gun for a do it all, what would it be? Pics are always welcome!

I'll start, pretty sure I would go with my 229, best balance between concealment and firepower while still be a capable offensive tool if need be.

You were right.
Glock 19.

This one, my old service revolver which my Dept. gave me when I retired. Model 28.

It works on the biggest of critters.

Agreed. Glock 19.

I know a lot of peeps like the G19 but I prefer the G17. Even though I have small hands I like the full size grip and longer sight radius. It's as easy to carry as the G19, IMO.
 
Re: If you could only have one...

It would have to be a 1911. I carry for work and shoot a lot of different guns. I have carried several others over the years but have always gone back to a 1911.

I figured as its really a versatile platform. I wish I could like Glocks but my hands favor the Sigs.

4 5/8" ss Super Blackhawk (44m). Not much for concealment, but it does everything else very well. I would probably choose a 4" model 29 if I had one.
 
Re: If you could only have one...

Wow. Tough question. I'm tempted to say my 4" S&W 686. It's compact, accurate, and it will eat anything from light .38 Specials to nuclear powered .357's. My only reservation is its 6-shot capacity. Based solely on that consideration, I suppose I'd go with my full-size M&P .40. 15 round capacity, and it's powerful enough for the majority of taskes you can reasonably expect a handgun to perform.
