Searcher451 has posted a poll on what gun would you carry in a SHTF scenario. You can find it here:

Vote early and vote often...wait...that's only if you live in Chicago

Lots of visitors but few voters thus far. You can't win if you don't vote, folks. And the prizes for this one are fabulous. Why, just look behind Curtain No. One and you'll find the glorious Ronco Special Thingamabob. It dices, it slices, it ... all could be yours.

Maybe the reason for the sparse response is that the question contains an assumption that makes the what-handgun-would-I-choose-to-carry issue purely academic, for me at least.

Walther does not make a .45.

No argument, MGMike. Lots of folks would love to see a .45 Walther. Given that fact, it still begs the question of what gun you'd take when and if TSHTF and all you had handy was something from your Walther collection.

 

[MGMike]

"...and all you had handy was something from your Walther collection."

In my case, inconceivable. With the exception of a P5 that resides in my briefcase, the Walthers are all in the safe. Parked outside the safe-- where it's very handy-- is something more truly useful if TSHTF: a Winchester M12 riot gun loaded with No. 4 Buck.

The pistol that goes with me everywhere would never be a Walther. It's a SIG/Sauer P220 --in .45, naturally.

I don't let my affection for Walthers muddle my thinking (it's plenty muddled enough as it is).

I have to agree with MGMike. I would be grabbing a .45auto before I would even look at any 9MM pistols.

 

[searcher451]

Sorry, guys. Sometimes you get to pick who you bring to the dance, and sometimes your mother decides.

 

[MGMike]

My mother always told me to be sure to take protection, but I don't think a Walther what she was referring to.

Well, Walther makes half of a .45

You know what I think would be cool? A single stack .45 walther along the lines of a slightly scaled up PPS. You know, sort of a walther version of glock's model 36. what do you think? would it sell?

I'd say probably no. If they had brought it out BEFORE Glock did, I would say it would fly off the shelves. But it would just be a copycat of a Glock if they brought it out now.

TSK---TSK No, I won't spill the beans here.

Summer here is hotter than hell. Yeah...it's a "dry heat". But still dang hot. I have to be able to wear jeans and a t-shirt and that limits me to very small guns. Actually, the 9MM makes a nice range plinker...but given the choice for personal defense and the weather to be able to carry one, I'll take the .45 every time
