My oldest and newest Rugers: SP101 and SR9c. (My 629 is just too big with the 8 3/8" barrel, although facing the muzzle might stimulate a BG to re-think his plan.)
I've read a bunch of these threads in the last 5 years...
But I generally avoid responding, because it is a difficult decision.
As of today, I think my answer would be:
S&W 4" M66
S&W Scandium 1911 PD
That might change tomorrow...but the changes would be in degree (which S&W revolver; which 1911) and not in kind (going from a 1911 to "something else"...etc...)
I am one of the own of Lookseek.com anonymous non tracking search engine. If you need to look up guns or ammo I promise you, we will not track you. Hopefully this post stays, we are trying to protect you pass it on. Thank you
I have to amend what I said before. If I am assuming the world is about to end, I want a high capacity pistol that will run no matter what, so I take my CZ P07 instead of a 1911.
