S&W M69 - 5 shot L Frame .44 Mag. If I could have only one handgun it would be either of the following, in the order shown:

Reasons: Fun shooting with light loads, and reasonable power if needed.

S&W M69 5 shot .44 mag
Freedom Arms M97 .45 Colt 4 1/4"

Can shoot all day with light loads and dispatch most problems in L48 with proper botique/handloads
