The one all around pistol... My glock 19
Yeah, I miss a lot these days. Okay then, either .380ACP pocket pistol or .50 AE Desert Eagle.
I did and corrected my comment. I was trying to express my opinion that there's no such thing as "one good all-around pistol". Maybe if some of the variables were defined...
How many more variables do you want defined to make a choice?
The above is from the OP.
If you had to choose only one beretta semiautomatic DA/SA handgun with greater than 12 round capacity between the calibers of .340 and .360 to use for everything, which would you choose?
It seems I've worn out my welcome here... if it was ever there. Perhaps if I made my points more clearly defined... or maybe if I was as rude and unforgiving as others here? It's pretty f-ing stoopid to ask such a dumb-ass question without clarifying the variables. For instance, regarding "hunting", are you hunting squirrels or polar bears? Oh... pu-pu-pu-leeze forgive my asking such an unnecessary question!!
Who cares. He wants to blow up the thread over "variables". Yeah, that's a great way to ignore the question posted in the OP and change the whole point of the thread.
If he didn't like the question or found it so "stoopid" he could clicked his way right back out of the thread.
Instead he starts trying to sound smart n shit then gets his panties bunched up because nobody gives a crap and treats him like anyone else who might do the same thing.

No reason to leave, EVERYBODY gets their turn in the barrel here......
Sorry... I'm trying to learn to recognize when I should stop posting.
RE the OP: The reason I asked for more defined parameters is because, IMO, the question can't be properly answered as originally asked. I wasn't trying to be an ass... at least not until post #91 and only after being b-slapped a couple times for no good reason.

Look Bud, we've all been stupid in a post here and/or there. And most get slapped once or twelve times until we learn to read thorough and then comment.
I think most of the basic requirements were stated in the OP, up to the reasonable question of "what is being hunted?"(paraphrasing). I then stated that definition.
This question is not definitive answer type question but, rather an opinion based question with too many variables and circumstances to solve with a simple one word answer. But, I am still getting few good ideas IF I were to ever have to choose only one semi automatic pistol.
Byrd... Okay I see your squirrel/mastodon comment. I'm sorry but the question is a bit silly. Let's assume brown bear... you'll need something like a Desert Eagle in .44 Mag or .50 AE... but how are you going to conceal that? What'll that do to squirrels, which I'm assuming you'll want to eat? In Texas summers you can conceal a 9mm or .45 ACP but you'd surely want something with far greater damage potential for brown bear. Limit the choice to three or maybe two pistols and you'll finally get valid answers. And my name is not Bud, it's Mike.

If you have a serious concern about bears, this is worth a read:

Now you're finally seeing the point to the question.
This is all about that One pistol. That one pistol that is as mythological as a Unicorn and a Pegasus. And I didn't stipulate this was a strictly a Texas weapon. This could be/can be/will be used wherever. From North Pole to South Pole. The one pistol that can do it all. Wherever and whenever whatever need or situation arises.

Can I use the pistol to shoot a bad guy and take his carbine?
