The ONE gun for SHTF

[Troublco]

Hmmm, I was just thinking of getting a 6" barrel for the G20.. Should cover most anything under 150 yrds..

That's a good choice. I have one for my G20 that I picked up for handgun pig hunting, and it ought to work well for nearly anything else. I think I'll pick up some more brass for mine now.....

gas operated rifles would be out for the maintenance issues
piston ar's have questionable reliability at this time
bolt guns are limiting in fire power
ak's are good but heavy
shotguns have limited range

tough choice.

Glock it is

Uh dude you just left out the most obvious choice, Krinkov it is!!!

I would not take any of those. I would take my good old MINI 14. Kinda disappointed that was not an option but I guess the Garand is the same platform.

Glock in .45acp or .40cal. Its concealable, the ammo is easy to find, it will shoot forever, and its stopping power is almost flawless.

I would go with a rifle other than that, but walking along solo with an AR/AK type platform visible just paints a target on yourself and makes other needy people want to jam you, jack you, or worse.

If I had say 4+ guys... thats a whole different story, but ill just say that a full tac kit / bugout vehicle / mobile fire team would be useful.

Only one? My 870. Slugs, Buck & Trap loads. Have a nice day!

I kind of see your point about calling to much attention to yourself.

BUT... I would never try to jam or jack anyone walking around with an AK or AR. But then again people are F'n retarted.

If you hold to the rules, only one gun and the SHTF scenario and don't just pick your favorite gun, it's a worthwhile question.

I can see the advantages of a pistol but it would have to be a revolver with their reduced maintenance. They are light and you could also carry at all times.

If you're thinking of living off the land and not your neighbor, then I would lean towards a light weight 12 gauge pump. They can hunt birds to bears and require very little maintenance.

Things to not consider, no matter how cool they are, Semi-Auto's they require to much maintenance. I can't believe all the people who picked AR's. They are cool but I'm going to take your food when your guns don't work

AK all the way, if you think its to heavy do more push ups
