One caliber minimalist

[W.B.]

Hypothetically, let's say you choose to limit yourself to three guns and to keep things very simple you choose one caliber. The three guns you choose are to provide an overall combination to cover all bases (or close to it).

I would choose 9mm.
1. Boberg/Bond Arms Bullpup (for concealment)
2. FN FNX-9 (primary)
3. Beretta M9A3

A lightweight 16" AR 15 in 5.56 topped with a 1-8x lpvo.

That's it, I don't need the two other guns.

Isn't this what the 5.7 is for?

Where do I hypothetically live?

[Mayor McRifle]

I would choose .45.
1. 1911
2. 1911
3. 1911

.22 LR because I can attract larger game with the smaller animals i harvested and when they are close i will jump out of my tree house, land on them, and choke em out...

S&W MP 15-22
Ruger Rifle 10/22 Sporter 22" barrel
Browning Buckmark Countour Pistol

Yes, despite the "bigger is better" crowd, 9mm does the job rather well.

Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt Range - go big or go home...

[trackcage]

10mm? Shoot 40 out if it if needed for cheaper practice. An interesting idea but honestly I would choose 9mm

[sealocan]

Glock 26 with a whole bunch of magazines... for reliability and concealability.


Ruger pc9 that now takes the Glock magazines and breaks down into two smaller pieces...for each compatibility, compactness and getting a longer reach out of the 9 mm.


The last gun would either be a stainless steel Smith & Wesson revolver in 9 mm with half-moon clips because ...

revolvers rock.


Or possibly a 1911 custom job in 9 mm because....



America,

that's why.

( I would just by one of the last two that I found first at a better price.

Unless I'm hypothetically loaded with more money than I know what to do with.

Hypothetical Universe ...

please let me be loaded.)

Not possible.

You must have a rifle and a pistol (IMO) which mandates two different calibers. And note when I say "rifle" I mean something chambered in an actual rifle caliber, not something like a .357 lever gun...which is awesome of course, but still doesn't pack the punch of a traditional rifle caliber.

I personally think the absolute bare minimum number of guns one should own is four but six would be better. The four should consist of a .22 rifle, a semi auto handgun chambered in either 9mm or 45 acp, a 12 gauge shotgun, and a defensive rifle of some sort. If you truly want to keep to four guns then maybe make the rifle a 308 so you can take larger game with it too if need be.

If you went with six guns then I would say add a .22 pistol and bolt gun chambered in some type of .30 caliber round.

These threads always pop up every so often and they're dumb every time.

Sig P365 for carry
Glock 19 for home defense
