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

Those older ‘tree bark’ style grips look so damn good…

Oh, what handgun? Glock in 9mm or .45acp. Just depends on what mood I’m in and what ammo happens to be lying around as I walk through the sad lonely streets with my shopping cart full of blankets.

What ever I find laying around .

Tack driver in the hands of a blind man with sonar hearing for sure.

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

I’d prefer to use a .308 soft point through my own medulla oblongata but since you said handgun I’m going with my Colt King Cobra .357 and a SJHP.

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

Howdy,

Clearly the only answer is a Beretta 93R in a fine SERPA holster.

Extra credit for those who pick up the reference.

How can we ever forget it. Sort of incomplete without a photoshopped picture, though.

Well, admittedly my CZ-75B would be my backup … to a Sub2000 carbine that uses the SAME magazines! There’s a 22-round mag in the carbine magwell & two 16-round mags in Fobus mag carriers on the forend, so there’s 54-rounds there before I even switch to the handgun.

… don’t bring a handgun to a carbine fight … youse guys w/ Glocks gotta ‘up your game’ to a compadre pistol-caliber carbine, no?

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.

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.

.22lr for me. :slight_smile:

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.

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

TXPO

Cross bow… crack off a round and everyone knows.

Glock 45.

Pretty much my first thought when I saw the thread.

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

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

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.
