- Hey everybody, today we are going to talk about the 3 guns you need to own now. And why do I say "now"? Look at the society around us, you know I'm not an alarmist, I'm not paranoid, I wouldn't have even considered myself a prepper up until a couple years ago, but look at what's going on. You're seeing fuel prices that are skyrocketing. If you know anything about our society and the way the world runs on petro fuel, when fuel prices go through the roof that drives everything else. Fuel prices will contribute to paralyzing us as a society. Coupled with food shortages and record inflation this inevitably leads to economic depression.
So, when people cannot get food, water and other necessities of life it will be an unfortunate, desperate survival situation. During a survival situation you will need guns and ammo to protect yourself and those you love, to protect what you have and to possibly use to provide for yourself and your family.
In this video are the 3 guns I have chosen for a survival situation based on their reliability, out of the box accuracy, popularity and parts availability as well as being relatively affordable.
If you don't own these you might want to go out and get them.
Thank you for making the choice to defend yourself and those you love. God bless you and yours! - Навчання та стиль

Thank you for the tip on the ruger 1022 long rifle.
Yes you are literally an alarmist... your channel depends on it. Im not saying that you are right or wrong to be an alarmist but don't lie to yourself or to other people.
Hahahahahhahaha... glocks are not that good and loses to most other guns on torture tests. You bought a lot of lies from fanbois and advertising. They really saw you coming.
Hi, I got a MP SW 15-22 is that good enough?
Honorable mention to a Mossberg 12 gauge. The Maverick 88 security 8 shot model is versatile, reliable, and cheap.
Thanks for the comment. I did have a hard time not putting a shotgun in the list, BUT the tipping point was how much .22 LR ammo that is easily carried and stored without the bulk of even .410 or the cost. Stay safe! God bless you and yours.
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE plus recoil is a factor for some people.
Not anymore
That's a fact, Jack!
I always kind of think I want a shot gun but then I remember that's another cartridge to stock....I'd rather have 2-3 similar ARs in my arsenal for parts as well along with less calibers to stock pile. My opinion ARs will do just fine in 90% of situations...oh of course a sidearm 9mm but whatever that's my preference but whatever works for you best.
Great choices honestly. A 22 is probably more versatile than a 12g in a survival situation anyway. Weight and cost of ammo is where the 22 shines.
Yes sir a Ruger 10/22 is hard to beat. Thanks for the comment and God bless U and yours!
Weight, cost, and sheer ammount of shots per limited space to take with you 👍. For about the same weight as 15 x 00Buck and less space, I can carry 250 22lr bullets. If I'm staying home, 12g all day (plus my AR10 cause im good with 308 out to 550+yds all day). But once I need to be on the move (on foot!) My 10/22 take down is one that's comming with me for sure.
I know this is TLDR, but I can't help myself. On .22 LR for hunting/survival.
If you're on the move and/or otherwise limited in what you can carry, that .22 can't be beat. Price and convenience too. It does start to lose it's shine if you're not limited, though. For hunting especially, there's almost always a way better tool for whatever you're doing.
That shot placement argument just doesn't hold up in real life. Yeah, it's technically true, but it just doesn't ever work in real life. You're not going to make up for the real world shortcomings of the cartridge with your leet skills, yo!
That thing of people saying that you could harvest a deer with a .22... yeah, of course you can kill almost anything with a 10/22. That doesn't mean you're going to be able to do it when you're stressed, hungry, and desperate when hunting pressure is high. Even if you succeed in killing the animal, the chances that you're going to be able to find it once it eventually dies from your perfectly placed shot is another big question mark.
Real talk, that 22 is good for small game. Small mammals, rodents, and birds perched or on the ground. And probably maxing out at 100 yards with the vast majority happening inside 50 yards.
@@hounddog4363 I appreciate the comment, but in the real world I have friends that exclusively hunt wild boar in the thickest of cover with only .22LR. Great comment and thoughts and definitely stick to what works best for you. In my experience it doesn’t take elite skill to shoot properly and effectively, just time in the field and practice with proper gun handling skills and marksmanship. A gun is just another tool to get the job done. God bless u and yours.
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE takes all kinds, I guess. I know that there are guys that hunt pigs with dogs to hold them and they finish them with knives, so I'm not one to declare things impossible just because I have a hard time picturing it. Feral hogs haven't made it up to where I live yet, so I think I'm gonna start with at least a 223 when they do. Especially since my hunting partner's a dachshund.
Three solid choices you have made. If I only had the ability to have three, they would definitely be in my sights. I trained and fought with the M4 and the M9 pistol so I do have those. I also trained with the Colt 1911 and have one of those in the night stand. I agree with the 10/22 as well. I have plain old off-the-shelf versions and I have also built a few that are worth about a grand, depending on their purpose. Since I am old and plan on fighting in place if the SHTF and world falls apart, I have also stocked up on other arms. I live quite a ways from society on 8 acres that butts up against thousands of acres of public land. My wife prefers her 38 revolver, so I have purchased a Henry 357 rifle to accompany the revolver rounds. I like the 9mm so I have also got an FX9 PCC. What I like about the pistol caliber rifles is that I can reload them with about 5 grains of powder and they shoot perfectly. Whereas, reloading my rifle rounds takes anywhere from 20 grains up to 60 grains depending on the caliber. So the PCC's get more bang for the buck if you reload. Anyway, if money is an issue, I do have a Rossi RS22 that is actually my "truck gun" and only cost me $109. It is reliable, light, and cheap enough that I don't care about it being banged around. It may not come with any accessory rails or anything, but it was so cheap, putting a rail on the bottom of the stock with some JB Weld made attachments possible.
Thank you for your service. Thanks for the comment also. God bless you and yours. Stay safe!
I definitely agree with your choices, especially in the AR! Any Glock is the way to go, mine are all .40 and 10mm! My shotgun is a Remington Tac 14 870 as a pack gun. I especially agree with you on the .22, especially with a good suppressor on it, for quietly handling tasks that louder guns can also do but draw alot of unwanted attention doing them! Good knives are a must, as well, and you might want to look into some archery gear, too! What most overlook is a way to carry the extra mags and tools necessary for surviving a fight, good load bearing equipment being very personal in nature! My slings are all dual point attachments that can be single point in seconds if necessary! My LBE is separate from my bug out bag, so I can drop the bag and still have my support gear for rifle and pistol!
Thanks for the comment. I would love to have a bull barrel on my 10/22 with a suppressor, maybe one day. Good information too. Knives, archery and LBE already in place, maybe a future video on those as well. God bless you and yours. Stay safe.
.40 and 10mm are horrible platforms in my opinion,9mm is widely accepted the perfect round for military and law enforcement
salty army, I have nothing against the 9mm but I'm not getting one when i already have 5 .40s and 10mms. They are certainly not horrible platform calibers, as you say, but quite a bit more versatile than the 9mm, and certainly better than the 9mm if you run into larger animals when you dont have a long gun. I'll stick with what I have!
I have similar choices by the types of ammo. I decided on my "go-to or work horse" rifle to be, the Diamond Back DB-15 with M-Lok and customized attachments: illuminated range scope, night vision, red dot, IR sight (night vision) , and visible laser sight (Yes, the rifle is still light weight and even laser calibrated for barrel-to-target). My choice of hand gun is a Ruger Security 9 with tactical light and laser (calibrated for barrel-to-target), and my side-kick rifle choice is a Savage Mark II with a visible laser sight; also laser calibrated for barrel-to-target.
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
I have a Savage A22 that's a similar setup as the original Ruger 10/22
Why do you need guns all guns sud be ban in because you need to sell that s your business you You are sick man
I like your picks, well rounded and solid choices. I don't own the Ruger, but I own a S&W mp 15-22. What I like about it is that it keeps all my controls uniform across the AR platform.
With a conversion bolt and mag, the AR 15 can also fire 22lr, leads to more cleaning but a viable thought for those saving size and weight.
✌️
All three are good choices. You mentioned having an extra barrel or two for the 10/22, which I consider a must. The rifling (and accuracy) permanently degrades quickly when the bore gets hot after putting 300 or 400 rounds thru it in a short amount of time. One of the extra barrels should be threaded at the muzzle so you have options of flash and sound suppression. A night scope (with the option of a night light that can be turned off with the scope still working) would be nice to have on one of your rifles, as well, so it might as well be mounted on the 10/22. The night scope would help spot a sniper with a night scope who happens to be looking at you.
Great thoughts and ideas. Thank U for the comment. God bless U and yours.
You can also just have an AR and companies make a kit you can drop in and it can shoot .22lr
22 lr barrels will never wear out in your lifetime, i dont care how many rounds you shoot through it. Heat, speed and friction degrades barrels and 22 lr has none of those . Theres been marlin model 60s thats have been tested with 100,000 rounds with no noticeable barrel wear.
@@stevenmiller461 You are welcome to see my old 10/22 barrel anytime. I saved it. That gun is so fun to shoot (20 to 30 round magazines) and the barrel gets very hot and the "lands" of the rifling have worn smooth. You can see where they were but the bore is polished. In the military they need to change barrels frequently on machine guns for the same reason. When you go to a gun show looking for a used rifle, bring a bullet of that caliber (not an entire cartridge) with you and see if it slides easily into the muzzle past the shoulder. If so, it's referred to as being "shot out" and if you buy that gun you may find the bullet "tumbles" at 100 yards when shooting paper targets.
I’m a long time fan of the Ruger 10/22. I own two, and I’ve never had a problem with either of them. While I’m also a fan of the AR-15, my choice is the Ruger Mini-thirty. The 7.62x.39 just has more punch. I also own a Chinese Paratrooper SKS Carbine that uses the same round . My pistol choice is the Glock 17. Bigger, longer barrel, and more accurate. Finally, if I have to choose 3, it would be my Remington 870 pump action in 20-gauge, my Ruger Mini-thirty, and my Glock 17 in 9mm Luger.
Thanks for the comment. I have an 870 in 20g 3 inch shells and love it. I just bought a home defense barrel for it in fact. Stay safe. God bless U and yours!
IMHO , and as a VNV who saw and fired a few in country . Even rusted and pitted ones. I think the SKS is the best " hitting " the bush rifle . Though slower to reload than a AK . You can carry many more rounds , in the same space . On stripper clips and with less weight . They always go bang !!
I ended up forgoing the purchass of a dedicated .22 rifle. In its place I got a cmmg .22 conversion kit for my AR-15; so now i basically have two guns in one. I do think a 10-22 is probably more reliable than the coversion kit but i like the wieght and bulk savings i get from only having one full lenth rifle... and that theoretically frees up space for a small breaching/riot shotgun or something else to take the number three spot.
There is definitely more than one way to skin a cat. I haven’t had good luck with .22 conversions, but that was years ago. Maybe they r better now. Thanks for the comment! God bless U and yours!
Good setup. I'd probably swap the 1022 for a PCC. Probably my CZ scorpion. Get accuracy, high round count and smaller package if youre on the move. But you can't go wrong any setup as long as you have something to protect yourself and your loved ones
Thanks! I agree. Stay safe. God bless U and yours!
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE Honestly I prefer a recurve bow and a hyper stealth gear I am a stealth type of a guy and also a 2-3 tazer guns this is perfect for disabling foes 1mm fisherman rope and os forth be smart stay out of politics pray to God keep your head down and watch what you post on YT FB IG and Twitter in that freedom of speech you are being watched monitored be careful watch what you say you do not need to express everything you think be smart!.
I love watching these videos to see what others takes are on this. I typically don't get swayed one way or the other. But you're right on with part of it. You carry a 9mm side arm, a CZ us a brilliant choice 1 type of ammo, 2 guns (best way to prep). And also, with the accuracy, you practice and you shoot well with it, then stick with it and plan accordingly.
@@revanvonheaven8270 Well if big Gov wants to watch me, they can see me giving them my middle finger. Needing to "watch" what we say is just suppressing our own right to speech
My brother has a 1022 that he got in the 70s that he put over 750k rounds (documented) through before he brought it to me to fix. He lived in Oregon for 20 years and he never cleaned it. All the free space in the action had compacted residue in it. He did drop oil in it when it got "sticky" but it kept going. I cleaned every bit of it out and put a new recoil spring in it and it's good as new. This falls into the "don't do this at home" category, but it showed me just what it's capable of.
Absolutely!!! This comment needs to be at the top and stay there. The 1022 is a very capable, dependable rifle. Thanks for sharing. God bless u and yours.
An AR-15, a 10/22, and a pistol (dealers choice) are my top three. I say dealers choice on the pistol because, while I agree with the ubiquitous nature of the G19, there are other options available as well. If I could make this a top 5 list, I would add a Mossberg 500-series shotty and a precision bolt-action rifle, preferably in a caliber that you are already using (22LR, .223, or 5.56).
Thanks for the insight and comment. God bless you and yours!
Great informative video. You were cool, calm, and collect, but conveyed The Importance of Being prepared. Took most of the words right out of my mouth. You can easily find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time very quickly, the city can turn upside down on a dime, I've lived it. Stay safe, keep a cool head, and always stay prepared.
Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours.
Thank you for the video very informative. I’m happy to know that I have two out of those three , I have lots of hand guns but I will lean to the one im more accurate with which is my Springfield 45 service model . Thanks again
This an awesome vid. I love the confidence you have in your boom sticks. I have the same ones and you make me feel the same confidence.
Thanks for the kind words. Great choices, be safe and God bless you and yours!
After watching this, you made me a fan of the 22 long rifle. I never really considered buying one before, but you made some great points about it.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, 22LR is used just about daily at my place. God bless U and yours. Stay safe!
22 LR has been really popular to first time gun buyers for some years now.
Excellent video. I like YOUR honest responses to people's comments. Most people seem to be afraid to address their true feelings on their channel when responding to comments. I like your candor and tell it like it is attitude (in your opinion). Cool. Signed: newly subbed.
Thanks for the comment. It must be the "native new yorker" in me, lol, that keeps me honest. God bless you and yours. Stay safe.
Excellent. Thank you very much ! Great advice.
Great video Anthony! +1000 on the 10-22. That would be my only 1 gun choice. Spot on good advice, with your choices, you have the ability to engage targets at +100 yds,(the AR) inside of 100 yds (the 10-22) and inside 25 yards (the Glock) and in a survival scenario, you need all those options. EDIT: I have all 3 in multiples.👍
Good deal. Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
I have some Bloomsburg loaded with slugs for my home defense and some other variations of 357s. For some reason criminals and other bad actors like to run when they see other people shooting at them. why is that.
I wanted to get a AR-15 a few years ago as my core rifle to build around, but finding ammo ,magazines, was so hard and when it was available the cost was like 1 dollar a round ! But there was plenty of 9mm and Russian 7.62x 39 , so I got a SKS carbine
Man, that’s expensive. Glad u got the sks. Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours.
hey Anthony, thank you for the informative video! I like your choices but I would have to add my own two cents, I think the shotgun will be better than the 1022 because number one the AR 15 has a 22 conversion kit that is just a bolt carrier that you can switch out and I can shoot 22 long rifle. The second reason is you can buy $150 shotgun and also a pack of those 12g caliber conversion thing which can shoot pretty much all popular handgun rounds including 9mm, 38spl, 357mag and 44mag!!
i mean for $20 you can buy a 12 to 9mm conversion thing and it will allow you to shoot 9mm out of your shotgun ! defiently a really great survival so pretty much for a cheap $150 shotgun + 12 caliber conversion kit (~100) , you will have 5 guns in 1 lol😊
Interesting stuff for sure! Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours. Stay safe.
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE I don't really know why I'm ROFLMAO, but I MUST hand this to you... you are exceptionally diplomatic.
Maybe it was the "12g caliber conversion thing" comment... IDK. I suppose it's not going to be a first choice for most, but could be practical in certain circumstances like, I'd rather have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.
Great video. I would agree on the 3 and have them all but I would add a Mossberg 590. Oh, and a good 4" revolver might be a good idea. S&W Models 10, 64, 19, 66 all come to mind.
Awesome video, Anthony!! Which Ruger 1022 is that by the way? Obviously, I know it’s got custom stuff, but the meat and potatoes anyways.
Spoken very well and true . Everyone is going crazy out here . Better to be ready for everything
Thanks for the comment. Stay safe. God bless u and yours.
Good choices. The only change I would consider are the Butler Creek magazines. I have owned a few of BC after market (.22) magazines. It has never been a good experience due to the multiple failures. I would recommend Ruger 25 round mags.
Interesting, I went with the BC because I read the Rugers were terrible, lol. Maybe we both got lucky. Thanks for your comment and God bless you and yours.
Watching this I feel confident that I have been doing what I should to prepare for shtf. I have a Saint Victor ar15, a 1911, a 10/22, a vr80 12ga, and three 9mm handguns. And ammo for all of them.
Good deal. Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours. Stay safe.
Great video and information. Thanks Tony
I chose the Marlin 60 over the Ruger for one reason; no mags to loose! There is a quick reloader on the market for them too. Very handy!
@@paullllehtx
You can load the tube magazine by hand. It just takes longer.
A detachable mag, once lost, gives you a single shot that is difficult to reload, unless you have spare mags. Most people don't think to buy spares for their 22s.
Another attribute of the Glock, any Glock is that you can tear it completely down and replace ANY part yourself.
4th thing you need is body armor. no not full plates, but a concealable breathable flexible body armor. full kit will get people who have weapons trained on you. if you can have something that can hide itself and protect you then yeah thats good. even small plates in book bags can be something you need in case someone aiming at your back in a crowd doesnt get that killing shot. the coolest kit ive see was a friend who got a flexible body armor where he jury rigged a holster under the armpit. with a shirt on sure you can see it print but as soon as he put on his jacket or a loose shirt it all vanished.
In my opinion an AK has an edge over the AR. It is far superior as a deer rifle and is plenty accurate to deal with a self defense scenario in SHTF.
Thanks for the comment. The AK is definitely a good choice. I think the AR just got the manufacturing precedence in America because of govt. contracts etc and that's what made it more popular. So, from an accessories availability standpoint I would have to go with the AR, but the AK nonetheless is a good choice too. Stay safe. God bless you and yours.
I agree the AK has an edge over the AR except for one category: Scavenging/Resupply.
In a SHTF resupply will be easier with an AR over an AK.
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE the AK is ''un-american'' though YUCK!
@@FreeMenDieFree AR are better rifles imho... more versatile optic options/attachments
how can you say that? when you can get a .300 BLK upper if you ''need'' 30 cal stopping power LOL SMH
I'm surprised that more people don't appreciate smaller bore shotguns for many of the same reasons. A 410 or 28 gauge are incredibly versatile. The biggest drawback is that they're not in common usage. Shells are far less common these days. The versatility of shotguns for hunting and defense can hardly be overstated.
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
They aren't really... other guns do things better... being a jack of all trades sucks because they can do a lot but is pretty shitty at everything they do.
My M9 Beretta goes bang too (from jungles of Panama to the sands of Iraq). As an Army Veteran, there is a reason why the military does not issue Glocks. Beretta and Sigs are better options, in my opinion
Yeah, military issue usually boils down to contract prices, not really about function. Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
There’s a reason the Navy SEALs, Delta, USSS Presidential Protection Detail, etc etc etc use Glocks and DO NOT issue SIG’s and Beretta’s anymore.
nice video , true I just bought all the 3 guns based on your video , thank you FOR DOING THIS .!!!!
Thanks for the tips. 👍
You’re welcome. Thanks for the comment. God bless U and yours!
I have a Springfield Armory M1a (civilian M14) chambered in .308. Because I have a stash of .308, I also have an FN SCAR 17 in 7.62x51. 7.62x51 will put down someone out past 800 yards. At close range, the target won't get up. I also have 5 1911s all chambered in .45 so ammo won't need to be specific to each gun. Also have a FN FNX .45 as my SHTF side arm. 15 rounds per magazine gives me a lot of firepower in the mag well. Have a HK VP9 cuz everyone has a 9mm I can hand to my spouse. Also have w shotguns, both 12 gauge, Remington 870 and VersaMax Tactical. That will handle close quarters combat just fine.
And I have at least 10 magazines per semi auto firearm. And 40 magazines for 1911s. Very important to have enough magazines. Rule of thumb is at least 5 mags per gun.
Yes glocks are very reliable but it's not the only reliable pistol. HK makes excellent pistols and know how to make military grade firearms. FN has been around since 1889 supplying military grade hardware around the world. They know how to make guns that will survive any military use.
Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours.
This is very helpful for newbies! The options out there are overwhelming, especially on a small budget. I want to cover the basics without spending all my time researching. Thanks!
Thank you Sir 🙏
Ruger 10/22 Stainless Takedown is the best version for survival. I still needed to do upgrades as Ruger still thinks it's 1964. #1 Fiber-optic sights. #2 Sling and sling posts. The OEM Ruger 25rd Mags are best.
Excellent picks! I would add a 22.pistol or revolver.and I think there are a couple AR’s from 5-7hundred $ I’d trust but that’s me I have a Radical socom that has been absolutely rock solid.but in general I agree 7-8 hundred $ range is good place to be! Thanks
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
12ga is a very good, it can be used for many thing's and you can fire all type of 12g ammo through it.
Yes, 12 gauge can be handy and versatile. Thanks for the comment. Stay safe. God bless U and yours.
great video ...... my sidearm is the Canik TP9 ( I have 2 the DA mod 2 and the SFX one with a 4.46 barrel and the sfx is 5.2 great guns sold my beretta collection to go with Canik ....

Those are great choices, but even though a marlin 60 isnt nearly as versatile as a 10/22, its just as reliable and more accurate out of the box. I do have a 10/22 and a bunch of 25 round bx mags, real fun to shoot.
Yes indeed. Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours.
Have both, The Marlin's trigger is terrible.
Good choices, i got a Glock 19x 5th gen, i want to get a 2nd one plus 2 AR 15's S&W MP 2 and 1 Benelly m 4. What do you think.
Love the breakdown! Keep these videos coming!
Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
Great advice! After those a pump 12 gauge with 18" and 28" barrels would be nice to have...
Right on. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Great video and something that everyone should be considering given the current state of America. As a former military soldier I most definitely agree on the AR platform but I chose to get it in 6.5 creedmoor. Survival not just with people but also being able to hunt for food if things get to that point. Hopefully it won't 🙏. I also agree with the glock hand gun I have glock 17 gen 5 but I also think a big bore hand gun is also necessary I got the Taurus raging hunter 460 magnum. Lastly a 12 gauge shotgun.
Thanks for the comment. Thank u for your service. God bless u and yours.
If you run out of 6.5 creed, good luck finding more. It might be a better round, but, I'd rather know I'm chambered in a round that isn't going to be difficult to find, or, use to barter with.
I like your set ups very well selected and can never go wrong with the 3 selected firearms you chose.
Thanks Jeff. Thanks for your comment and God bless you and yours.
I'm working on it! Right now, I'm defending with a Sig P365XL, Remington 870 Express Magnum and my 1970s S&W 38 Special. Wife has a Sig P238. I'm currently deciding on a Saint Victor, FN Tac3 or a Battle Arms Workhorse Patrol for my rifle. The hardest part is just deciding which one to go with.
Keep up the good work. God bless you and yours. Thanks for the comment.
I agree with a pump action shotgun for an honorable mention, I would also recommend a .22 pistol. I have a Ruger MK4 that is BOSS. My next gun on my list is a Ruger 10/22 takedown. I agree with all three of these options and they are my focus for options and definitely for ammo. I buy .22, .223 or 5.56 and 9mm every paycheck. Having 1000+ rds of each makes your setup that much more relevant. (picked up several hundred CCI stingers for my .22 and got all giddy)
Got all giddy?…………made me laugh!!
Thanks James. Thanks for your comment and God bless you and yours.
Have a 1022 20gauge shotgun and a 9mmall work really good so far forgot the 38 special for backup
Good deal. Thanks for the comment. Stay safe. God bless you and yours!

I'm definitely not a prepper but I'm currently buying dry foods in bulk for storage, planning for chickens (i want them good cheap eggs anyway, this is just a good fire under the ass to do it) and arming up for defense. I hope to hell shit don't hit the fan, but I'm in the suburbs and it doesn't take long for food to run out and civilization to descend into madness. I'd be a fool not to stock up. My thanks for the coverage, advice and warnings.
Yeah man, it isn’t looking good. We can only prepare so much, but definitely have to start some where. Thanks for the encouragement! Stay safe. God bless u and yours!
Chickens will make you a target in SHTF in the Suburbs. Bulk dry foods where neighbors can't see it is more optimal.
If you're buying and stockpiling food, and planning on chickens, You Are A Prepper... That's not a Bad Thing... But I get it, people tend to think of Prepping, in a Negative way... Everyone starts somewhere (and generally most start with Food Stores)... 👍👍👍
@@boatnut64 true lol, that tv show didn't help things either LOL.. but i do like to watch it ...i think i went overboard on the guns and ammo tho but whatever LOL.. gotta protect my family from ''savages''
@@boatnut64 i got a case of MRE im used to eating them because i was in the ARMY LOL.they dont taste that bad
I agree with all but the Ruger. I've done extensive testing and the S&W M&P 15-22 is the better platform. More accurate, more dependable, more modular, many parts are interchangeable with your AR and the muscle memory is exactly the same. Simply the better choice especially if mating it with an AR platform
Very cool. I haven't shot the 15-22, but would like to. Thanks for your comment and God bless you and yours.
Absolutely agree on all of these!
I have a Glock 43x and love it!
My brother was shocked and impressed on how well it fits and shoots on the range.
I agree the ar ✅️,a pistol ✅️, but 22lr 🤔 for the options you said?
Not good for deer, or protection , just squirrels and rabbits, on the otherhand ,a 12gauge shot gun has multiple size ammo, 4,5,6,71/2 shot for small game,00buck for protection and slugs for large game it covers the gambit with efficiency yes it doesn't hold as many rounds but isore versatile .
Thanks for the comment. To each his own - I prefer the 22LR for the reasons stated - overall it’s a better fit for me. U have to determine what’s right for your plan / most likely scenario. I can kill deer, hogs and any big game with a 22LR - it’s all about distance and placement, but there are trade offs in all choices. God bless u and yours!
Agree
whatever you own is your best tool for the job at hand ......🕛👀🇺🇸
I would say it would be the “most available” tool - maybe not the best. That’s why I’m saying go out and make sure u already have “the best tool” for the job that you know is already coming. Stay safe. God bless u and yours!

Love my g 19 gen 3. Had it for years and still as accurate and reliable the day I bought it I. 2008.
I strongly believe in the AR Platform and the Glock Platform..... however for a 3rd I would go with 12ga....pump.....at very least a .410 ga......
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
I have to disagree with you. I own a Ruger 10/22, but it'll still start to jam when it gets dirty after 200-500rds of ammo, but the Marlin 795 or Marlin model 60 won't have any problems for 5000+ rds without cleaning. I agree the 10/22 is more common and customizable which makes it a better choice, but it's NOT the most " reliable " 22lr rifle out there.
Thanks for the comment. Stay safe. God bless U and yours!
I've had 2 Ruger 10-22 . Same as you jam all the time. Tried all types of ammo. Only used factory magazines. Kept them clean and oiled. Got a Marlin 60 and has never had a jam in at least 2,000 rounds.
I have the 25 round ruger mags and they jam with high velocity rounds. The mags cost me a fortune. Very dissapointed
Agree, as well. Also, it's a simple design, but, flawed. The offset rail on the bolt carrier, for instance. I have a cheap Winchester Wildcat (semi auto). It'll shoot the Ruger to shame, and so much easier to field strip. Apart in 10 seconds, with no disassembly of the stock required. It uses the 10-22 mags, or, last round hold open with the win mags. Speaking of .... I do own a 22 win mag, as well. Better survival round, but....maybe harder to find, after I shoot my 10,000 rounds.
Also, I agree on having a 12 ga shotgun. Picked up a Stoger m3000. Basically, a $600 Benelli M2 tac.
You always need more, great video
I just picked up a Savage model 4C 22 bolt action rifle. I picked this over the 10/22 any day shoots fantastic and really nice
Colt Carbine, Sig P226, Benelli M4, and Sig P365 backup.
Thanks for the comment. Stay safe! God bless u and yours.
Thanks for the video! Here, in The People's Republic of Massachusetts, the tyrannical Attorney General has found a way to prohibit gun dealers from selling ARs/AKs and any Glock manufactured after 1998. Consequently, two of your primary three options are off the table for me. I've got the pistol and shotgun figured out (with a 10/22 a likely future acquisition), but continue to be perplexed by what to chosse for a decent semi-auto rifle option. I don't want a Mini-14/30, a PTR 32 is way too heavy (though I LOVE them!), a Tavor is pricey (but is probably a good option). I'm currently looking at a Henry Model X 357magnum lever gun and/or a Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm semi-auto rifle (both pistol caliber, but what can ya do? right?). Any feedback is appreciated and thanks for sharing your content! 🙂 (Subscribed!)
Maybe u can get a non M4 platform rifle chambered in 5.56 or 223? And Glocks were still good before 1998. U could always move states, lol. Thanks for the comment. God bless U and yours.
What a hellhole! I can’t even imagine living in a place like that!
I was going to say a good alternative for an AR15 if you are in one of the blue states that prohibits them would be a lever gun. I wonder what they think about the older style FN FAL type rifles as well (some of those are pretty tight). A .357 mag is an excellent choice because you would have versatility of firing .38sp or 38+Ps. But if you could find one in a rifle cartridge it may be a better option so you can get the longer range shots if needed (that is why .223/5.56 is so good). Even though the 30-30 has a reputation for nor shooting at longer ranges, you could still be effective 100-200yds and beyond and they are making them now to where you can put some furniture on them. For pistols, what does your state say about like a berretta 92FS or any non striker fired pistol? I guess something that is under 15rd mags which there is a plethora of mags. I would just move states HAHA
Henry makes a lever 223.
Maybe a Kel-Tec RDB-S. 16" carbine barrel in 23" bull pup, chambered in 5.56
What holster are you using for the Glock?
My three that I do have is Ruger ar 15, s&w 686 with red dot, and the ultimate survival tool the jts AK 12 with full choke and tricked out. The AK 12 will not let you down and you can use in it so many kinds of rounds for all purposes.
My 3 are AR15 (geissele super duty) glock 19, and a semi auto 308 (galil ace) as my priorities. I agree with the first 2 in this video but the 308 is more important in case I am going to take shots further out or hunting and shit like that and it can fill the self defense role as good as the AR. A 22 would be an honorable mention for me but mine is an AR7
These are definitely excellent choices. I think there's a good argument to be made for a pump 12 or 20 gauge shotgun as well. The AR-15 is the most versatile and capable tool.
There are plenty of pistols just as reliable and accurate as a Glock 19. The biggest advantage of a Glock 9mm in a SHTF situation is how ubiquitous they are. Glocks and glock magazines are everywhere. For that reason, I wanted a pistol compatible with the Glock ecosystem, but I wanted better sights, trigger, and ergonomics. I find stock Glocks somewhat lacking in those areas. This led me to get a Shadow Systems MR920. The combat model is about $200 more than a stock G19, but it's upgraded in every way.
Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours.
I've had my hellcat pro as my conceal carry for over a year now and I find that one to also be very good. It's size mainly but it's been accurate for me and feels great in my hand.
Good list, hard to argue with your logic. I’d go AK variant, 12g and any handgun you got.
Glock 19 is a solid choice for all reasons you mentioned.
Another to look at is the Sig P320. I have shot Glocks a lot (IDPA) , recently picked up a P320 and it's a sweet action. Also, with a lot of police depts in the US switching to it, as well as it being the model the US Army has made their standard issue. Parts availability, aftermarket accessories, common caliber, etc make this P320 an excellent shtf defensive pew pew.
Yeah man, great points and Sig makes some great guns. Thanks for the comment. God bless U and yours! Stay safe.
My SHTF pistol is my Sig AXG Scorpion for the reasons you stated. Army’s new gun, and police departments are using them…everyone and their mamma will be after G19 parts..there’s only so much to go around lol
My favorite is the 17. And the 43 is great for backup carry.
Amen to that! Great combinations. Stay safe. God bless U and yours!
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE same to you my friend!
Cool video thanks.
Thanks for your comment and God bless you and yours.
A question. If you have an ar15 could you use a .22 conversion kit? I read somewhere they work well
I agree with all 3 of them but I would step up the Glock to the 19x. If I could only have one it would be the handgun because of the fact of concealment. And you can have it on person even hands free alot better. When It comes to hunting for food I would not waist your time hunting. Because that's all you be doing is waisting time. I hunt all my life the time energy you put into hunting any animal not worth it. You would be better of to scavenge for food. And if you come across something like a rabbit or turkey 9mm will work in a pinch
Great points. Thanks for comment. God bless U and yours. Stay safe.
Yeah like two years ago - things went from bad to chaotic
Yes, and they can get there in a hurry, so be prepared. Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours!
Bravo, have the,AR 15..but I went with the G17 g4.,have always had a good old single shot 22,I know I should upgrade it.but I think your assessment of what's going on in the world is spot on. I think there is much worse coming.....stay safe stay strong,.
I think bear creek ARs are pretty reliable!
Palmetto State Armory makes a good affordable one too.

I cant argue with anything. All well made points. And i totally agree on the 3 pkatforms. Good thinking and analysis.
Thank you sir.
LaRue AR15 RAT stock and A-PEG grip are my favorite on the market. I have them on all of my ARs (just over 10).
Well, if the choice is only 3... Protect the Homestead: Beretta PX4 (reliable, high mag count, and I'm really good with it) ; 12g mosberg 500(no one walks towards the sound of it when you rack a round) ; and my AR10 in 308 (cause ammo weight doesn't matter if I'm home and you're not gonna see me when you go down).... But if I gotta be on the move. M&P Shield cause it's more portable than my full size Beretta, 10/22 takedown (I can carry ammo that will last me for weeks-months without breaking a sweat) and prob and odd choice for this... but my 22 revolver (backup hand gun, shoots same ammo as 10/22, also shoots 22 shorts/colibri/shot shells/ (extra cylinder adds magnum rounds) and the world will run out of ammo before it fails. For weight reasons though, prob smarter to carry a hatchet or one of my 10in kukri or boning knives as option 3.
Thanks for the comment. God bless u and yours.
Well, I can’t afford an AR15. I had 2 Korean War vets tell me that a .22lr is just as deadly as any other round. It’s all in shot placement. The .22 is quieter, ammo is gonna be more available than any other round, and you just have to be patient when you place your shots. If you have to bug out you will be able to carry ten times more rounds than any other caliber. As far as brand goes, I have the Marlin 60 and a Winchester M77. Both are proven rifles that I have owned for years. Never any problems.
*Everyone needs a shotgun!*
I added a stainless steel barrel on my 10/22. Not a fan of the Butler Creek 10/22 mags tho. I would suggest buying as many of the factory BX-22 mags that you can afford.
Thanks for the comment. 10/4 on the mags. God bless you and yours.

Some of us can’t afford to drop 700 on 1 gun I have a Winchester 1300 defender a 870 clone a Sccy cpx 2 with6 magazines a stoeger str9 and a Rossi 22 all with many rounds through them and all together less than his ar 15.

Good choices. I personally prefer the ar-7 over the Ruger for the compact breakdown. And for honorable mention I would definitely ad a .308 before a shotgun.
Cool. Thanks for your comment and God bless you and yours.
AR 15 556
Glock 9mm
Ruger 10-22LR

Yup, I agree. I like the idea of a Glock 17 for a MCK kit which makes it insanely accurate, and Glock 19 for concealed carry. I agree with your list.
@@TheProAer Thanks for the comment. Stay safe. God bless you and yours!
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE likewise my brother
good choices on those three but if it would have been four surely the versatility of a 12 gauge shotgun would have made the list
Yep a 12 is versatile for sure. Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours!
Agreed. Subbed.
What do think about the Beretta 92 for the sidearm
I feel like a ak would be the best you don’t need much for cleaning it out and compared to other guns it would probably survive mud dirt and other things compared to a ar i still will ar is really good for survival but if where talking apocalypse where you got to scavenge and you don’t know when you can clean your gun the next time ak might be the best
Good points! Stay safe. God bless u and yours.
Yea but these days the ammo is getting scarce these days for the AK
@@hillbillyhomestead1966 fair enough
@@hillbillyhomestead1966 once SHTF happens .223 and 556 will be scarce with everyone demanding it. When the ammo shortage was here I could still find 7.62x39 quicker than 556. Plus if you stock up before hand you should be good
I here ya we are stocked I can't stock anymore
I disagree with you on the prices for the AR. Most expensive AR can fail more than a cheap AR
Hey, this is America, you are free to disagree (for now at least on this subject). Thanks for the comment. God bless U and yours.
i somewhat agree i dont base it on price . i think if you get a good quality ''Upper'' from a respected brand Colt, BCM Daniel, PSA/FN CHF Uppers) you are good to go..
i had problems with my CORE15 AR-15 and it cost $800 brand new lol...i changed the BCG to a Palmetto Premium one and no FTE/ issues anymore LOL..So its not always Based on price but i honestly would not recommend their rifles lol they did have a great warranty tho...
