    SHTF... What do you reach for?

    Your striker fired 9mm?

    or

    Your trusty 1911?

    Why?

    Neither, I would take either my M4 or AK.

    But given the choice between these two I would take my M&P 9 over my 1911 any day of the week and I'm a 1911 fan. The M&P has a great advantage in the number of rounds per magazine 17 for the M&P vs 7 or 8 for a 1911. Also, the M&P is lighter and from my limited experience the M&P has been more reliable than my springfield loaded.

    In all seriousness, 9mm.

    Bang every time. Simple as that.

    My AK-47 or even my Drgunov but if only handguns probably my CZ 75B or my CZ 82.

    This.

    People overthink this subject. It has been beaten into the dirt here. Everyones needs, skills set, and housing situation vary.

    Most prefer a carbine.

    For me it would be a M&P45/X300. However, as I sit, there is a G23 with in arms reach. Naturally, I'd roll with that.
