Glock 20

This^^^^assuming ammo is plentiful.

Nothing better than 16 rounds of 10MM. Run out of ammo? Switch to .40 with a barrel change. Run out of .40? Switch to .357SIG with a barrel change. Run out of .357SIG? Switch to Dillon 9X25 with a barrel change.

Want to run .45ACP. Change out the top end in 7 seconds. (and the magazine).

There you go.

USP Tactical or the Walther P99.

silverstang23 · July 7, 2013, 08:16 PM

I would want to take my Sig 229

Hunter Customs · July 8, 2013, 07:31 AM

I would choose a 1911, it served me well in 1968 and I have no reason to not trust one now.
If I could take my own gun it would be the one in the picture.

Glock 17 or M&P 9

Shadow9mm · July 8, 2013, 08:49 AM

Sig P226 in 9mm, had one, it was accurate and utterly reliable and fed anything i put in it. 2nd would be a G17, light gun, great capacity. I love the 1911 but feel that the extra capacity both in hte gun and with what i can carry in 9mm for a GTW gun could make all the difference.

publius · July 9, 2013, 02:20 PM

According to my rank.

Captain & below- Glock 17

Major & above- Browning Hi-Power.

Water-Man · July 9, 2013, 04:31 PM

M&P45 Mid Sized

Billy the Kidder · July 9, 2013, 08:32 PM

Off the list, the Glock 17. The guns I own? A Glock 34, an AR15 or my Mk III Hunter.

iraiam · July 10, 2013, 09:54 PM

I'll trust my life to a Beretta M9/92fs, Glock 21, and a couple Ruger and S&W .357 revolvers.

I have owned 3 different $1K 1911s, they all jammed more than I find acceptable.

dakota.potts · July 10, 2013, 10:14 PM

Probably my CZ 75. Very sweet shooting. Almost no muzzle flip. Easy for me to fire one handed even weak hand.

I dislike safeties. I dislike the M9 safety even more.

I would probably also trust my life to a Glock or Sig 250 or 226. 1911 is nice too but my hands are too small for double stack magazines and I'd want more than 8 rounds.

CCCLVII · July 10, 2013, 11:33 PM

A revolver in 357 magnum. I think one of the 8 shot S&W revolvers would workwell..

RsqVet · July 11, 2013, 02:21 AM

1911 and / or Smith 625 3 inch for super adverse conditons or for sleeping.

10mm4ever · July 13, 2013, 09:19 PM

Honestly, I'd be far happier if I could choose my rifle.

jerryd · July 15, 2013, 11:15 AM

Give me my old 1911 from RVN 1968.

SC4006 · July 15, 2013, 11:34 AM

Probably a glock 20

TheBear · July 15, 2013, 01:09 PM

M-11 AKA Sig 228. I carried one guarding brass, and I loved it.

UncleEd · July 15, 2013, 01:50 PM

Johnny Mack Brown's P-Model Colt. What's not to like about a 50 shot .45 Colt.

Praetoriani · July 19, 2013, 08:39 PM

HK USP .45

arktravler · July 22, 2013, 09:25 AM

I pretty much favor my HK45

grizz223 · July 22, 2013, 10:01 AM

Well since I potentially go into battle every day I will go with my Glock 19 as issued by my department. The funny parts is I carry a 1911 off duty so either one would be good.

maccj5 · July 22, 2013, 04:14 PM

i would take a glock 32-- stupid easy field take down
reliable and with my conversions i can shoot,
357 sig- 40 s&w- 9mm -and 22 lr
lots of options in the field.

Glockstar .40 · July 22, 2013, 05:33 PM
