Your three should be right on top of the list.

But most any good quality fighting handgun could replace the 357.

But the 357 is a very good option.

You got in one shot. My choices may vary a bit but you have the bases covered.

It might seem strange, but a .22 Pistol and rifle and a 12 gauge shotgun.

I’m not going running to a bug-out shelter anymore and I’m getting old. .22’s just weigh less to lug around and the ammunition just weighs less for greater quantity.

We’re fantasizing here, right? For survival, why choose three different calibers? One thought might be one would be more likely to run across something that would fit. Another thought might be to have a pistol and long gun using the same cartridge, and a shotgun. Less ammo to mix up.

That MP5 should have been an MP5K

And I’d probably substitute a 12 gauge for the AK.

Wait... why a 1911 Colt .45?
I’m not challenging you; I just don’t know what the third gun is for.
(I grew up in NY; I endorse gun ownership, but the gun culture is fairly alien to me.)
