personally, i like the sound (and price) of a model 10, a mossberg 500, and a marlin 30-30.

Rifle rifle rifle. Pistols are only good for carry and are inferior in every other way. You carry them when you arent expecting trouble but want to be prepared.
Haven't heard anyone consider the CZ52. I know they're cheap enough. Are there reliability issues?
That pretty much sums it up. One could possibly add its advantages in small-game subsistence hunting (squirrels, rabbits--relatively quiet with the right loads, doesn't tear up the meat), but that's just not practical for 99% of the population IMHO.not trying to hi-jack, but somebody PLEASE enlighten me as to the practicality of the .22LR in a home defense/SHTF role....aside from cheap ammunition and easy, cheap practice.
nd a Star BM 9MM.
Both are dirt cheap and extremely reliable.
I'd steer clear of the P64. It's a Polish P64, not a Makarov. Only a Makarov is a Makarov.

Sir, Im from New Orleans. Right now Im looking out of my office window at the Superdome. After Katrina there wasnt much concern with concealment for homeowners. When I walked outside to put gas in my generator I always had my M1A on my shoulder; I wanted would-be looters to see that I was armed and not the easiest of targets. The Gaurd stopped and talked to me a lot and actually complimented me on my rifle.
