If you were to only have Three Guns for Survival
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 3/28/2017 | J Stokes

What would those three guns be? Jerry Miculek had a chance to voice his response on the subject.

Wait, before we get to the guns, just to clarify that we’re talking about having these three guns for survival.

Some folks have talked about the .357 revolver as a primary SHTF in many internet forums and this has stirred up the hornet’s nest. Mainly due to the age demographics, for instances, folks that are from the older generation would agree with the .357 revolver. Where the younger millennium generation will stick with the striker based handguns like the Glocks in 9mm.

Don’t think so?, someone had asked this question to shootist extraordinaire Jerry Miculek and even he went with an 8-shot .357 wheelgun–specifically a Smith & Wesson 627–as his one handgun for every situation. Take a look here.

This fully depends on the type of survival situation. Out in the wilderness alone/small group? Your main concern are lightweight and hunting small game - .22 rifle, 12ga, and probably a mid-sized bolt action rifle. In the city in a rioting lawless survival situation? Shotgun again, and you’ll probably want a decent AR and the .357 revolver or .45 1911 as well. Zombie survival? .22 rifle for food and a pair of shotguns for dual-wielding purposes.

Mainly, are you surviving against animals or crazed humans? City or wilderness?
