Quote HistoryQuoted: If it comes down to a pistol you're screwed, but my "battle pistol" so to speak is my S&W 2.0 with a 5 inch barrel. I don't think so necessarily. A concealed pistol is better at making oneself appear as a non combatant. If you're walking around during TEOTWAKI with a rifle, someone is going to pop you before you ever see them, run up and steal your stuff. A good handgun with a light and an optic has no problem stretching out to 100 yards if need be, never underestimate the element of surprise. |

G17.
While I have several other full-size pistols that would fit the bill quite nicely, this is the one that lives on a war belt, and kept ready 24/7. Yes, I know how boring of a choice it is. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ill be the odd man out, my Sig 320 with red dot and 21rd mags This, or my Glock 40. The G40 might be more versatile, though, since it can shoot 10mm, .40, or 9mm (conversion barrels). |

If I'm at work, the Beretta because it's my desk gun. Anywhere else, the CZ. I shoot it better than any of my others.

It's just a thread asking to pick what your secondary would be if going to fight for land and country. Nothing more, nothing less. But if you can't be bothered to play by the thread rules, at least respect the person giving their answers as it's game and not a dick. My secondary would be my G45, with just a light on it. M rifle goes down or no time to reload I can still stay in the fight by drawing it and using it until time permits to use the rifle again. Besides, you'd be having gear on which means a belt. Now I don't know you from me but carrying it OWB on a battle belt is more better. It would make carrying it concealed instead and under the battle belt rather pointless, restrictive, and unusable. Do you understand now? Maybe now some of you would get it finally and answer the OP according to the rules instead of adding your own to them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: M9a3 or a gen 3 Glock 9mm. Parts and mags would be everywhere. You could make that case with a 1911 as well. Which is where I’d lean, my Tisas commander. Especially if we’re also pretending FMJ will be abundant and hollow points scarce. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I want to say my staccato c2, but would probably go with my walther p99 or canik. I can easily mod a lot of mags to work with the p99 or canik, basically any sig 22x 9mm, beretta 92, and a bunch other mags will work with a new mag catch slot. I did not know this and Canik mags are hard to find non-shtf. Very useful info that moves my TP9sfx up the list. |

I have a soft spot (and a hard spot) for the G35 mostly because of cheap cop-trade hollow points for SHTF. Couple this with an extra 9mm conversion barrel, Mandingo mags and a snicky snick back plate. And. Here. We. Go.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You might need to traverse places that will put extra stress on an open-carried gun. Climbing around ruined buildings, wading through a flooded basement, crawling through rocky debris (to avoid detection and/or hunting), bumping against doorways- all of these things can damage and degrade a handgun and mags over time. It's not only about how much you might shoot it. I mean, sure, if that’s your plan for SHTF, more power to you. To me, that sounds like a bunch of hypothetical and reckless behavior that you’d want to avoid at all costs if you’re realistically trying to survive. Exploring ruined buildings and flooded basements are very late stage SHTF for me. If I end up at that point, I will have had plenty of opportunity to scavenge replacement gear. |
