If you could only own one gun.

[Integraholic]

RPCS. Good for many situations.

 

[Crystalship1]

Wow.......

 

[Justus]

Tough question!

I know I'm going against the grain here but I'd have to
say any current Ruger semi-auto rimfire.

 

[JcJ]

HK 91/G3K

 

[Scutter01]

What the heck. If you only get one, might as well make it a big one.

 

[JBLee]

It would be my Olympic/Safari Arms Matchmaster .45

 

[Newg]

G22. Because something in the neighborhood of 1 blazillion police departments carry them, making ammo and spare parts plentiful.

 

[techres]

Only one but normal world:

1911

Only one on desert island:

S&W 66

Only one SHTF:

AR

Only one SHTF and no spare parts or cleaning kits:

Ak

Only one and have to dig it up from where grandpa hid it in 199?:

Mosin 91/30

Only one and have no ammo any more:

Mosin 44

I could do this all day...

 

[Panama]

Really a tough question!
I just can't make that choice,
How about, I'll only take 3 guns and 1 knife;

12ga 870
USP 45
Ruger LCP
CRKT folder

I'm grabbin' them all on my way out the door!

 

[Paul]

Any SIG

of my collection, my SIG 226 in 9mm.

 

[Bigum1969]

My Glock 20 with lots of Doubletap ammo

 

[wolfman]

My Ruger MK III.
With the scope, it will put 10 rounds in a quarter at 50ft, and will feed you for a long time on all game up to and including deer. Has the accuracy for lethal shot placement if necessary from ranges out to 100 yds (I know for a fact this is true, no it is not legal, but as a kid, a buddy and I used a .22 to kill a deer with a single head shot at just over 130 yds). Ammo is available almost everywhere, and a .50 cal ammo can will hold over 5,000 rounds, and still be light enough to carry around for short distances.

 

[Coach]

12 gauge. Mossberg 590.

 

[sloughfoot]

The shotgun rules. Defense of hearth and home, small game, large game, waterfowl, upland birds, rabid dogs.

It was the most common firearm chosen by the frontier family. Side by side then, still good choice now, but I would pick my 870 if I could only have one firearm.

2nd choice: 22 semi auto rifle

 

[ar15_dude]

This is easy. The most versatile, useful firearm is a 12 gauge pump, either Mossberg 500 or Remington 870.
- One can legally hunt everything between birds and deer;
- nothing more effective against 2 legged predators
- effective range >100 meters (sabot slugs)
- can swap barrels without tools
- can use iron sights, red-dot, scope or no sights
- pistol grip or full stock
- relatively quiet (compared to an M4 for example)
Only downsides are:
- not great CCW,
- limited magazine capacity,
- heavy/bulky/expensive ammo

 

[turnandshoot4]

My 11-87

 

[Benny]

Does an AR lower work?

You can shoot anything from .22lr to 50bmg.

If not, then I'd probably either go with one of my 1911's for my only pistol and one of my AR15s in .223 for rifle and a Remmy 870 for shotgun.

Don't ask me to pick just one again please.

 

[_JD_]

I think if I could only have one gun period it would probably have to be my Ruger GP-100, that way I could shoot .38s or .357s, good for self defense, good for hunting if needed, still able to be concealed.

 

[SilentWarrior1]

That would have to be...

Parts a plenty, cheap and plentiful ammo... and over 8,000,000 in existence and more in production... and will take a literal beating and STILL work. Gotta love that.

 

[DocGlock86]

G23. The Glock would absolutly outlast any other gun.
