[ARCHIVED THREAD] - SHTF back up pistol for your AR?

Posted: 1/17/2002 10:35:15 AM EDT

I'd like to know what would be your back up for your AR-15 it was SHTF time? Mostly used as a back up for when you need to reloaded your mags and in places where your rifle would be a little to big?

Stainless Beretta 92FS because it's what I got. Great pistol but if I had my choice, it'd be an HK USP45 Tactical or a 1911 of some sort. Can't beat the stopping power of a .45ACP flying ashtray.

Wilson Combat 1911. When i can afford one.[:(]

SIG P226 with a boatload of 15rnd factory mags.

An AR pistol, what else! [:)]

Or a Glock- you do have to carry it along with everything eles, after all.

AR_Rifle, that's dead sexy, but do you have a holster that will fit it?

Posted: 1/17/2002 11:00:56 AM EDT

Ideally, I'd want another Beretta 92FS in any finish, with at least 3 15rd mags. For now, my Springfeild 1911A1 Loaded will suffice. :)

the best back up for an AR is another AR

Yes....provided by Walther....but not with the TAC light on. I have to remove it and the mount to be able to fit it inside. The laser is OK to go with the holster.

Where is the bayo lug and can opener?

How about a Tec 9 with 50 round clips ?
Cheap and effective.
Other wise a AR Shorty would be my choice.

Something make by either Lorcin or Jennings.

Currently, Glock 30, may soon be a HK USP45 Tactical though!

I'd be carrying this one, with about a half dozen mags:

My Beretta 92FS. It works every time, all the time.

So far it has never choked on any type of ammo I feed it.

H&K USP45. Haven't pinned down which I like better yet, my fullsizes (2+yrs) or my compact (less than a month), but it would be one of the two. Who knows, though, when I lay my paws on a USP Tactical, my whole world may change. One thing is certain--my sidearm will be a USP in 45.

SIG 220 w/ 5 8 rd magazines. I love that pistol!!

Want to get an HK Socom or full-sized USP sometime later. Who knows, my birthday is coming up in May.[;)]

Easy- Any 6" barreled 357 mag revolver- No clips to worry about, can use 38's or full load 357- Wife or older child can use in an emergency with little or no training. 6 in- 6 out - easy as pie [sniper]

I'd take two extra 30 round mags or an extra quart of water over the pistol and all the paraphanelia.

Yup...me too...in .40S&W. Don't have the extra goodies yet (looking at the laser now) but have installed Meprolites. Sweet rig. Easily my best pistol.

Good picture too...
