to use it to actually hunt with?
I might be putting more thought into this 'all purpose' title than necessary...
