Who said full size? And since the premise is of a one gun for all situations, I don’t think a pistol is good for anything past 50yds and I certainly wouldn’t want to be hunting with a 9mm. Just a personal preference but concealability is not in my top 5 priorities for my one and only weapon.

IF YOU HAD TO HAVE ONLY ONE FIREARM.

Several folks did. When is not having a firearm most likely to negatively affect your life? When you can't carry it because it isn't concealable. I'm more concerned about 2 legged predators than anything else. Concealability is paramount.
The OP was asking about one firearm for all situations-- note "all situations."
A handgun or PDW that can be concealed while walking or otherwise traveling out in public has to be top priority.
The only situation where I would not make my one and only firearm a handgun /P.D.W. would be if things were so bad I was just hunkering down in a bunker, eating my own food, not trading or dealing with anybody, and never leaving my own property.

P.S. So I am saying that the most important role of a firearm in my life, both now and in the expected future involving pretty much any realistic scenario, is that the firearm shall be a portable personal defense tool for me.
If my main interest in firearms was something else, like hunting or target shooting, or even flat-out warfare, then my answer would be different.
Then it would be some type of long gun.

If you were in a situation where you can only have one gun, then I’m assuming something terrible has happened. If that’s the case conceal carry goes out the window. Rifle all the way.
Why does concealed carry go out the window? I'd still want to be as stealthy as possible.
Just conceal a rifle at that point. Short barrel. Who cares if it’s a bad situation we are all assuming it is.
It'd be much more difficult for me to conceal, even a 10.5" AR than my G17.
You mean like having to transit a Democratic run urban area?
