Which one are you grabbing in a SHTF situation

Snichblaster@reddit

Glock for a few reasons:

What I’ve trained with since day 1
Abundant ammo and magazines
Abundant parts
The most important: It Will go off when I pull the trigger 99% of the time

[-]

Exact-Event-5772@reddit

That’s a very high failure rate for a Glock.

[-]

Snichblaster@reddit

Not hard when the competition likes to go off at random times.

[-]

Probably one without batteries, something that is easy to take apart and fixed with a little metallurgical know how, so that means my 380 Makarov. Like 8 parts and easy disassembly, fairly common ammo

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

Batteries?

[-]

Bigkeithmack@reddit

As in for a flashlight or red dot

[-]

Exact-Event-5772@reddit

You described a Glock, and then didn’t say “Glock”.

[-]

The_hammer_69420@reddit

I’ll take my g17.

[-]

Agent___24@reddit

I prefer sig but would take a Glock just because everyone has one so ammo and mags wouldn’t be an issue.

[-]

…mine

I personally love my Smith and Wesson m&p shield. I'm left handed and it was the first handgun I've had the magazine release on the correct side. If you don't know how much of a game changer that is. Put it in your left hand and release it. What happens?

[-]

Glittering-Ad6911@reddit

Glock

[-]

Curious_Bookkeeper85@reddit

All 3

[-]

illjustmakeone@reddit

if the situation is local and temporary like you're trying to make your way out of a mall shooting, then whichever has the highest mag capacity.

[-]

ConsistentSorbet5993@reddit

What if the situation is local and permanent?

[-]

illjustmakeone@reddit

Then get an item that matches your local PD and National guard. By far the largest opposing force limiting your movement to resource or travel or help in the beginning will be those two forces. That means they're also your most likely easiest source of replenishment if needed. Lives will be withering, and lost. People will be desperate and panicked.

penguins8766@reddit

Glock all day

[-]

No_Staff594@reddit

None of the above. I love my stock gen 4 Glock 17 with a tlr1

[-]

Martincountytactical@reddit

None of the above. All failures waiting to happen

[-]

ObviousWeb447@reddit

the glock shares mags with my pcc. I literally have a broken in glock 19 that just rides in a safe with the pcc for just this kind of situation.

[-]

lilcoold12345@reddit

None of those. HK USP baby.

[-]

Snichblaster@reddit

A bit heavy but reliable and dependable as all hell. Bonus points bc you look like solid snake.

[-]

GrillinFool@reddit

If we can choose something else then I’ll go with a 1022 and take the extended range and being able to put 500 rounds in just one pocket.

[-]

battlerazzle01@reddit

Go with what you know. So I’m taking the Ruger

[-]

RanglinPangolin@reddit

BSLF050

[-]

Intelligent-Age-3989@reddit

I'm going Sig simply because I own a Pe65 with a radian kit and it's f-ing amazing and I can shoot the piss out of it consistently (my EDC for almost a year and 3500 rounds so it's my go to for sure.

[-]

fnscarcasm@reddit

A Glock without an olight

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

Hey i got it during a black friday sale lol

[-]

Intelligent-Age-3989@reddit

The light A is a KICK ASS optical for the money. I have one on my p365 and it hasn't budged off zero since I put it on 8 months ago. People love hating them because of the old X model but the S series is awesome

[-]

tobillama@reddit

None of them, I'll stick with my own

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

A real scholar

[-]

tobillama@reddit

Nah, i just really dislike glock.

[-]

firearmresearch00@reddit

I'd prefer a light over a red dot if I had to choose but I'd also take the rxm over the glock. Maybe I'm biased or stuck in ways but imo it has a better trigger oem and a nicer grip

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

Im not a big red dot guy just picked one up bc the RXM came optic ready otherwise I dont run them on pistols

[-]

gadsden1blog@reddit

A rifle.

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

I'll post the AR

[-]

C4Vendetta76@reddit

19x without a single hesitation

[-]

Inevitable-Sleep-907@reddit

Not a pistol

[-]

ConsistentSorbet5993@reddit

My AR with 20 inches of fun

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

I guess i should post my AR too

[-]

ConsistentSorbet5993@reddit

Yes. But always remember the purpose of the pistol is to get back to the rifle that you should have never put down in the first place.

[-]

Cool-Topic-1077@reddit

The 19X

[-]

gthagod@reddit

Definitely not the Sig lol

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

Its not a gun id buy again but it runs

[-]

gthagod@reddit

I just don’t have much faith in the company anymore. Traded out my 320 legion for a kitted out Glock 19 gen 5 this past weekend. Now I have mostly Glocks and CZs.

[-]

Proof_Bathroom_3902@reddit

None of them, I've got my own.

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

Lol fair

[-]

17_ScarS@reddit

Scar 17

[-]

wangblade@reddit

Glonk

[-]

PbCuSurgeon@reddit

Basic Glock

[-]

ReverendReed@reddit

Always Glock.

Is it the best gun out there? No.

But when every gun store has them, and it's the most carried platform by law enforcement, magazines, holsters and parts are everywhere for it.

I'd rather have a gun that is easily fed by battlefield pickups rather than the idealistic "best" gun.

[-]

yiquanyige@reddit

same reason i would pick a ar15 over other rifle platforms.

[-]

Kihav@reddit

Main reason my next handgun is probably going to be one.

Not my favorite by any means (far from it) but the accessibility to parts and equipment is one of the highest

[-]

KyOatey@reddit

There are two holsters and I have two hands. I'm taking them all.

[-]

TaiyoFurea@reddit

Whichever has better stopping power for hunting

[-]

Fine_Eagle_4141@reddit

These would be my secondary. Primary is a rifle. Of these the Glock or the Ruger.

[-]

GizmoTacT@reddit

P365

[-]

Legal-Management6969@reddit

This is a trick question ... It would be a Glock .. but...

NOT that one ....

I am choosing the one that is compatible with the most commonly sold glock magazines in the nation....

The Glock 19 sized Ruger RXM....

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

Love the RXM so far

[-]

medicjake@reddit

Whatever has the least aftermarket parts

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

All parts are OEM only thing aftermarket is the ZevTech mag baseplate extension

[-]

MikeyG916@reddit

None of those.

If it's truly SHTF, 99% of people won't make it past the first week.

You want a stock, boring, non fucked with, ultra reliable pistol that takes easily found and lightweight ammunition.

And you want a lightweight, boring rifle for hunting small game because you will have no refrigeration and trying to store large amounts of processed meat will make you a very nice target.

Stealth, survival knowledge, and woodscraft will be the biggest advantages.

[-]

Reasonable-Drink536@reddit (OP)

All of my pistols i keep the internals stock. Only thing I ever add is external, lights, optics, etc. Good points made tho.

[-]

I dont have one... yet.
