or heavily regulated in the alternative universe of this thread. Assume that for whatever reason, you wake up and your AR, AK, Glock, SIG, Model X, that can run semi-auto AND hi-capacity is no longer a legal option. (NOT trying to get into a "cold dead fingers" argument).

What would you pick as a defensive firearm? And why?

Remember, no semi AND hi-capacity.

Discuss...

First, please define hi-capacity for the purpose of this discussion.

Second, did you say "no semi AND hi-cap" meaning you could still have one or the other, but not both in the same firearm, or did you mean no semi-autos at all, AND no hi-capacity firearms at all (like a 12-shot revolver)?

I mean, I've carried a 10-shot semi-auto before, and I didn't feel overly limited. I guess I could carry 3 different 10-shot Glocks to get back to the equivalent of my full-capacity G19 and a spare mag... :supergrin:

Currently in my AIWB Uncle Mike as I read this at my home office desktop I have a Ruger GP100 and in my pocket a S&W Model 638. So I suppose in the reality nothing has changed in case an invader(s) choose unwisely to attack this house. Also my stock SKS is a mean hombre if one needs to step up in caliber.

I guess I’d have to carry a revolver for the first time in my life...

So I guess this is out?

 

[Diesel McBadass]

Id have my smith model 27. Awesome revolver.

Id have to give the ruger lcr x a look. Havent found a compact snub i like better.

 

[Quijibo]

Probably a Ruger GP100 4" and a lever gun chambered the same. (357)

 

[Struggle_Russ]

Still have shotguns.
M&P R8. Size is longer an issue cause it's just going to go OWB I guess. Also, I think it's big enough to hit them with when I run out of loaded cylinders.
I guess it'd be time to adopt the scout rifle mentality. Ruger scout rifle in .308.

Since I'm saying semi AND hi-cap, you could go 1911.

Think I saw somewhere/sometime that you were thinking of buying one.

It's not a semi so knock yourself out.

Which you might on deployment.

The 2nd thing you said. Meaning one or the other, but not both.

 

[TheDreadnought]

Revolver and shotgun. Old school.

Well stop for a moment and remember what was used before auto loaders came along, that would be your answer.

Mossberg 500 12 gauge
18.5 or 20 inch barrel
Marlin 336 30/30

Matchlocks? Handcannon? Miguillette?

I currently own 3 S&W J-Frames and carry a 642 more than anything else. I wouldn't be all too stressed if all I could own and carry were revolvers. I could see me ending up there on my own one these days anyway by the time I'm an old man.

No longarms?

Well, I guess I would be kicking myself for just having sold my 627PC this week. Now I'm down to only owning 6-shot .357s.

Did you have the 5" or the 2.75". Nice either way.

I previously had the 2.75" variant. One of those sold that I now miss. And no, there aren't many that I miss.

 

[Danny Reid]

4" S&W Model 29

Funny

In that case, I’d go back to carrying a 1911.
