SHTF Gun

Beretta :confused: To each his own ! I personally pack my Favorite - Glock19
I think that Glocks are THE handgun & second on my list is the M1911-A1:thumbup:
But when the SHTF & I need a firearm then the pistol will go on my side (as always) but my main goto SHTF gun would be my Mossburg Maveric 12ga ;)
the pump 12ga is the ultimate allpurpose gun:thumbup: it will eat all 12ga ammo & will take down anything in North America from 4 legged to 2 legged critters (with the correct load of course).
12ga pump :thumbup:
can't beat it ! :cool:
 
This sounds like a 'prac crap' thread.

Personally, it depends on how much S hits the F and at what height and speed F is at and how well the S is distributed.

How much ammo would you carry for it? At 2.5 lbs per box of ammo, it gets heavy fast !

I second the Mossberg 12ga. I have the 'marinecote' version I bought in the late 80s. No longer use the pistol grip I had added the 'speedfeed' stock - 18 1/2" barrel - I good to go with 100 yards with Brenneke Slugs or 00/000 shot.

OH yeah, a Glock and a Mossberg pump! Can't beat that combo!

For me, it would be my Glock 23, and my Mossberg 500.

As far as the weight of ammo, I have a little cart that straps to my waste. I can walk around all day shooting zombies with that amount of ammo.

if im staying at my home it will be my Mossberg 20 GA Maverick with buckshot/slugs, and a ruger .22/45 P4, 4" BBL that im pretty good with. for longer shots i would have either a 10-22 with scope that i built as a "Laser" Gun, or an old scoped Mossberg .308.

if im forced to bug out i would take the Ruger P4 and a folding stock 10/22 with many 25 rnd mags and at least 1000 rounds for both guns. would also take my Springfeild M6 .22/.410 with about 200 .410 shells.

Shotgun is a fine tool until you get to real environment distances beyond 100 yards - and for the average person, beyond 60-70.

Rifle has advantage over shotgun.

My go to rifle is a SOCOM 16. 7 magazine minimum load out.

I train CQB and would take rifle over shotgun.

I love the shotgun, don't get me wrong, it certainly has its place in a defensive battery but for me it is rifle.

YMMV.
 
Glock 20, 870, and Bulgarian AK. Any one of those or all 3 if the S was REALLY hittin the fan;-) ......The 1911's and AR's would stay home.
 
This is my car gun, paired with a Glock 22. Mags and ammo interchange.

Once I get home, heavier stuff is available.

Remington 870. Double 00 buckshot. Like a post Ive read here before. "Just the sound of chambering a shell is adequate in most situations."
