The ONE gun for SHTF

[SU405]

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.

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

Combat rifles? I don't think it apply's to the question unless that is your SHTF scenario

AK is all around, hunting, homeland defense, open beer cans, turn the tv on/off, you name it
