Everyone should have a rambling around .22 LR with adjustable sights, so mine would be a Colt Woodsman.
Personal defense should be a concealable 9mm and there I'd have the Sig 365XL.
Third one is the hardest because anything that I can do with a larger caliber handgun, I can do better with a rifle. For a take along camping handgun my .44 Magnum S&W 629 Classic would be a nice one.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
