What is your list of survival guns, this list would include pistols, rifles, and shotgun. Lets say you can list two pistols, three rifles and one shotgun. So post a comment and tell what you think is the best list of survival guns.
My List
Pistols= Glock 19-9mm and S&W .38 Special
Rifles= Ruger Mini-14 and Springfield SOCOM 16 and Ruger 10/22
Shotgun= Remington Model 870 Express
I know a lot of people don't like the mini-14 but I do, for 50-75 yard shots it works very well and I have had one for years and love it. Tell me what you like and why.

Pete,
ReplyDeleteSure you'd want a heavier cal to reach out and touch someone but I think you're selling the Mini 14 short on it's range.
I have consistenly fired 1" groups at 100yds with both of mine using my own handloads.
You can't do much better than a Mini 14 for close to moderate range. With 30 round mags you can lay down some serious cover fire.
Or if you want to get a little more serious check these out..

Seems you've got your basics covered on guns but I guess I'm old school when it comes to Handguns.
If a Handgun cal don't start with a .4 in front or "mag" at the end then all your doin' pissin' off the bad guy...
You might rethink that 9mm and .38 ;)
Rifles -- DPMS AR15 LWC with a Trijicon 3.5 red dot, Surefire fore-end (straight not vertical grip), M1A1 with a folding stock, Steyr SSG 69 with a Springfield 3rd Generation 3.5-10x54 mm scope (1000 yard gun)
ReplyDeletePistol -- Glock 17 (3rd generation so a light will mount on it) and tritium night sights, Para-Ord P14 with tritium sights
Shotgun -- Heavily modified Remington 870 with extended magazine tube, side saddle carrier, top folding stock, Surefire fore-end, and Border Patrol tritium ghost ring sights
Knife -- Mad Dog Warlock
Pistols - Glock 23 in .40 S&W and .22 H&R long barrel revolver.
ReplyDeleteRifles: Mosin Nagant 7.62x54R, Marlin 30-30, Hi Point .40 cal carbine, Multiple Ruger 10-22 rifles.
Shotgun: Remington 20 gauge pump, youth model for wife and daughter, Mossberg 500 12 gauge pump.
I had a ton more but sold them off in favor of other goodies (HAM Radio, new tower, new antenna rotor and beam, etc.)
I would want an SKS or M1 grand for a rifle(easy to get ammo because of mil suplus, pretty cheap, 30-06 or 7.62x39mm or the AK round, and I like them), a .22 of some sort eather semi or bolt action, and a Beretta Cx4 Storm. For handguns probally a ex GI issue M1911A1 Colt .45 cal and a M9 (the mil and police issue today) or Glock. Ashotgun would be eather a pumpaction or a doble barrle side by side or over and under in 12 gauge.
