If only 3 weapons I prefer to have:

Taurus PT99 9mm lots of defensive ammo around.
Ruger Mini14 223 capable of home defence and taking game up to Whitetail deer size.
Semi-auto shotgun 12ga. Good for hunting and home defence.

I can't say I blame you for that, Pop! They are sweet indeed, one of those items--like the 30-06 cartridge and the 1911 pistol--that are simply the very definition of perfection--no improvement is possible. I had a chance once, many years ago, to handle and shoot a Thompson. I've wanted one ever since.

Enzo_Guy · 10-15-2006, 01:24 PM

handgun: Para-Ordnance LXT LDA Carry with a 3.5" barrel
rifle: Weatherby Mark V in .300 Weatherby Magnum
shotgun: Reminton 11-87 12-gauge with 24" slug barrel

BIGBOOMER · 10-15-2006, 03:06 PM

Only three???

Wow, I can't even imagine that!!!
So, OK. I see many, if not most of the responses, are from the shtf angle, but I don't see anthing to suggest that in the original post, so I'll look at from a general view. For my purposes:
Marlin M1895 LTD-III 45/70
S&W M629 Mountain Gun (44 Mag)
AyA Matador 12ga double
However, since I don't bird hunt anymore, and since a shotgun would be a rather awkward defense gun in my house, I would prefer to replace the shotgun with my little Walther P-22, as a .22 would be more useful to me.
The Marlin 45/70 can be loaded for everything from small game to elephants, the Smith 44 likewise can be loaded from squib "cowboy loads" to 300gr big and/or nasty animal loads, with defense loads somewhere in between. The Mountain Gun is a little heavy for optimum CCW use, of course, but with its round butt and 4" bbl it can be used for that. The Marlin 45/70 is about as versatile of a big game rifle as you can get, IMO, and with the new electronic rangefinders, trajectory is no longer much of an issue for long range shots, should they become necessary. The 375 H&H is an excellent all around rifle, but my old creaky body appreciates the light weight of the Marlin 45/70.

Best regards, BIGBOOMER

BISHOP · 10-24-2006, 08:53 PM

Rifle:A M-4 with M-203 attachment
Shotgun: 10 ga. Double barrel w/ pistol grip
Pistol: I guess a revolver w/ a 9 in. barrel

flopshot · 10-24-2006, 09:12 PM

i'm assuming were not talking about a day in the field here, so if it came to three i already own,
colt AR15A2
remington 11-87 sp purpose
G17

and if it came down to only one, the shotgun wins.

Pat Hurley · 10-24-2006, 09:33 PM

Pistol - H&K USP Compact 9mm (w/ high cap mags)
Shotgun - Remington 870 Express
Rifle - Remington 700 BDL Stainless - .270

That should cover most every doomsday scenario I can think of. If I can only have three weapons, something has going terribly awry. In that case, I'd be willing to trade my rifle for 50 cases of Jim Beam Black.

Keep shopping at Costco, or buy your insurance from Progressive, and three guns may be all we end up with. Better yet, vote for democrats every chance you get and you'll end up with none.

God Bless America.

Handgun: Ruger SP101 .357 2-1/4" stainless (and I'm sure a comparable Smith would do just fine here as well).
If the choice is limited only to "pistols" I'd have to say a good old 1911 .45ACP would be just fine, too.

What? No M-79 blooper, Berto? With one of those all the others become superflous. Of course, milsurp ammo is getting pretty hard to find.
