I love my 41 but I would have to pick the 357 mag as my top pick due to the fact it comes in a revolver small enough I can CCW but also one large enough I can hunt with.

.44 Special. Fairly easy to hand load (not touchy), accurate, with enough power for anything I will encounter

Favorite to shoot would be 9mm in a semi.
When I have the time, I like to shoot a lot and the 9mm is easy to do so and relatively cheap.

I really like the 44 special, but view the 44 mag as more of a good thing as it can be anything, mild to wild.

I'd have to pick a revolver cartridge as I don't like chasing brass. But then the idea of only one cartridge... It would be between 38 special, 357 M, 41 M, 44 special or 44 M.
And I'm sorry but that is the smallest list I can come up with, can't narrow it down to less than that.
I prefer classic.

.45 Colt.
For versatility, it can't be beat- use low-velocity, mild loads for Cowboy action shooting, moderate loads for target and even big game up to deer, and loaded hot and with a wide variety of bullets for even larger game, such as moose, elk, bears, etc.
Another plus is the ability to use those loads in rifles, such as Win. mod. 94, for all of the above activities. There are other cartridges and calibers that are versatile, but IMO, none as much so as the .45 Colt.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

Barring the .22 rimfires, I'd chose .45 acp in a 1911, or the .38 special in a Smith model 15...
If I was to decide on one handgun forever make it a 1911 .45 acp...

That a fine looking .44. What are the details and who did the work? A former Old Model Super Blackhawk that I had Alan Harton tweak by fitting a Bisley grip frame (that took an azzload of fine TIG work to maintain the radius) and necessary weld up of the hammer slot, trigger spring revisions, leaned the original hammer, cut the barrel to 5 1/2", fluted the cylinder, custom fab'd front sight base and blade and a full polish and blue. Grips are by him as well in a dark hard as nutz walnut.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

1) .45acp ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/Pistols/Titanium1911_zpse818fafa.jpg) 2) 38 Smith & Wesson ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/Pistols/DSCN0926_zps934de081.jpg) I'm pretty close to positive I'll be the only one touting this caliber, but it's my trail gun. Super fun to shoot, relatively quiet. (Less sharp than a 22LR), Makes a big ole splash when shooting at turtles, and blows mud clods to kingdom come! ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/Pistols/DSCN0929_zpsb0f3b4a0.jpg) It's inexpensive to reload for. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/Pistols/casthollowpoints_zps2fd3af27.jpg) Leading has never been an issue. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/Pistols/38SWCBullet_zpsf88ab915.jpg) ...and after-market grips dress it up nicely! ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/Pistols/f9722b63-8441-435b-859b-6e66083765c6.jpg) [img] http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x472/davidmc116/Pistols/DSCN0958.jpg[/img] DMc

I love the 45 Colt and 480Ruger As do I. Add the 32H&R mag to that list and that would be my top 3. Dialed in the 480 2 weeks ago after switching scopes.. I'm outta handloads. Was hitting 4" steel @ 50yds consistently...... ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-09/DA2AEEF3-0E05-4982-A8EE-662E89B2EB20_zpsmmyjlar0.jpg)
