Looking for an everyday handgun. Not sure which way to go. Im looking for something that can basically live in my center console that would be a great sidearm while hunting. Any suggestions from the board? TIA

I would go with a Glock 30/30S/30SF if I could only have one do-it-all handgun. A Ruger SP101 if I preferred revolvers.

My recommendation for what you described is a P365XL

CZ P-07

If you’re not going to conceal it, get a full-size pistol from any major manufacturer.

^^This. From what you describe, you have no need for a smaller, easier to conceal gun. Are you going to use this handgun to hunt w/, or just carry it on you while hunting for finishing shots on game or self defense from 2-legged creatures? Having said that, my "outdoors gun" is a Taurus (let laughing commence)
G2c in 9mm. I spent only $200 on it, largely bough it to see if Taurus guns were as bad as everyone was saying. Mine's been good. I ended up buying a less expensive OWB holder for it. I don't worry about it getting wet, dirty or whatever like i would my nicer guns for concealed carry. I don't use the Taurus to hunt.

I carry a Kimber Ultra Carry in 45acp all stainless. Every once in awhile I carry a Sig 220-1 in 45acp usually only in colder weather.

Im in the same boat and need a general do-all pistol. Not really needing to conceal carry.
Will likely buy a PSA Dagger. It won't hurt as much if it gets banged up or not used often.

quote:I see dozens of these threads here every year (with variations such as gun for wife, mom, etc.). You're getting dozens of conflicting answers (which is always the case), because people mostly post their personal preferences.
Any suggestions from the board?
The best advice you've gotten so far is to get a full sized gun from a manufacturer known for the reliability of their guns. No manufacturer makes guns that are 100% reliable, and none makes guns that have a defect rate of 100%.
BUT, you try to beat the odds by buying a statistically reliable weapon (i.e. good track record, over a number of years), then shoot enough rounds thru it to know that you can depend on the particular one you bought.
No offense intended -- but if you have to reach out to an internet board for advice on what to buy, I'm presuming you probably have very little experience shooting handguns. Which is OK - we were all new to guns at some point. But if you are that new to handguns, you need to find a good instructor to get you started on becoming proficient with whatever you buy. Understand that shooting a handgun requires very different techniques than those used in shooting rifles or shotguns.
Self-training with a handgun is essentially an oxymoron. Get a certified instructor to show you the basics so you start with, and build, good habits. There are dozens of ways to shoot a handgun, but most are very inefficient (slow and/or inaccurate) compared to the "tried and true" methods/techniques that you should learn.
ETA: There is some good advice posted on this thread: LINK
