I've pondered the thought of what would be a useful single choice of gun to use on an outing like that. Definite choice for me would be between a .357 or .44 Magnum. One could use hot ammo or the specials. I really like the 8-3/8" M27 S&W for handling and frugality of components (perhaps that is just heavy on my mind right now) compared to the .44. But the .44 is indeed versatile too. Both for revolver and carbine.
My Reeder Wichita classic 6-1/2" in .356 GNR has an extra cylinder, two actually, a .38/357 and a 9mm. Would that be cheating? Ditto for my Reeder custom .429 GNR SRH, a quick cylinder assy. swap and it shoots any straight walled .44 from mag. on down. Not that shooting .44 Russians are in vogue but I sure could!
MY CHOICES THEN AND NOW

8-3/8" MODEL 27 .357 AND 7-1/2" .44 SPECIAL NEW FRONTIER
That M27 is a very special sixgun

I inherited mine from a good friend. When we were younger he took great delight in out-shooting me with it, and me using a more expensive Colt Python. Actually both of us shot that M27 the very best. Now I have the gun, and only memories, good ones.
