A ruger blackhawk and another gun that would let me have more guns.

Which two depends on the reason WHY only two.

Finances?

Gun Laws?

Bugging out on foot and can only carry two? (if this one, bugging out of a hostile area, or am I in a wilderness area already?)

The answers are different for each.

I like this question - it's tough. "Only Two" is much harder to answer than "which three".

At the moment, I'm thinking Smith M&P40 and FNH FS2000.

I know a few people who are content with just two guns. My brother, a vet has a Colt 1911 and (I am not sure of the model....) some sort of an M1 carbine and he sees no need for another gun.

If it were me... I guess I would want his two

I got the reference, for a moment I thought "Oh no, he's back!"

 

[Robson4506]

Rifle (ar-15 for me) and mousegun (Ruger LCP for me).

Can't get through body armor, or reach out and touch someone at 2-300 yards reliably without a rifle. Can stop a threat with one in home (penetration argument be damned here,you said 2 not 3!) in a marginal compromise to a shotgun though.

Can't shoot your brother in law who went off his meds, you know the one in the Santa suit with an home made flame thrower at Christmas dinner, with the 1911 you felt strange wearing and left in the coat room. Can ruin the day of a person who rounds the corner to your room in the middle of the night at 20 feet with 7 rounds of 380 lobbed his way. If not that quickly needed, can grab your rifle.

Crap compromises of course. But my vote is mouse gun and rifle if only 2.

 

[Robson4506]

And oh yeah, talking "bugging out" TEOTWAWKI stuff, I would say AR-15 (if it can be carried out in plain sight, or you are in a vehicle, if not primary handgun) and a 22 pistol for hunting small game (ammo size, accessibility when you see game on the move vs a packed rifle, and noise).

 

[tju1973]

I would take my AR15 and my XD.45-- which are both my go to guns anyway..

 

[Patriotme]

Springfield XDM
BCM M4

 

[Madcap_Magician]

I DO only have two guns, and one of them hasn't even arrived yet.

 

[P.B.Walsh]

.308 or 30-06 bolt, .22 rifle

I NEED MORE!!!

 

[MattTheHat]

An AR15 with a 22LR conversion, and a 1911 (10mm) with a 22 conversion.

[ChuteTheMall]

AK
Glock

These are self-defense choices.

If I wanted to primarily shoot flying birds or distant varmints or paper targets or big game, I might consider different preferences.
Not likely, though.
