If you could have only one what would it be? My choice would be my Glock 23 with two barrel 40 S&W and the 357 Sig barrel. Nothing beats the Glock in my opinion.

Self defense... from what? Bears? Zombies? Muggers? An invading foreign host? Open or concealed carry? Hmm... I guess for all 'round, general purposes (sort of one-size-fits all scenarios) I'd go with something that starts with a "4" and ends with a "5".

If I had to choose just the one for all SD (including outdoors) it'd probably be my G29. Conceals fairly well (at bit thick) and the 10mm covers a pretty wide range of applications.
My Kahr P40 carries awfully easily though to be .40.
If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.

If it's gotta be concealed I want my Smith M&P Compact 9. If it's like a Wog type situation where everybody is armed, I'll take my Springfield 1911 in 45 ACP.

Here I go again. For self defense I would go with one of these in .380: http://seecamp.com/products.htmor a PPK in .380. Both make good self defense pistols for the pocket and are very concealable no matter the weather. However, if I know I'm going into harms way such as a police officer, soldier, survivalist than it's the best quality M1911 in .45 Auto I can get and a good quality K-Bar knife. I have my flame proof suit on so flame away.

I'd like to own a Seecamp and a Rolex for the same reasons. Ultimately though I check the time with a G-Shock and carry a KelTec.

Glock 19--I used to say Glock 23 but Arthur Itis has been bothering my hands after I shoot it.

I have two:
old favorite: H&K PSP 9mm
new favorite: Colt CCO 45 ACP.
Both fit my hand better than anything else I've tried.

Probably would have to pick the one I carry on a regular basis, and sits beside my bed at night, which is a Kahr P-9. Other close contenders are a Combat Commander pattern .45 ACP, and an FBI pattern S&W K-Frame revolver in either .38 Special or .357 Magnum. I hate Glocks. They're not natural pointing guns for me.

Second choice would be my kimber 5" .45
