If you could only have one gun for the rest of your life, what make and model wo

[cmamath13]

Commander size 1911 45 ACP.

 

[Mr. Neal]

My AR chambered in .223/5.56.

 

[fundy87]

over/under 12 .ga shotgun, short barrel

 

[CharlesGoodnight]

Mossberg 500 or Remington 870

I would have to choose a good pump action shotgun. Maybe a Rem model 870 chambered in 12 gage. You can outfit them with tons of goodies, and as stated before they can perform many functions well. A slug will drop most deer and other large game if you can stalk to within range. Buckshot will drop most home invaders and birdshot will take down any small game at a reasonable distance. You can swap out the barrels for bird/slugs pretty easily,usually without any tools. Pistol grips and fore grips are cheaply had and easily swapped for stock furniture. They are durable, reliable and proven. My choice is a shotgun.

Both guns are built to last and can take a beating. Parts are plentiful. My only dilemma would be 12 or 20 gauge.

I give another vote for the Ithaca 37, with a rifle sighted deerslayer barrel on it. Home defense or meat getter, it will do nicely

 

[danielson]

As much as I love handguns, its gonna have to be a 12ga. Theyre just so damned practical...

 

[j706]

20" AR15A4 1/7 twist barrel with fixed stock.

 

[STEEL CORE]

That day may be comming......a G-23 for me. I will use it to get what I need.

If I don't have to carry it I would take a 120 mm L44 M256 smoothbore cannon from the Abrams.

However, if I need to beable to carry it I would keep my XDM 3.8" compact .45. 10+1 rounds for carry and 13+1 for longer engagements. I understand the shotgun and rifle arguments, but I spend a lot of time away from my home and this pistol is much easier to carry everywhere.

 

[Robert Richardson]

Ed Brown Special Forces 1911,45acp. Those long guns would be awful heavy to carry every day and hard to conceal.

 

[drifter197]

browning hipower 9mm or 10-22.

 

[Scarecrow]

Mossberg 590A1

 

[Sniper 79]

stainless 1911 .45

very concealable and cheap to load for and a heavy hitter

 

[HARVEYtheDAMNED]

12 Gauge shotgun for sure. Fills all rolls and cheap ammo.

 

[copo]

Sig Sauer P228 good reliable gun that shoots great!

 

[GarandTeed]

I can't really speak of any guns that I haven't owned or at least shot, but if I had to keep one of my guns it would have to be the LWRC SPR.

 

[maddogmech]

I believe I would have to have my Remington 541 T
