Only .40 xdm or g-21 sf and of course SD ammo they have no safetys to flip just aim and shoot. And shoot until the threat stops.....

+1 on my PF9, an LCR is a good answer but I don't know how much they weigh.

At close range? A hard left jab.

The detonator switch to the tactical nuclear weapon that I have stashed in my briefcase....
...well, we're talking about ultimate self-defense, right?.....

Following this scenario, probably a 380 and a head shot. Dark; close; under 16 oz; one shot. It will be like a flash-bang grenade in the face with powder burns to the eyes and, even if you miss, may buy enough time for follow on shots or to run like H#*L.

I'd throw a grenade and make a run for it...
We all know that a one shot stop is not always realistic. Thats why the experts practice 2-in the chest, one to the head. |

I'd pull out "old reliable" a 16 oz titanium framed single shot
firing a .50BMG loaded with 220 grain palladium plated pre-fragmented hollow magnesium bullet packed with phosphorus traveling at 3800 ft/s from a 5" barrel. Nice thing is that the BG will probably burn up without leaving more than a greasy stain on the concrete. If you time it correctly, you can use the recoil to split the skull of the bad guy behind you too! (I kid) |

"He is wearing a denim jacket and flanel shirt."
What color is the shirt? In the dark, are you sure it's not body armor? If you can tell it's flannel, it's not a dark alley. I've lived in and around cities for more than 50 years - D.C., Baltimore, Richmond. I don't go into alleys after dark. Having said all of that, at real close range I'd shoot 'em in the face and then worry about follow-ups. Anybody remember when the guys in Baltimore started a contest in the alley behind a bar? They used fishing rods to cast hot dog chunks down the alley in order to hook a rat. Really. You can't make this stuff up. Baltimore Bar Sponsors Fishing Contest - For Rats.

My first choice is the light saber. Mine weighs 14.2 oz and when turned on the full weight is 15.4 oz.
Taurus total titanium 5 shot .45Colt with 300 grain Hordady XTP. If the bullet doesn't hit him I can make my get away while he is blinded by the muzzle flash.

Tall order, but you can cheat over by a 2 or 3 ounces and carry a kahr pm40. A pm9 loaded will come in under weight.
A word to the wise, though. Don't trust any pistol caliber to do the job of a rifle caliber (one shot stop). Even hits from a rifle have a 50/50 chance of survival. |

So, who gets to vote on whether this is the "ultimate self-defense question, ever"? Or with the spelling, is this a trick question?
Btw, Colt Commander .45 acp. It is over your imposed weight limit but then it becomes the "ultimate self-defense answer, ever". |

9mm, 45, 357 - How about a 180gr bullet going 1300 fps out of a 10mm will take care of any a$$ w!@#$. And if you got a Glock 20 you still have 15 little friends to take care of any other alley rats.

The ultimate answer is always the same; do what you have to do to stop the attacker!
