First thanks to you and all the others that have served.
I'm mainly a pistol guy, but if you don't mind keeping a loaded gun around I'd go used american 12 gauge pump.
If you do worry about keeping a loaded gun around (I do), you may want to look at the Hi-Point, Kel-Tec, or even Berreta Storm carbines. I recently bought the Hi-Point 9mm carbine with this in mind. Truth be told, I don't regrete buying it, but in the "real deal" I'd feel just as comfortable with a 9mm, 40sw, or 45 pistol with 10 round plus mags. Hi-Point also makes a poly 40sw and 45 auto pistol.
If money is no object, then there is a world of options. I'll mention one that may not immediately come to mind. A 2nd or 3rd generation S&W auto. My CCW will be my S&W 469. I have put like 200 rounds thru it, and it has never, ever mis-fed, or jammed on anything I've fed it, includuing Wolf, and aluminum Blazers. (Something that I can not say about the other pistolds I've owned. BTW - I put about 50 rounds thru the hi point carbine - no jams on that one either.) And right now the S&W auto's are not the flavor of the month, and are a bargain used.
Stay safe,
