Academic question:

If you could have only one handgun that you would rely on for everything from target practice to the apocalypse, what would it be?

You would carry it in urban areas concealed; use if to defend against grizzly bears, Indians, rioters, and Visigoths; you would use it to hunt for food when out in the wild; you don’t want it to be too heavy when hauling it around long distances with a heavy pack; you don’t want it to be too big to conceal easily; you want it to be reliable enough for years to come; repeatability would be a plus, and fast reloading; etc. …

What would it be?

I think I would grab my G29. It’s only a bit bigger than a Walther PPK; holds 11 rounds; weighs just a half ounce over 2 lbs loaded; doesn’t recoil a ton; and can spit out 155gr bullets at over 1,400 fps (700 ft-lbs) or 200gr HC bullets at over 1,100 fps.
