If you could only keep one firearm. What would it be

[Diversity210]

I was just thinking about the constant attack on the second amendment, the ever changing gun control laws, and SHTF situations where you could only grab one firearm, some ammo for it, and get out of dodge.

So if you could only keep or have one firearm. What would it be?


- Please list the specific firearm you would choose and post a picture of that firearm only

- Only Pictures and descriptions of a firearm you own. Nothing that you would want to have. This is last minute situation and that would dictate you need to grab something and get out. Not go to the store, buy a firearm, and wait 10 days to pick it up.

- Please give a brief description of why you would choose that particular firearm

- Looking for practical well thought out choices here, not just your favorite firearm.

- No either this one or that one. Firm decisions only. Remember you can only keep one

- Also please keep it friendly. Dont put down other peoples choice and their reasoning for it.

Last but not least. Thank you to all who participate.

AR Pistol. Can change calibers/uppers, stow in a backpack, plenty of firepower for PDW ranges.

There's a pic of mine in my profile pic.

Benelli M-4.

This is the gun I am best with.

mossberg 500. very versatile depending on the ammo and barrel and stock used.

My 20" model 92 in .357 would probably be the one. Then there's the first AR I built might be the one. But then there's the Remington 1100 with slugs, buck and bird. It does pretty good with rifled slugs out to 80 yards.....probably one of these

Remington 870. Interchangeable barrels, self defense, acquire food, multiple kinds of ammo I can use.

Rossi 92 carbine in 38/357. Capacity, power, accuracy, small package, ammo availability, and weight.

Really painful decision.

My Glock 19 gen 5 with auto sear.

I can use it in semi auto as needed.

I can holster carry.

I can put it into my roni sbr kit with red dot and hit torsos out to 150 yards.

I can turn it into a bullet hose with 33 round mags.

Not my favorite but most versatile.

Depends on the specifics of the scenario, but

...if I could only own one gun ( why? Due to legal restrictions? A *big* constraint would then be: what guns or type of guns could I legally own? )

...and I might have to get out of dodge at some point.

...and open display of a firearm is almost certainly going to be a big issue, so concealability is a must.

My primary Glock 19 and a bunch of std or "lg" cap mags. I'd generally prefer a long gun, but that's life.

Concealable in a pinch, durable as all hell, and good ammo capacity with smoking ballistics.

If these go totally anti 2A I am convinced we will only be allowed bolt and maybe O/U or SxS. So any of those!
