Fantasy Decision: Pick the one handgun and one rifle you will keep. (Read 18145 times)

Some big sh*t befalls you and now you only have money to get ONE HANDGUN and ONE RIFLE (or longgun).

These guns will have to last you "forever." (OK not really forever but say 20 years).

What will you decide?

(Let's not worry about purpose; if you hunt, they will have to do for hunting; if you are only worried about home defense, they will have to serve that purpose).

For me, Glock 17 + AR-15.

Something just occurred to me. If the Glock guys here (like me) picked the Glock 19 instead of the 17, we can use both 17 and 19 mags.... but anyway, I prefer the slightly longer sight radius on the 17.

Seems like AR and AK are popular. No surprise.

looks like it's basically 9mm + 45, and .223 + x39. Again, not a huge surprise.

Maybe as a 3rd gun, especially bolt. But for 2 guns, I'd go with .223 and then the handgun caliber.

unquestionably a 5 inch 1911 in 45acp

For a rifle I guess AR10 with a longer target barrel, my ar15 is plenty fun to shoot and versatile but the .223 just doesn't have the balls to do everything a rifle should be able to do.
