What is the one handgun...

[T-Baggin98]

Beretta 92fs would be mine. Ive always been the most comfortable with it and it is the better version of my service weapon so it has that value as well.

For me it would be a first gen Colt SAA.

I recently had the pleasure of cleaning/lubing/de-rusting a slew of Colt SAAs. Amongst them was a very good condition first generation Frontier Six Shooter in .44-40 with the black powder frame.

Your lust is well grounded! The balance and action on that thing was buttery. Though the honey of the bunch to me was a four inch in .45 Colt. That thing was so...slick... o_O (Was also surprised how awesome feeling the much-derided Colt Lightning DA pistol was...though the insides looked like a Swiss watch...)

But my pinacle gun would look a lot more like Itdavel's...but instead of a Broomhandle Mauser, it's be a Luger with forestock and detachable buttstock. America's goofy laws on pistol vs. short barreled rifle has effectively killed a neat niche market in small carbines...

Its a toss up between an HK USP 45 or a 1911...I have both, so I'm happy.

Great this helps me out in my new thread!!!!

2-1/2" Colt Diamondback!

I always used to say it would be my S&W 629 Mountain Gun, but times have changed. I'd go for a plain old boring Glock 17 these days and be quite happy.

Caspian 5" 1911 with a Damascus slide and fixed sights.

Wanted one for 6 years now.

2-1/2" Colt Diamondback!

Same barrel length but I want a Python.

8" Anaconda

Does an H&K MP5 count as a handgun?

Gotta be the desert eagle in 44 mag.
