If you could only own three handguns, what would they be?
.. I'd never allow myself to be limited like that.... Not now - not ever.

A well made 1911 A S&W revolver in .357 with 6" Barrel..... preferably pre 1980ish. A good .22. Likely a revolver in Ruger or S&W.

Good choices. Very nice. PS Don't you know how to post images? [img] https://www.1911forum.com/attachments/ivory-jpg[/img] That's odd. Why won't it post as an image? It's a simple jpg.

I would keep my Ruger Super Redhawk .480 Ruger for general big game hunting, My S&W Shield .45, for general carry, and my S&W Mod. 63 .22 LR. for small game and plinking.

Glock 19, 1911 and a 629 mountain gun. +1. Couldn't have said it better myself!

Seems to be a lot of agreement on the Glock 19 being in the list of three. I count 12 so far.

I like to have access to and the ability to use ammo so I'm going to cheat:
G23 40SW, with a 9mm barrel/mags and 357 Sig barrel
4" .357 revolver for Mag's and Specials
22 lr, most likely the 3" LCRx revolver but a 22/45 Lite would be ok...the LCRx is just so handy, light, accurate enough, and likely to be less ammo specific on function than an auto.
Although I only have one specific use for it, and really don't care for it much aside from that use, the S&W Gov gives you the ability to use 45ACP, 45 Colt, .410's....so it's an honorable mention.

I think MontanaMarine said it best, if things go down to a grab and go never to return, I'll be grabbing my G19 and my spare G19 for the reasons he listed.
Barring TEOTWAWKI my list would put me with a G19 for SD, a 1911 for fun and my 629 MG for elephants. Figure I could live out my days and not get too bored.

That would mean things have gotten really stupid in America. So,
Glock 19 - carry Glock 19 - house Glock 19 - spare
Universal ammo/magazines, spare parts cannibalization if needed, common pistol for myself, spouse, etc. Got that covered.

Glock 19x S&W 629 S&W 686 A good 1911 A revolver and a pistol chambered in 22lr.
I’m double the three gun limit but it would cover most of the handgun shooting that I do if really forced to narrow it down. An FNX .45 Tac for honorable mention just because I really like it.
