A gun for every occasion

[tuckerdog1]

No limit on how many here. If you were buying guns so you had the right gun for whatever need might arise ( home defense, daily carry, hunting, SHTF zombie attack, whatever ), what would you buy? Caliber, barrel length, SA, SA/DA, semi-auto, revolver, maker if you wish, and why.

1) Wilson Combat 1996 A2, full-size gov't for everything (CCW, IDPA, home, etc.). Bombproof reliability, can always find 1911 parts, basic no-frills 1911. With the right holsters (I use Comp-tac CTAC and Rafter S OWB), I can almost always have it with me.

2) Seecamp LWS380 for when I can't carry the Wilson. Just as bombproof, easy to maintain, and I can't imagine an excuse to not have a gun with you if own one. With a good pocket holster, this gun disappears in just about every mode of dress.

That's it, two guns for 100% of my needs. Never without one or the other.

here's my list

I am listing handguns & long guns since I thought out my purchases with specific reasons in mind...

Smith & Wesson 642 .38 spl +p snubby: ccw, home defense

Ruger GP100 6" .357 magnum: hunting, backup home defense, range

Beretta 92D Centurion 4.3" 9mm parabellum: home defense, car defense, range (my only impulsive purchase, but how often does a NIB surplus DAO Beretta 92 appear?!?)

Stevens M200 .30-06 w/ Sightron SI 3 - 9 x 40 mm scope: hunting, range

Remington 870 12 ga...20" Hi-Viz adjustable sights & interchangable chokes and 26" double bead sight & interchangable chokes: small game hunting, slug hunting, hunting camp defense, turkey hunting (a future endeavor), home defense, block shoots (a future endeavor), plunking

[GreenFurniture]

5" 1911 made from all tool steel.

20" AR15 or 21" M1A

20" 870

That's all I would need.

 

[Ala Dan]

I agree with my friend Green Furniture on the 1911 in .45 ACP~!
Personally, I prefer the 5" Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special now that I'm
retired from the law enforcement world.

And, as a BUG- I prefer Larry Seecamps LWS-32, as it fits perfectly in
an extra handcuff case or front pants pocket.

Long arms, I prefer the M4A3 Colt 16" barrel with collaspsible stock,
with a Bushnell or EO Tech HOLO-sight mounted atop a Calvary Arms
mount, that is bolted to the detachable carry handle.

In shotguns, I like the old standby- a Remington 870 with the newer
Marine Magnum finish.

 

[DWARREN123]

One for each hour of the day plus field, casual and BBQ guns.

 

[Just Jim]

Guns and golf both have about the same approach. Pick the tool that makes the shot in as few a strokes as possible. Just carry the right bag, a Jack Bauer bag that never goes empty

Most everything you could hope to accomplish could be done with one rifle,pistol and shotgun. The make and model is left up to personal taste.
