[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 3025992, member: 5168"] Choosing only one is a very hard choice, and for most you'd like it to match up to a rifle/carbine of some sort. Most will pick a revolver/lever-action rifle since its the most common here in the USA. There are carbines available for the 1911/Glock pistols yet they require something that revolver/lever guns don't, and that is magazines. Magazines are faster to reload when needed for such, but you still need them. In something like the Glock, they have made longer mags for the carbines available such as the Kel-Tech Sub-2000(of which I have one, and its a damn fine little carbine). Yet the magazine issue is what I'm going to come back to on my choice, its something you have to have or the gun doesn't function, and its one more thing to keep up with along with the gun ammo and such. Where as with the revolver/leveraction rifle, all you really need to keep up with is the ammo, and I find that for the most part the lever action rifles tend to be more accurate than the semi-auto carbines, and also tend to have a little greater range to them. So to answer the original question, I would have an GP100 Match with fixed sights to match up to my Marlin 1894CS in .357Magnum. Both loaded with Hornady 140grn Leverevolution ammo they will handle just about anything in the lower 48. Other ammo is good too in .357 or .38Spl. [/QUOTE]
