appears there is going to be a nuclear war...so what handgun for the apocalypse?

Glock 19 fits the bill but a suppressed Glock 44 just makes sense so you'll never run out of ammo. Weight and logistics may dictate what you have.

My head says Glock, but my heart says 1911.

Don't be an emotional irrational.

Depends how close you are you ground zero. If you are close but not too close so that you and your family will die a painful death of radiation poisoning. The you need a flintlock pistol for each member of your family.

Hey guys,

Might as well have some fun with our possible incineration. So, presuming you survive and it turns out you are pretty damn tough, what pistol are you going to lug into "Road Warrior?"

.22lr for me.

No need to further pollute the environment with lead that a guy does not 'need' if he aims carefully.

Get a Tokarev TT33, AK47 and learn to speak rooskie.

[Texaspoff]

A good ole G17 and AK-47. Simple, easy field maintenance and minimal upkeep.

Cross bow... crack off a round and everyone knows.

[Scrubber3]

Glock 45.

As the mushroom cloud elevates, the shock and heat wave advance I'm pretty sure I only need a weapon capable of a single shot....

Pretty much my first thought when I saw the thread.

My Colt single action army. May as well go out in style. (Glock if I'm bing realistic)

I’ve got a beat-looking clone. That would probably be very stylish in a warlord’s holster.

Tough choice. My DW 1911 has been utterly reliable but so has my Beretta M9A1...My Beretta wins out.

M9A1 is so elegant as my skin melts off. A fine choice. +5 warlord points if its a LTT.

Glock 19 fits the bill but a suppressed Glock 44 just makes sense so you'll never run out of ammo. Weight and logistics may dictate what you have.

Suppressed G44 makes a lot of sense, and I’ve got one. As noted above, it may only get fired once.

Glock, Sig M17, or S&W 442, whichever I’m wearing at the moment. I only *need* it to punch a single primer.

If we’re doing it movie style, the protagonist should have a raggedy G19, and use it exclusively to execute his enemies and intimidate his peers.
