Two Guns
« on: February 03, 2012, 08:03:51 PM »
Ok,
After much experimenting with several types of handguns, Revolvers, Semi Autos, snubs, compacts, full size service pistols, I have arrived at the following question:
If you can only have two handguns,  only two handguns,  what would they be?  Say you only had the cash for two purchases.
Approach this from a practical standpoint.  What would be the best two to get by with?  What two would work best for you in
satisfying your self defense lifestyle/requirements?   It doesn't have to be a specific manufacturer, just two specific types.
What do you think?   I have my ideas but before I share them, what are yours?

For me?  Limited to two handguns to satisfy my self defense requirements?
A bobtail 1911 commander in .45acp for EDC, HD, and social work.
A 4" or 6" .357 revolver (I like 7-shot S&W 686s) for backwoods (nothing bigger than a black bear), backup EDC/HD.
YMMV

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Pretty narrow usage that you give, but based on that I would say Gov. model 1911 and a Ruger Mark III.  Change the criteria, and I will change my choices.
