Once you're in your first firefight you'll figure out real quick that you really want some kind of assault rifle or battle rifle with the extra weight in ammo rather than any handgun you can think of. If someone makes you take a handgun, take the lightest and smallest one they'll let you carry.

If you have to go to war a sidearm is totally irrelevant. Doesn't really matter what you carry, it's just a "feel-good" item and won't make any difference at all if you're reduced to that level.
