SHTF... If you can only take 2 guns....

[jrfly3006 42]

First I know there was a similar thread last April about this but this is a little different. Mods lock if you don't want to rehash it..

 

Lets play what if... Say SHTF one day ( whatever theory you'd like and assume you have no idea how long you'll have to be away from home) and you only had time to grab 2 guns out of the safe...which would you take? Explain why if you'd like.. They have to be firearms you already have..no wish lists

 

For me....

STAG Mod 3

FNX-45

 

For me the above give me the best opportunity for survival and defense of my family should it come to that...although I have poured over the idea of swapping one out for my 10/22 ...

Really curious to see everyone's choices.

Considering I only have 4 at the moment, it's not that difficult.



My G27 would be one.


And I'd have to think hard about choosing between my 700 and my Mosin. 700 has optics and is extremely accurate, but no open sights in the event the scope gets damaged. Plus, I'm willing to bet it'd be easier to find 7.62 ammo than it would 7mm-08.

OTOH, the Mosin is a brick compared to 700 Mountain rifle....and it'd really suck carrying it around for an extended period, but the guys in the war did it, so I shouldn't be such a Nancy about it, lol.

 

I choose the Mosin as the second.

[JackDaWack 2,895]

My lightweight ar-15 and my m9a1.

[MidwestPX 172]

SBR w/ can and my PWS T3 toggle-action 10/22 w/ can.  The SBR is ideal for self defense and can be used to take medium sized game such as deer.  Not a very good bird gun though.  The 10/22 would be for small game and if it's the zombie apocalypse, load it with subs to clear the undead without attracting additional attention.

[High Exposure 5,664]

I keep a sling-type bag (SO Tech Extended Go Bag) packed and ready to go in the safe. In the event something happens the wife or I grab it on our way out the door to supplement the 2 pistols I am likely already carrying.

 

Inside is:

 

- Broken down AR with a RDS that I can swap for an ACOG that is in the bag as well

- 9mm and .22 conversion kits for a G22/35 frame sized Glock

- Ammo

- Mags

- Batteries

- Chest rig

- Spare parts

- Cleaning kit

- Bleeder/Gunshot/Trauma kit

 

It provides a small streamlined "grey" package that no one would ever think has a carbine in it.

[vladtepes 1,060]

ar15....

 

and I guess my Glock since you are letting me take a second.. 

[RedBowTies88 41]

5.56 Saiga to handle defense and possible hunting and my xt-22 for everything else.

[1563621 388]

Pump 12, Ammo is readily available. Garand 30-06 again ammo is readily and accurate at long range. If you can see it, you can hit it. Old school!

[1563621 388]

Think again , some type of 22. Small game hunting. SHTF need some squirrel stew!

[Damjan 73]

AK Variant

Glock 26

[nitrospaz9 10]

My 1911 and probable my Henry lever .22. Can carry a few thousand rounds of that compared to my mosin rounds.

[greatgunstatenj 32]

I'm going to grab my go bag which already has my 9mm and an AR7 in it. The firearms I grab, 870 tactical and ar15.

[WVisHome 0]

I'm guessing all of you choosing .22's already have plenty of ammo, lol.

[Ginerik1 0]

Glock 35

Sig 716

[e80hydro 120]

GP 100 and an SKS. The SKS is for smell purposes. Old rifles smell nice.

[Lalo 13]

1. S&W M&P 15-22 (.22 AR. If ammo wasn't an issue, I'd grab the AR-15)

2. S&W M&P 9 (Pistol)

[I lost my gat piece 0]

I would take my Stag AR as well as the .22lr conversion (still counts as 1 gun ) and my M&P 9.  Shotguns are the most versitile imo but ammo is so bulky that my first choice would be my carbine, but if I was with a group of 3 or more people I would want someone to have a shotgun with them.

[DSD1026 48]

right now easy choice..  only have 5 total.. 

 

my CZ 9mm..

my SW M&P 15-22

 

thought about the Mav 88 shottie, but its heavier and the ammo is way heavier than 22..  and dont think a 22 pistol or s 5 round 38 snubbie is worth taking unless someone else is with me and can carry another 2...

[jrfly3006 42]

Doesn't everyone have 20+K rounds of it socked away ? 

ok so now we know who will be in charge of the ammo dump.. Lol

[Purple Patrick 638]

My ar with 556 and 22 bolts and a gp100 when I buy it

 

 

Sent from my hidden under ground bunker between Taco Bell and the dry cleaner

[henrym 19]

ar and 22 conversion / m1a <-- situational

glock 35 w 99 conversion barrel

[Shane45 807]

Am I grabbing for just me?

[RUTGERS95 890]

my lwrc A3 and my M1A

[Underdog 1,593]

Two guns is too limiting... need a dedicated combat-style handgun, modern sporting rifle, and a dedicated .22LR carbine...

 

Glock 23 GEN3 w/ with TruGlo TFO sights, 9mm conversion barrel, .22 conversion slide kit, and plenty of magazines in .22lr, 9mm, and .40S&W, including G22 mags.  Might consider getting a SIG .357 barrel as well for large wild animals, but I imagine a .40 would be rather effective.

Saiga 7.62x39, but would probably change this to a lightweight AR-15 in 5.56 w/ additional .22LR and 7.62x39 uppers.  That would be my two guns. 

 

A Ruger 10/22  would be sorely missed, though.  And, will "upgrade" to a Ruger 10/22 TD once a Hogue stock is available.

2-gun dream setup would be....

The Glock 23 mentioned above... And one of the new Colt LE901-16S, and an additional .22LR upper for it if there is such a thing. This might be a bit, heavy, though, but extremely versatile.

Sig sauer 229

[TheLugNutZ 21]

AR15 w/ .22LR drop in conversion.  And a sidearm (prob the M&P Shield so i can carry it with no issues and conceal it...)

 

Maybe i would substitute a 12ga pump in place of the pistol.  A shotgun is so versitile!

[mikeyboyeee 66]

My AR + 22 upper

Most likely my xdm .40 3.8 compact. Should be plenty of 40 out there.

[Old Glock guy 1,127]

I guess I would grab my Stag Arms Model 2 AR and my Glock 34.  But I would also have my GF carry an M&P 15-22 with an RDS (which she loves); and a Mossberg 590 A1 (which she does not particularly like, but which I love).

[millsan1 3]

92FS and CX4, same mags, same ammo.

 

I would cheat and include my AR7 as well.

[checko 180]

I dont know how it happened but I posted in the wrong topic.  

 

I would take my 14.5 AR and my Beretta
