Is everyone in your party capable of walking that distance, are your shtf items too much to carry, along with all the other shit you now have to leave behind?
    How bad did Plan A got to sh$%^t and can you pause long enough to go to Plan B, OR are you realistically screwed just like everyone else on that road?
    Should you have had better back up plans, stayed home or moved to another area with like minded folks etc, etc.
    This is exactly what I anticipate since I work downtown. My bugout location is my home. If there is an exodus from the metro area, I expect to abandon my commuter vehicle at some point (start point is 40 miles from home). I have the necessary survival items, season appropriate clothing & boots, an 870 with 25 slugs & 25 00, PT92 with 5 mags & 100rds, CCW pistol and food & water (+purification) for three days. I can certainly make the hike, but I am going up to 9000ft so it will take time especially as I avoid the “predators”. However, time is critical as long as my home rests undefended. As long as I am able to hunt and cut wood, I can live at my home without refreshing supplies for a long long time; I have all the basic necessities naturally to include water, shelter, timber, and game. After my initial supplies run out, I can keep going indefinitely depending on health.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Define reliable? …bias or test results?

    I tested it with 1000 rounds (so far) of lead reloads without a malfunction and it feeds the hollow points without issue…extremely ammo type friendly. I personally like the platform and I am extremely familiar with it(over two decades of using them); the one I have has the accessory rail. I am growing my familiarity with the striker fire pistols, but I still don’t like them as much as the 92, Hi-Power, and 1911. I have several striker fire, DA, and SA semi-autos in my safe to choose from and this is the one I like to store in the trunk of my car (it works for me when needed, the rounds count is kept low, and I really don’t care what happens to it). If I tested it with problems, I would have trashed it.

    Incidentally and although not exactly the same, of all the pistols I own or have owned, I only have one that has never malfunctioned in the 22 years I owned it, my 92F. Personally, I really like the trigger and safety on the Taurus much better.

    Edit: My CCW is different...you had it quoted together with my survival pack pistol.
