I'll shoot first with this one:
Brand: Dan Wesson of the late 80's or early 90's.
Model: 15-2
Caliber: .357 Magnum
Barrel: 4" or 6" heavy underlug vent rib for defense, 8" or 10" barrel for small game hunting. Used to be sold as a 'pistol pack with a 4", 6", 8", and a 10" barrel in a case along with a barrel changing tool.
Features: Easily exchanged barrels due to the way the barrels screw into the mainframe. Transfer bar firing pin similar to a Ruger, Taurus, or others instead of the hammer mounted firing pin of a Smith and Wesson. Cylinder latch on the left side in front of the cylinders on the mainframe makes this a better gun for left handed shooters like me.
Accessories: Would definitely want to add a set of combat grips. Would also add a possible laser sight to the 4" or 6" barrel for home defense.

What's the supposed cause of only being able to own one? I'd lean toward a 5" 1911, but if concealed carry was to be a part of every day life, then I'd opt for a commander size.

My favorite, though, is my Springfield XD-45 Tactical, with two hi-cap magazines (13 rounds each)...would really love to find a third mag (maybe even a fourth...would be nice if I could afford it!)
