If I am mobile and going place to place I would say my S&W 686. Concealable,ultra reliable,can shoot anything from a weak .38 cowboy load up to 180 grain solids. Finding ammo for it would be a lot easier I think than some other options. I would carry 100 rds of 125grn Sabers,50 rds of 180 Black Talon and some shot shells in my pack if its time to go.
Oh thank you my M1A SOCOM 16 has been refitted with some USGI parts and I think it is the most reliable gun I've ever shot. I can easily touch somebody at 450 m with a scope and CQB if need be. Great choice for the best single SHTF gun.
