- In this week’s video I’ll be answering a question posed by a viewer, which is,
“If I could only own one handgun, what would it be?”
I’ll share my choice with you, and give you detailed reasons why it is my choice.

If you need more than six rounds to get your butt out of trouble then you're in really deep poo poo. A revolver is just about as reliable as you can get.
I'm typing for my husband. I love this man's wisdom & knowledge of firearms. There are a lot of so called "gun experts" on RUclips but, this man knows what he's talking about. Keep up the good work.
This older Fudd reloader appreciates the ammo versatility, and not having to pick up brass. Great video, and excellent choice.
4" 686+. Best gun ever made
I was an Alaska State Trooper for 22 years. Before we "upgraded" to semi-autos in the late 1990s, we carried .357 magnum S&W 686 with 4" barrels. That was an awesome revolver! When we made the switch the department gave us the opportunity to buy our issued revolvers. I declined that offer and have been regretting it ever since.
My most dependable gun is my Ruger Blackhawk 357. I would trust my life with it.
Morning coffee with duelist nothing better 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Great video Mike. I love the versatility of a 357 mag chambered gun. I really like my 5 inch model 27. It’s a bit bigger, but I’ve always been fond of N frame guns.
Wolves travel in packs. And unfortunately so do many bad guys. I do love a good revolver.
If you find yourself in a delicate situation and need to move out of the area fast, revolvers don't leave brass .
The Model 66 is a fine revolver and I should know, I have one. However, I prefer to carry a Model 686. The slightly larger frame and grip size as well as the additional weight associated with that make it a slightly more pleasant gun to shoot. You have a made a fantastic choice of sidearm. Good on you sir.
Mike,...even though i'm in the UK and obviously,...our gun owning rights are totally different to yours over there,..i find i still learn so much from every single video you do, no matter what type of firearm is discussed. So,..you keep doing what you're doing and i'll certainly keep watching because i enjoy them very much.
I own a 4" GP100, and I concur with your rcomendation, Mike. When my friends make fun of my wheelgun, I tell them, "At least my gun isn't going to fling evidence all over the place if I ever have to use it." I also compete with it in IDPA, and I always have a good time with it. Most folks are amazed at how fast you can reload a revolver using a speedloader, with just a little practice. You still have to pick up brass, though, because the goal is a fast reload, so the spent brass is punched out of the cylinder and disregarded. Although, when you do pick it up, it is sitting there in little piles of 6 empty cases, which is nice.
When I carry a revolver it's usually a Ruger GP100 4 inch or a Ruger SP101 3 inch with 38 +P or .357 magnum. But what I carry doesn't matter much since I wear shoulder holsters for all my pistols. Great vid man!
I absolutely understand your choice, and mine would be similar. Mine would be a 3" Smith K-Frame .357 Magnum, with a fixed sight. So either a Model 65 or 13.
This may be the most intelligent, practical presentation I've ever seen on the "one gun" question. You pretty much cover all bases honestly and succinctly. It's obvious you've given this some serious thought. Well done sir!
I also have accumulated a diverse collection in a similar manner to yours. I will never go to " just one gun" but in this scenario I too would choose my 4-in model 66. Glad to see you explained the thinking behind the choice to your audience.
Good choice, personally I’m picking a smith 686 4 inch 357. It is extremely versatile. And the 4 inch barrel is something I’ve always thought of as a “combat size” gun. Small enough to be handy, large enough to be effective.
I remember reading an article with Skeeter Skelton being asked, if he could have only one gun and had to flee to the mountains during a grid down scenario, this was based on the cuban missile crisis in 1962.
Totally agree. SW 686 in 357 mag from the '80's for me. If that makes me a Fudd, so be it. I've been called worst things.
