I'd escaped from North Korea-alifornia five years ago. Bought my HK VP9 right after I got my new state's drivers license. No BFSC, no 10 day wait, no high cap magazine ban, no 1 gun a month, no assault weapon ban. Picked it out, 10 minutes to do the federal form and background check, and pay for it. Walk out the door. Got my CCW. My new home state has constitutional carry so no permit for either concealed or open carry. I got my CCW as it makes buying a new gun faster. You don't need another background check as you already got a deep background checked already. And 37 other states honor my CCW. It's also a "shall issue" state. It's not based on how much you donated to the sheriff's re-election campaign. To hellnwith North Korea-alifornia.
You can literally just drive East. There are actual roads that run al the way to the Atlantic. Put your stuff in the car and drive. Freedom is just over the horizon.
I'm just an Army grunt, but I have very close to the same 5 core weapons. Only difference is my go-to AR is chambered in .308 and the reason I went that route is being a remote mountain dweller, with more big critter threat than 2 legged threat and rolling solo, I want my primary weapon to pack a heavier punch at a better range than 5.56 offers. That being said if I were urban/suburban with more potential people threats in much closer ranges, I would deff be going for the 5.56 as my primary fighting weapon. Evaluate your environment/threats/needs and adjust accordingly.
@Brooklyn Boi Good thing I don't think that. If you read what I posted you'll see that I think for being alone in mountainous terrain where longer range engagements are more likely the 308 is a better option than the 5.56/223 and for suburban/urban the 5.56 is where it's at. I would rather have a squad of joes myself, but for personal security out here in the mountains of nowhereville that would be well beyond my budget.
Shotgun is hands down the most versatile weapon ever, Birds, doors, deer, people, butterflies.... its litterally kills anything with the change of a shell
@kaidiya2403 maybe you're misunderstanding the context so I'll help you, i was saying it's the most versatile single firearm you can grab, being a 12 guage .
This is my fire arm philosophy as well. I also have a rule of having 1 rifle and 1 handgun for everyone in the house with enough mags and ammo to support them. … great vid-ea
I found out from having to evacuate during Hurricane Florence that weight and concealment are a premium. In emergency disaster areas there are also, restrictions to carry that make it difficult to comply with the letter of the law versus protecting your family. We evacuated by boat with the Coast Guard flying above us. I was able to grab my BOB and a bag of food with my wife and kids carrying duffel bags with bare minimum clothes. The Northeast Cape Fear went 9' above our front yard and stayed up for over 14 days. We evacuated to my parents house about a mile from us but, were completely cut off from town due to flooding. We were surrounded by water for two weeks and running low on food. We ate out of the food trucks once the water dropped low enough to drive through into town. I developed a nasty staff infection from fire ant bites while walking in the flood water. I was treated at the emergency hospital tent they had setup in town. The Doctor said I had one of the nastiest infections she had seen as the back of my leg looked like hamburger meat. I share this as something for everyone to think about because it has changed how I prepare if we need to evacuate in the future.
I would always add a decent air rifle, particularly a pump type that does not require c02 cartridges. You can keep tens of thousands of bb's for almost no cost and be able to hunt lots of small game anywhere without making nearly any sound at all.
I 100% agree and I'm looking for an air rifle that's good for it myself. The biggest thing I've run into is the bigger ones with CO2 can take out anything, the smaller pump ones can take out small game and the compact one's won't do anything. The added weight and bulk of the big and mid one's can be negated by a .22 lr rifle so it's just the best option in my book. Plus with a henry AR 7 they take up no space.
Yes, if you’re a gun owner you should have air guns. I can target shoot with my Crossman 1377 pistol in my garage when it’s 3 feet of snow outside. Total cost about 75 dollars these days for pistol, and pellets.
This made me feel good about myself, this is pretty much my same set up. It just always seemed to make sense to me, so it's cool to know I was on the right path.
I concur on everything, I spent 10 years in Alaska and my 870 Tactical was #1 tool for Bear defense. Carried a Glock 19 since the mid 90s state side and overseas, and think everybody should own an AR and Glock 19, and should shoot and train with them. I also think everyone should be trained in TCCC, because the life you save maybe you or your family.
So, no one loves the Ruger SBH or Red Hawk . 44 magnum with appropriate Buffalo Bore rounds. For anything on 2 or 4 legs, and I mean Sasquatch, too. Just saying.....
Totally agree makes sense. Solid list. I also like how you have the “basics” model for each gun; not tricked out with $2000 worth of extras, just the basics of what you need that would serve everyone well.
As someone who was not in the military or a “gun nut” but a hunter and sometime shooter, I’m really close on these. I have the Taurus G2C for my handgun, .270 for my rifle, REM 870 for my shotgun, and an old Remington .22. I don’t have a AR-style rifle yet, but I’ve got my eye, and budget, set on a couple. Thanks for great videos like these.
Good video. No nonsense. That's pretty much the same advice I give to every "new" person I meet. Don't get a gun you don't need, or that has exotic ammo, and don't start modifying it before you learn to shoot it well just the way it came from the factory. Like others have said, a .22LR or Mag revolver is the only other on my list. They're great for teaching people how to shoot.
I do like having an 8 shot 357. They are concealable and you get pretty insane ballistics for defense or even deer hunting. I like the reliability of revolver too. My Nightguard has had malfuncations from in 8 years whereas my glock19 has at least one about every other range session. Not to mention all 357s shoot 38 specials
Well he's not a Crenshaw. For a Sailor that is known to abandon perfectly good aircraft he's not the worst. Said any poor slob who pulled shore patrol or heaven Forbid 🚫 gate guard at NATTC Memphis. 😂 Also an excellent communicator and natural instructor. He could have been an AFTA grad if he wanted to. Crenshaw? 😂🤣😂 no.
Agreed. I'm in your camp on this. I have 4 of 5. You just solidified my choice on the other one. The .308. Been wanting that one for a while. Time to getter done. Semper Fi.
A 308 imho has a long and expensive learning curve and is not really necessary for a suburban resident. In addition the ar will perform most of the reasonably long game hunting.
the 5.56 is a .22 caliber. if you think that is acceptable for big game hunting I disagree. Good chance you NOT recover the animal or it will suffer (deer is all it is legal for in some states - some not - it's to small) Deer, black bear, elk, moose, Brown bear, sheep, goat, antelope, etc it is not a legal round (with the exception of deer in some states which I think it should not be) I have seen and heard of alot of lost deer because the person used a 5.56 - not acceptable. @@butchie2752
Honorable mention would be a pcc or AR chambered in 9mm, specifically one that accepts the same mags as your pistol. Magazine and ammo compatibility can really save your ass and your wallet. Great video!
I personally don't see the point in a pcc in 9mm if it's only semi auto. You get more accuracy and or capacity but that is a weak round to carry in a larger platform. What's your intended use? in all sincerity, I'm curious. Nothing but love
@futuremlbplayer10 He gave one of the primary reasons, which is ammunuion affordability. You can get decent quality 9mm for as low as 25 cents a round, whereas decent 556 ammo would cost 3 times as much. Also if your primary weapon (rifle) goes down, you're not sitting there with a bunch of ammo you can't use.
@@faitaccompli5878 This is something a lot of preppers do not think about--redundancy. There is a principle that 2 is 1 and 1 is 0. I have 2 ruger 10/22 rifles and an AR-15 conversion .22lr kit for my AR-15. So if one or more of my .22lr firearms breaks, I still have backups. Otherwise, I have a ton of worthless ammo. I actually think having a 9mm kit for an AR-15 is smart. I didn't even know you could do that...lol
@@polletpower I agree, I'm partial to 9mm though, it's a very versatile round. If you have a 9mm carbine, 9mm sidearm, and a 9mm backup (ankle or back carry) you're good to go.
Out of all the channels that give their weapons recommendations, I agree with your choices the most. Your explanations for each one made perfect sense to me.
I agree completely and have many of these in my collection, the one that surprised me and changed my mind about the caliber the most was the 10/22. I had plinked around with some 22s in the past but pretty much went right into center fire calibers when I first started to build my collection, but I found a stainless 10/22 takedown model on sale at my local gun shop one day that I absolutely could not pass up for the price. And that thing is an absolute blast to shoot, has helped me acclimate several people to shooting and has more accessories available than you can shake a stick at. Not to mention the takedown function paired with a magpul stock setup makes the PERFECT backpack/survival rifle.
I have 2 12g shotguns (870/Tokarev semiauto), 2 AR15s (one pistol, one 18" heavy barrel), several handguns (.45, 2x9mm, .357, 2x.22). I still need a 10/22 and a .308 rifles and I'd prefer both to be bolt guns....
For CCW I'd go with a micro-subcompact. I carry a Sig-P365 & even that little thing prints. I started buying my shirts one size larger but, I still feel like I'm printing. It's surprisingly accurate for a little 3.2 inch barrel. It's not a nail driver but, it's close.
Good stuff, I would have to up my count to six guns and throw in a 22lr pistol because even the youngest or weakest individual can most likely can shoot and train with inexpensively
This subjects been beaten to death before through the years and you are exactly on par with most census on 5 best guns if you could only pick 5 to have. The shotgun is the most versatile of all those weapons but we all know it lacks capacity. Those are my top 5 except brands differ alittle. If there was 6 on the list I would definitely add a lever action probably in 30-30.
The other thing you get from the scattergun is the ability to hunt in places that don't allow rifles. The shotgun is the most versatile of the firearms. Hunt birds with the right shot size, hunt deer with slugs, and - in a pinch - use it for self-defense with the appropriate loads for that task as well.
I am just a city boy from Oklahoma. Then moved to the country as a teenager. I was a Cub scout, Webelos then became a Boy scout. All five guns you picked I picked almost the same except I chose an AK for more durability.
I love the 1022 . The problem with it is that they won't run dirty . The remington speedmaster although tube fed will run dirty. So will the browning ba22.
Deputy Fatally Shot Off Duty Officer ( WHO IS THE HOME OWNER THE CAR-JACKER AND HOME INVADER CAME TO ) - THE SHERIFF SHOOTS GOOD GUY DEAD !!! Clark County sheriff's Office Jan 29-2022 th-cam.com/video/hg5h4Iaf21o/w-d-xo.html Vancouver, Clark County, Washington --- On Saturday, January 29, 2022 around 2014 hours police responded to Chevron, 9810 NE 117th Avenue, Vancouver, for an armed robbery that just occurred. The caller reported a 23-24YOA white male reportedly produced a handgun, pointed the firearm at the clerk’s chest and demanded money. The suspect fled the scene in a stolen dark-colored Mercedes passenger car with several hundred dollars. Twelve minutes later, the armed robbery suspect was intercepted by police traveling northbound on I-205. The robbery suspect failed to stop for police and the suspect eluded officer’s apprehension attempts. The robbery suspect eluded officers for several miles and eventually exited I5 toward the City of Battle Ground, Washington where assisting officers successfully deployed spike strips to immobilize the vehicle. The robbery suspect then exited the vehicle and fled on foot to avoid apprehension. As assisting officers established containment, a resident in the Battle Ground area called 911 reporting a lone male, coincidentally matching the description of the robbery suspect, was pounding on their front door asking for assistance because he had just been involved in a collision. The female caller told emergency dispatch her husband was an armed off-duty Vancouver Police Officer and had exited their residence onto the driveway in front of their home in an attempt to detain the suspect for responding officers. The suspect then became aggressive and engaged in a physical fight with the off-duty officer while the female caller was still on the phone with emergency dispatch. The off-duty officer lost control of his firearm and suffered several stab wounds during the struggle with the suspect. The suspect broke free from the struggle and ran toward the officer’s residence which was occupied by the officer’s wife, who was still on the phone with emergency dispatch. The off-duty officer was able to recover his firearm that he lost control of during the struggle then ran after the suspect who was attempting to enter his home while still in possession of the instrument used to stab him. Within seconds of responding law enforcement officers arriving on scene, one Clark County Deputy Sheriff fired several rounds from a rifle striking the off-duty officer. The off-duty officer/homeowner collapsed on his front porch before responding officers were able to determine he was the homeowner and not the alleged robbery suspect. The suspect surrendered to police moments later and was taken into custody without incident. Officers attempted to provide emergency trauma care to the off-duty officer, but they were unable to stabilize him. The deceased off-duty Vancouver Police Officer has been identified as 52YOA Donald Sahota.
@@funkfarmer7125 Same. I'm way up in the mountains, and I still sleep with a 9mm under the pillow and the M4 nearby. About once a week I take her out and do a few drills, mostly muscle memory at this point, but I also like to trial a mix of factory and custom loads through the old girl to see if anything makes her jam up. I swear it's one of those guns that just never quits on a guy. I will admit to having a 14" 870 as a backup backup in the bedroom closet, but so far I'd rather have the luxury of just an astounding amount of semi auto firepower at my fingertips when there's no time to be fumbling around with a pump. The 9 gets me to the m4, the M4 gets me to the vault, and the vault can set up a small army. I sleep like a baby every night even being miles from anyone who's not kin.
I think a 6th option would be a wheel gun. Something that shoots duel caliber rounds Like a 38/357 or 44sp/44m. Because like you said rounds can be hard to come by. So doubling your chance of getting rounds is always a + .
I'm 4 for 5 so far, if you discount the antique revolver, etc. Thank you for this channel. I've been binge watching your older episodes and podcasts trying to catch up. The only problem, I can't finish a podcast episode until after i do my workout.
@@justing42 so. I'll start watching the episode, and by about halfway through, I'll start feeling like i have to put it down and go for a run or a hike or something. Then ill finish the episode when I'm done. It's really motivating for me, thats all.
I am no Seal but am a gunsmith. I agree with your 5 gun arsenal. If I was the last guy on the planet and could only have one gun it would be a Ruger stainless M77 Mark II all weather in 30-06 with sights. Preferably the model with the skeletonised synthetic stock also known as the canoe paddle. I would want a scope preferably a Leupold 3-9x40 scope. If the scope fails I can remove the scope with a pocket knife and go back to open sights. The Ruger has the least moving parts and all those parts are very robust. The firing pin can be removed with anything that will fit through the hole above the sear on the bolt. Even a piece of beach grass or small twig. The rings are bomb proof as well as being quick detachable in case the scope went out of service. A Leupold 3-9 would allow me to engage game out to 500 yards. My one gun arsenal for wilderness survival. The 30-06 has the power and ammo available that is suitable for small varmints to elephants. The only thing it really needs to prepare it is the rings lapped straight and round. For me I would give it a 2 pound trigger job but it is still very usable as it comes out of the box.
I kinda like PCC's for inside the home defense. Little bit smaller so more manueverable and a bit higher magazine capacity. Just a preference I guess. I enjoyed the video and thank you
I agree with that. I have a KP-9 for HD. I have replaced almost everything and put a Holosun red dot with a 1500 lumen flashlight. It is crazy front heavy, but little recoil and accurate.
I like the selection, you can add an 18” barrel to the shotgun for more self defense application, add lights, lasers etc. Love the podcast with Ritland and I share your faith and your commitment to your spouse👍🙏
I think a shotgun is the best home defense choice. loaded with 00 or 4 buckshot. Not as a nightstand choice, but if you are awake my goto would be a shotgun. what is your choice. @@1John3.8
I agree 100% with the ‘Must have’ list you came up with. Simple but most definitely necessary pieces. Love the content brother. Love what you do. Keep up the great work.
Pump Action shot guns are by far the most versatile of the guns. Short range to mid range. You can pretty much put anything in projectile wise in the case ranging from salt, bb's, slugs, rubber pellets to incendiary rounds. A round for most situations.
@@Queensryche1 that 700. The more something heats up the less it shoots. Universal. Sure it’s still good at 2-300 but put a say 10 or 12” plate out at 5-600 if that’s your thing and send 10 down within 60 seconds. See what happens to the next 10. Just curious just a little science experiment.
I like your list. I got no problem with mp. I’m a Glock guy but hey mp works. But even when you gotta hump distance and you’d love to have a lighter kit there’s a reason they still give you a heavy barrel for long guns.
12 ga. shotties trump all in this regard. As long as you can get primers (or make them) then you can use all sorts of crap as propellant, and use anything and everything as projectiles. Rusty old nuts and bolts, nails, ball bearings, hell-even rock salt! You can use match heads as propellant. Barbecue charcoal and tree stump remover (potassium nitrate) can be used as propellant as well. Reliable primers are the difficult part, but shotguns have EVERYTHING else going for them because when you're all out of ammo and nobody will sell you any (or nobody has any) then you can always improvise!
@@devilsoffspring5519 Agree very much. Especially when you consider all the ammo options as you stated as well as the ability to change barrels and chokes.
@@twwtb I didn't really mean that though, I just meant the ability to improvise ammo when there's nothing available. I didn't mean being specific, just having anything at all to shoot at someone in self defense. Nothing to do with all that "right tool for the job" business you hear gun nut types going on and on about all the time, just something, anything, to shoot with.
Disagree the AR & 22LR... You Can Get a 22LR adaptor for your AR & Have 2 Guns in 1 then Use Your 5th Gun to be Some kind of Bear Gun Pistol Like a 10MM that can Also Shoot 40mm.
I like ur picks one because I'm close to ur list. Big fan of 22's, Mossburge and AR. Just don't have a nice bolt action rifle. Big fan of Ruger reliable not expensive and American made thanks for ur practical perspective 👍
Many thanks for the simple, straightforward advice - my current 5 are very close in philosophy - SigP320 9mm - Ruger American .308 - Ruger 10/22 - Remington 870 in 20 Gauge - AR15
It's a good list honestly. Pistol, long rifle, small game rifle, shotgun, mid rifle. Whatever you need is accounted for including just fun days at the range. Practical with common rounds and utility in mind. My list is a bit different just due to personal preference (AK instead of an AR) but the list is solid and shows what you should pay attention to.
I also have an AK; but once you start really training with it, you realize all your biggest issues are solved by the AR platform. It's just easier to use and get fast with on all the skills.
Those were the first 5, although my friend talked me into getting a .40 cal pistol. The only thing I would add is a mini gun. You can do a lot with one of those.... 😏👍
A friend of mine who is a police officer recommended I get something in .40 s&w because it's one of the main calibers law enforcement uses, great knock down power and will always be on the shelf when everything else is sold out.
@@alrich7589 that part about knock down power and always on the shelves is absolutely correct, I handload my carry ammo, use basically a really slow pistol/12g powder got some pulled hst and gold dots, loaded to over 1100 fps(hadem up to 1200 but stay at 11, easier on the gun), I will say a compact 40 Is a handful if you font have strong hands and can be hard to shoot but once u got it....man a 180gr bullet breaking 1100 in .4p cal is in a diffrent league than a 115gr 9mm(vs10mil aka 40cal) doin about the same, after a decade of g23 my 19x I swear in could drive tracks with, very very quickly, for a novice I'd def rec a 19 or 17 something 9mm, but ill.always be 40, 40 is what's considered a high pressure round a lot of people dont know that, basically a magnum, cant remember the psi but it's quite a but more than 9, 380. And so on
Great video. My rule is 1 pistol and 1 AR-15 at minimum. I'm not into hunting so those other rifles aren't needed. Self-defense and combat (SHTF scenarios). I don't desire to own a bunch of guns. Most SF guys I follow say just train / master your 1 pistol and 1 AR. I will get another pistol though. I want that War Poet MR920. My CCW is a G19 Gen 5 and my AR is a SA Saint Victor 5.56. Love em all.
Solid selection. I personally would increase the list to 7 adding a Marlin 22 Bolt, and a Ruger 22 pistol. Ammunition is expensive and you can plink all day with these 22 caliber guns. Maybe increase it to 8 and add a Mini 14. Yeah I guess I can always rationalize buying more guns or guitars, where the perfect amount of either is N +1, where N = the amount you have now.
No on mini. Is and always has been pointless inferior option except if you needed a folder. Only need a 22 pistol with subs and a can if defending/… base in a shtf world.
This year I added break barrel 177 air rifles to my arsenal. The 22 lr is sometimes too large for squirrels and small birds. A quality break barrel 177 rifle fills that niche. With the price of ammo going up and up the lead pellets are quite a bargain.
I dont like the Mossberg 500. I have owned 2 and the safety on them BROKE....both of them. The 870 is a superior gun in every other way plus its far more universal and prolific, youll find them everywhere for parts and such....
The Glock 23 I stick with only because I’ve always shot 40 and I’ve got a ton of rounds. The 23 and 19 is the same frame. My 308 is the ar10 my bolt gun is a 243 my .22 is a Winchester model 75 and my shotgun is a toss up lol because I love my a-5’s but I can’t shoot steel out of them so I also need my benelli nova
I have an Ak47 as well because 7.62x39mm is a common round and it 7.62x39mm is a great cqb round. Not as powerful as .308 but you get the same capacity of an ar15 and still sling. 30 cal bullets.
Important in the case of a third world war or homeland invasion. It would be good to learn how to use Russian or Chinese weaponry, I've been studying their artillery for a while which they use heavily. Doesn't look too hard so far.
@@pliskenx51mm83 Maybe right off the rip. Tactical nukes can be smuggled in the same as kilos of blow through the border. At this point we may infiltrated. We could be hit and there may not be nuclear retaliation on our part which would suck. I've been looking into cases of espionage and corruption, let me tell you it has been getting worse. We've had breaches in everything and this has gotten worse the past 10 years. Russia and China have been fighting the long war. Grey warfare, short of War tactics, ideological subversion, or whatever you would rather call it..... They have been at it for decades and we haven't done much to hold them back. These folks are killers and they arnt going to live forever which they understand. There is some evil ambition behind this and the bastards responsible may become over zealous. I would wager half of the world's population would die in a short amount of time. We arnt the first nation to get hit from all sides. None of any of what can happen is new. History really does repeat itself. We just have bigger swords and faster horses nowadays.
Great advice. Can you tell me more about your model 700 (308) please. What is the barrel length, and is that a SPS Tactical? Thank You. Love your work.
I take a different but similar twist on the handgun. I chose a Glock 23, in .40s&w. With that gun, and a coversion barrel from Wolf, I can now shoot .40 and 9mm depending on what is available. A little more capability in the same sized package. Great video all around!
I'm with you on caliber selection, 9mm is ubiquitous for handguns and it's very shooter friendly. 5.56x45 and 7.62x51 mm are solid choices for rifles, for the same reasons. A lot of guys like 12 ga. for shotguns as do I, but others may benefit from 20 ga. The .22 lr is one I don't own, it is extremely popular in the community but I have no use for it personally. I'm not a brand ambassador, so my recommendation is to buy well built firearms that fit your needs.
@@Anninukichild For availability, 5.56 is King in the U.S. Virtually every law enforcement agency uses it, as does military and a large number of civilian shooters.
@@flyoverkid55 amen...I was born in 83 but I always heard the old timers either old vets, bikers, or cowboys always had the same story "I used to buy crates of Aks or SKSs for 150-500 bucks" just depending on who the story came from lol...mabey now 5.56 but when I was younger everything was 7.62 before everyone started buying ARs...but Ars and ammo have always been more expensive I'm from a pretty poor state..
I stumbled upon this channel recently and I've got to admit that I'm really enjoying the content, thank you and great work I'm a subscriber for the long haul now.
Hi all, Remember the rule 1 is none, 2 is one, 3 is two, etc...I believe that 2 to 3 of each is appropriate with a minimum of 3,000 rounds of ammo for each
Pretty close I go with my Sig 229. My 12 ga is an AR style mag fed. I do like a 20 ga for the wife , My urban mind wants a second pistol. For my wife a EZ .380 is a must. Not against a Lever action bear gun.
Great list. My addition to your list is a Ruger Mark IV .22 pistol … great teaching tool to get friends and family comfortable with shooting a handgun, and it’s cheap and fun.
Yes I e got some of these. My favorite is nickle plated mark 4 with bull barrel...love these guns. Also have a 22 ruger "charger" that is probably my favorite to shoot. And a ruger 22 LR with a archangel kit that's awesome too...yes I have too many 22s or is that possible? Lol
Not everyone can afford to be redundant, but two of each is a luxury worth striving for, but I sustain these choices if you can achieve this goal of five guns. The AK-47 would have been a consideration , but ammo availability fluctuates, used to be more plentiful (7.62x39). I still have AK and SKS, just because I bought back when they were cheap. thanks for creating this video and the important work you do. Be prepared.
@@namenotfound8747 totally agree, we never can predict how things will unfold. Historical events certainly impact shooting sports…. And their availability
Great video, agree on all the weapons. 270 rem is a good substitute for 308 for the same reasons you listed. Equivalent muzzle energy with better ballistics in my opinion. It would probably be slightly behind the 308 in availability and cost though, which is probably why it didn’t make the list.
I own around 30 guns but my “Necessary Five” would be 1) a good concealable 9mm (I carry a Springfield XDs) 2) a Winchester .270 WSM 3) Marlin model 60 .22 4) Remington 870 Wing master 5) AR 15 5.56/.223 I also keep a Kershaw in my pocket and a Buck 119 readily available.
My Remington 870 wing master was a slayer, shot so fast it would jam up at times. They had just had the pros shooting at the huge range outside of Orlando the day prior and I shot good enough to tie for first place. Skeet. They were dumbfounded that this old country boy did it with a 50 year old Remington 😂.
My buddy owns an older Marlin Model 60 that holds 17 rounds. I've had the privilege of shooting it a couple times. What an absolute joy to shoot. And I, too, own the Ruger AR-556. I'm still getting acquainted with that one but I'm enjoying the process.
I agree. I also love that you mentioned "fun" near the end. I think it's underrated. What gets a lot of people into guns, Is the fact that it's "fun" had some new female shooters out yesterday evening. They enjoyed the 9mm's and my AR.... but when I stuck the little 22lr M&P 15-22 In their hands, they went to town on the steel. And were complete smiles and giggles the rest of the evening.
Totally agree with type/caliber recommendations, there’s some wiggle room among respectable brands but this is great stuff. Even so, I’m a .45 guy, and in most scenarios will lug a bunch of that heavy (and readily available) stuff around to feed my Moses gun, because I shoot far better with that than with short barreled striker-fired handguns.
I’m have 38/357s as a go to. Revolvers and lever actions. I reload and cast ammo so I have enough supplies to load at least 75k rounds. I believe reloading is or perhaps was the key. Since ammo and reloading supplies disappeared at the same time and came back slowly at highly inflated prices I don’t know anymore.

I'd escaped from North Korea-alifornia five years ago. Bought my HK VP9 right after I got my new state's drivers license. No BFSC, no 10 day wait, no high cap magazine ban, no 1 gun a month, no assault weapon ban. Picked it out, 10 minutes to do the federal form and background check, and pay for it. Walk out the door.
Got my CCW. My new home state has constitutional carry so no permit for either concealed or open carry. I got my CCW as it makes buying a new gun faster. You don't need another background check as you already got a deep background checked already. And 37 other states honor my CCW. It's also a "shall issue" state. It's not based on how much you donated to the sheriff's re-election campaign.

I'm just an Army grunt, but I have very close to the same 5 core weapons. Only difference is my go-to AR is chambered in .308 and the reason I went that route is being a remote mountain dweller, with more big critter threat than 2 legged threat and rolling solo, I want my primary weapon to pack a heavier punch at a better range than 5.56 offers. That being said if I were urban/suburban with more potential people threats in much closer ranges, I would deff be going for the 5.56 as my primary fighting weapon. Evaluate your environment/threats/needs and adjust accordingly.
Excellent points
Thank you my friend. Ive been flip flopping on my M1A Socom. Should I spend some money and get it “battle ready”. My conclusion. Yes.
Brooklyn Boi Tell us more about your 8-9 man fantasy squad haha
How much 308 can you carry compared to 556?
@Brooklyn Boi Good thing I don't think that. If you read what I posted you'll see that I think for being alone in mountainous terrain where longer range engagements are more likely the 308 is a better option than the 5.56/223 and for suburban/urban the 5.56 is where it's at. I would rather have a squad of joes myself, but for personal security out here in the mountains of nowhereville that would be well beyond my budget.

I found out from having to evacuate during Hurricane Florence that weight and concealment are a premium. In emergency disaster areas there are also, restrictions to carry that make it difficult to comply with the letter of the law versus protecting your family. We evacuated by boat with the Coast Guard flying above us. I was able to grab my BOB and a bag of food with my wife and kids carrying duffel bags with bare minimum clothes. The Northeast Cape Fear went 9' above our front yard and stayed up for over 14 days. We evacuated to my parents house about a mile from us but, were completely cut off from town due to flooding. We were surrounded by water for two weeks and running low on food. We ate out of the food trucks once the water dropped low enough to drive through into town. I developed a nasty staff infection from fire ant bites while walking in the flood water. I was treated at the emergency hospital tent they had setup in town. The Doctor said I had one of the nastiest infections she had seen as the back of my leg looked like hamburger meat. I share this as something for everyone to think about because it has changed how I prepare if we need to evacuate in the future.
Thanks for sharing your experience
You're one tough bastard.
Thank you for your story.

Add some iodine to BOB
I would always add a decent air rifle, particularly a pump type that does not require c02 cartridges. You can keep tens of thousands of bb's for almost no cost and be able to hunt lots of small game anywhere without making nearly any sound at all.
I 100% agree and I'm looking for an air rifle that's good for it myself. The biggest thing I've run into is the bigger ones with CO2 can take out anything, the smaller pump ones can take out small game and the compact one's won't do anything. The added weight and bulk of the big and mid one's can be negated by a .22 lr rifle so it's just the best option in my book. Plus with a henry AR 7 they take up no space.
Yes, if you’re a gun owner you should have air guns. I can target shoot with my Crossman 1377 pistol in my garage when it’s 3 feet of snow outside. Total cost about 75 dollars these days for pistol, and pellets.
@@ScottAT have a knife, bow, sword, katana...... pick whatever you wanna use.
Most airguns these days are too expensive or too inaccurate to be worth the hassle. You're better off with .22Lr unless you really need the quiet.
@@bobbygetsbanned6049 something like the Crossman 1322 is a great air gun to have, as you can maintain proficiency in your garage.
This made me feel good about myself, this is pretty much my same set up. It just always seemed to make sense to me, so it's cool to know I was on the right path.
My dad got me a rugar 10/22 over 40 years ago. I still have it and it still shoots great. Love this channel!
This is the first rifle that just about every dad gets for their child, girls included! It is a great American staple.
My dad bought me my 10/22 as well. =)
Got 2 Ruger's at cooks years ago for 39.95. I think they were priced wrong.
I concur on everything, I spent 10 years in Alaska and my 870 Tactical was #1 tool for Bear defense. Carried a Glock 19 since the mid 90s state side and overseas, and think everybody should own an AR and Glock 19, and should shoot and train with them. I also think everyone should be trained in TCCC, because the life you save maybe you or your family.
TCCC?
@@ljshoreslokal Tactical Combat Casualty Care, there are other classes that don’t go as in-depth.
So, no one loves the Ruger SBH or Red Hawk . 44 magnum with appropriate Buffalo Bore rounds. For anything on 2 or 4 legs, and I mean Sasquatch, too. Just saying.....
Tell that to Canada's PM. I agree with you, but our cuck in command doesn't
Like my 357 sbh
Totally agree makes sense. Solid list. I also like how you have the “basics” model for each gun; not tricked out with $2000 worth of extras, just the basics of what you need that would serve everyone well.
Take an AK over AR any day of the week. Simpler and more reliable platform. Just an opinion
As someone who was not in the military or a “gun nut” but a hunter and sometime shooter, I’m really close on these. I have the Taurus G2C for my handgun, .270 for my rifle, REM 870 for my shotgun, and an old Remington .22. I don’t have a AR-style rifle yet, but I’ve got my eye, and budget, set on a couple.
Thanks for great videos like these.
Good video. No nonsense. That's pretty much the same advice I give to every "new" person I meet. Don't get a gun you don't need, or that has exotic ammo, and don't start modifying it before you learn to shoot it well just the way it came from the factory. Like others have said, a .22LR or Mag revolver is the only other on my list. They're great for teaching people how to shoot.
I do like having an 8 shot 357. They are concealable and you get pretty insane ballistics for defense or even deer hunting. I like the reliability of revolver too. My Nightguard has had malfuncations from in 8 years whereas my glock19 has at least one about every other range session. Not to mention all 357s shoot 38 specials
I agree< I have an 8 shot S&W, love it.
Have you considered he 357Sig?
Just badass as well
357 is my favorite. Mine is only 5 shot , I use underwood extreme penatrators. Live in bear country..the rest of the list is spot on
Real nice caliber to hunt with. Excellent brush caliber.
I'd throw in a good PCC into the mix too, especially one chambered in the same round as the handgun. Even better if they have mag compatibility
I have been saying the same thing. AR9 with Glock mags and a Glock pistol. Mags and rounds interchangeable. CQB and out to 100yds.
@@mlone7 people really be sleeping on the ranch rifle configuration like that man! At some point I’d like to have this setup for 10mm.

I love my Winchester mod 94 made in 1956, one of the best all time hunting rifles ever made and I love the lever action.
What type of scenario do you think the PCC fits that the others will not?
@@randolphschreiner4479home defence where probability of shooting through the walls is high
Agreed. I'm in your camp on this. I have 4 of 5. You just solidified my choice on the other one. The .308. Been wanting that one for a while. Time to getter done. Semper Fi.
Always Faithfull!
A 308 imho has a long and expensive learning curve and is not really necessary for a suburban resident. In addition the ar will perform most of the reasonably long game hunting.
the 5.56 is a .22 caliber. if you think that is acceptable for big game hunting I disagree. Good chance you NOT recover the animal or it will suffer (deer is all it is legal for in some states - some not - it's to small) Deer, black bear, elk, moose, Brown bear, sheep, goat, antelope, etc it is not a legal round (with the exception of deer in some states which I think it should not be) I have seen and heard of alot of lost deer because the person used a 5.56 - not acceptable. @@butchie2752
Honorable mention would be a pcc or AR chambered in 9mm, specifically one that accepts the same mags as your pistol. Magazine and ammo compatibility can really save your ass and your wallet. Great video!
I personally don't see the point in a pcc in 9mm if it's only semi auto. You get more accuracy and or capacity but that is a weak round to carry in a larger platform. What's your intended use? in all sincerity, I'm curious. Nothing but love
@futuremlbplayer10
He gave one of the primary reasons, which is ammunuion affordability. You can get decent quality 9mm for as low as 25 cents a round, whereas decent 556 ammo would cost 3 times as much.
Also if your primary weapon (rifle) goes down, you're not sitting there with a bunch of ammo you can't use.
Another consideration is that a PCC makes an effective home defense weapon.
@@faitaccompli5878 This is something a lot of preppers do not think about--redundancy. There is a principle that 2 is 1 and 1 is 0. I have 2 ruger 10/22 rifles and an AR-15 conversion .22lr kit for my AR-15. So if one or more of my .22lr firearms breaks, I still have backups. Otherwise, I have a ton of worthless ammo.
I actually think having a 9mm kit for an AR-15 is smart. I didn't even know you could do that...lol
@@polletpower
I agree, I'm partial to 9mm though, it's a very versatile round. If you have a 9mm carbine, 9mm sidearm, and a 9mm backup (ankle or back carry) you're good to go.
Out of all the channels that give their weapons recommendations, I agree with your choices the most. Your explanations for each one made perfect sense to me.
The only other gun I’d add is a 22 revolver. Their versatility is great shoot LR, long , shorts, calibri’s. Cheap practice ammo.
Mine has an extra cylinder for .22wmr.
I agree completely and have many of these in my collection, the one that surprised me and changed my mind about the caliber the most was the 10/22. I had plinked around with some 22s in the past but pretty much went right into center fire calibers when I first started to build my collection, but I found a stainless 10/22 takedown model on sale at my local gun shop one day that I absolutely could not pass up for the price. And that thing is an absolute blast to shoot, has helped me acclimate several people to shooting and has more accessories available than you can shake a stick at. Not to mention the takedown function paired with a magpul stock setup makes the PERFECT backpack/survival rifle.
EXACTLY.
You made a really good point that wasn't in the video. A 22 rifle is perfect for teaching new shooters.
I have 2 12g shotguns (870/Tokarev semiauto), 2 AR15s (one pistol, one 18" heavy barrel), several handguns (.45, 2x9mm, .357, 2x.22). I still need a 10/22 and a .308 rifles and I'd prefer both to be bolt guns....
For CCW I'd go with a micro-subcompact. I carry a Sig-P365 & even that little thing prints. I started buying my shirts one size larger but, I still feel like I'm printing. It's surprisingly accurate for a little 3.2 inch barrel. It's not a nail driver but, it's close.
Solid choice. I carry a Glock 23 .40 cal for CCW and find it the perfect size for concealed carry. Shoots awesomely as well
Good stuff, I would have to up my count to six guns and throw in a 22lr pistol because even the youngest or weakest individual can most likely can shoot and train with inexpensively
This subjects been beaten to death before through the years and you are exactly on par with most census on 5 best guns if you could only pick 5 to have. The shotgun is the most versatile of all those weapons but we all know it lacks capacity. Those are my top 5 except brands differ alittle. If there was 6 on the list I would definitely add a lever action probably in 30-30.
The other thing you get from the scattergun is the ability to hunt in places that don't allow rifles. The shotgun is the most versatile of the firearms. Hunt birds with the right shot size, hunt deer with slugs, and - in a pinch - use it for self-defense with the appropriate loads for that task as well.
@Ass Clapper Of course, but the video wasn't all that specific about the context being that kind of scenario.
@Ass Clapper As you wish.
In a pinch 😂
A Mossberg 20 ga is excellent home defence and will stop deer in their tracks . Aim small miss small
Got my first deer with a slug.
Also much lower chance of collateral injuries or worse in close quarters.
I am just a city boy from Oklahoma. Then moved to the country as a teenager. I was a Cub scout, Webelos then became a Boy scout. All five guns you picked I picked almost the same except I chose an AK for more durability.
I love the 1022 . The problem with it is that they won't run dirty . The remington speedmaster although tube fed will run dirty. So will the browning ba22.
Absolutely excellent choices. I agree 100% on these picks. Living on a large ranch, I use all of these with my Benelli M4 12G for home protection.
Deputy Fatally Shot Off Duty Officer ( WHO IS THE HOME OWNER THE CAR-JACKER AND HOME INVADER CAME TO ) - THE SHERIFF SHOOTS GOOD GUY DEAD !!! Clark County sheriff's Office Jan 29-2022
th-cam.com/video/hg5h4Iaf21o/w-d-xo.html
Vancouver, Clark County, Washington --- On Saturday, January 29, 2022 around 2014 hours police responded to Chevron, 9810 NE 117th Avenue, Vancouver,
for an armed robbery that just occurred. The caller reported a 23-24YOA white male reportedly produced a handgun,
pointed the firearm at the clerk’s chest and demanded money. The suspect fled the scene in a stolen dark-colored
Mercedes passenger car with several hundred dollars. Twelve minutes later, the armed robbery suspect was
intercepted by police traveling northbound on I-205. The robbery suspect failed to stop for police and the suspect
eluded officer’s apprehension attempts. The robbery suspect eluded officers for several miles and eventually exited I5 toward the City of Battle Ground, Washington where assisting officers successfully deployed spike strips to
immobilize the vehicle. The robbery suspect then exited the vehicle and fled on foot to avoid apprehension.
As assisting officers established containment, a resident in the Battle Ground area called 911 reporting a lone male,
coincidentally matching the description of the robbery suspect, was pounding on their front door asking for assistance
because he had just been involved in a collision. The female caller told emergency dispatch her husband was an armed
off-duty Vancouver Police Officer and had exited their residence onto the driveway in front of their home in an
attempt to detain the suspect for responding officers. The suspect then became aggressive and engaged in a physical
fight with the off-duty officer while the female caller was still on the phone with emergency dispatch.
The off-duty officer lost control of his firearm and suffered several stab wounds during the struggle with the suspect.
The suspect broke free from the struggle and ran toward the officer’s residence which was occupied by the officer’s
wife, who was still on the phone with emergency dispatch.
The off-duty officer was able to recover his firearm that he lost control of during the struggle then ran after the
suspect who was attempting to enter his home while still in possession of the instrument used to stab him. Within
seconds of responding law enforcement officers arriving on scene, one Clark County Deputy Sheriff fired several
rounds from a rifle striking the off-duty officer.
The off-duty officer/homeowner collapsed on his front porch before responding officers were able to determine he
was the homeowner and not the alleged robbery suspect. The suspect surrendered to police moments later and was
taken into custody without incident. Officers attempted to provide emergency trauma care to the off-duty officer, but
they were unable to stabilize him.
The deceased off-duty Vancouver Police Officer has been identified as 52YOA Donald Sahota.
I have the same Bennelli as my bump in the night gun also.
@@funkfarmer7125 Same. I'm way up in the mountains, and I still sleep with a 9mm under the pillow and the M4 nearby. About once a week I take her out and do a few drills, mostly muscle memory at this point, but I also like to trial a mix of factory and custom loads through the old girl to see if anything makes her jam up. I swear it's one of those guns that just never quits on a guy. I will admit to having a 14" 870 as a backup backup in the bedroom closet, but so far I'd rather have the luxury of just an astounding amount of semi auto firepower at my fingertips when there's no time to be fumbling around with a pump. The 9 gets me to the m4, the M4 gets me to the vault, and the vault can set up a small army. I sleep like a baby every night even being miles from anyone who's not kin.
I think a 6th option would be a wheel gun. Something that shoots duel caliber rounds
Like a 38/357 or 44sp/44m. Because like you said rounds can be hard to come by. So doubling your chance of getting rounds is always a + .
Raging judge. 45 colt, 454, or 410 shotgun. But the revolver is heavy
Even homes that don't have guns have 9mm and 22 ammo.

I am no Seal but am a gunsmith. I agree with your 5 gun arsenal. If I was the last guy on the planet and could only have one gun it would be a Ruger stainless M77 Mark II all weather in 30-06 with sights. Preferably the model with the skeletonised synthetic stock also known as the canoe paddle. I would want a scope preferably a Leupold 3-9x40 scope. If the scope fails I can remove the scope with a pocket knife and go back to open sights. The Ruger has the least moving parts and all those parts are very robust. The firing pin can be removed with anything that will fit through the hole above the sear on the bolt. Even a piece of beach grass or small twig. The rings are bomb proof as well as being quick detachable in case the scope went out of service. A Leupold 3-9 would allow me to engage game out to 500 yards. My one gun arsenal for wilderness survival. The 30-06 has the power and ammo available that is suitable for small varmints to elephants. The only thing it really needs to prepare it is the rings lapped straight and round. For me I would give it a 2 pound trigger job but it is still very usable as it comes out of the box.
I kinda like PCC's for inside the home defense. Little bit smaller so more manueverable and a bit higher magazine capacity. Just a preference I guess. I enjoyed the video and thank you
I agree with that. I have a KP-9 for HD. I have replaced almost everything and put a Holosun red dot with a 1500 lumen flashlight. It is crazy front heavy, but little recoil and accurate.
I like the selection, you can add an 18” barrel to the shotgun for more self defense application, add lights, lasers etc. Love the podcast with Ritland and I share your faith and your commitment to your spouse👍🙏
Definitely anything is better than nothing for home defense, but a shotgun would likely not be my choice if I had any other option available.
I think a shotgun is the best home defense choice. loaded with 00 or 4 buckshot. Not as a nightstand choice, but if you are awake my goto would be a shotgun. what is your choice. @@1John3.8

Love the content brother. Love what you do. Keep up the great work.
Remember to go with common calibers that you could likely snag off your enemies after they're down or raid off their home base.
9mm ammo can be found in the Majority of gun owners homes in America
Pump Action shot guns are by far the most versatile of the guns. Short range to mid range.
You can pretty much put anything in projectile wise in the case ranging from salt, bb's, slugs, rubber pellets to incendiary rounds. A round for most situations.

See how accuracy is after 8-10 rounds in a minute.
@@MrT13 Wtf you talking about
@@Queensryche1 that 700. The more something heats up the less it shoots. Universal. Sure it’s still good at 2-300 but put a say 10 or 12” plate out at 5-600 if that’s your thing and send 10 down within 60 seconds. See what happens to the next 10. Just curious just a little science experiment.
I like your list. I got no problem with mp. I’m a Glock guy but hey mp works. But even when you gotta hump distance and you’d love to have a lighter kit there’s a reason they still give you a heavy barrel for long guns.
I also agree with sticking with the most common cartridges. 22LR, 9mm, 223, 308 and 12ga for availability.
12 ga. shotties trump all in this regard. As long as you can get primers (or make them) then you can use all sorts of crap as propellant, and use anything and everything as projectiles. Rusty old nuts and bolts, nails, ball bearings, hell-even rock salt! You can use match heads as propellant. Barbecue charcoal and tree stump remover (potassium nitrate) can be used as propellant as well. Reliable primers are the difficult part, but shotguns have EVERYTHING else going for them because when you're all out of ammo and nobody will sell you any (or nobody has any) then you can always improvise!
@@devilsoffspring5519 Agree very much. Especially when you consider all the ammo options as you stated as well as the ability to change barrels and chokes.
@@twwtb I didn't really mean that though, I just meant the ability to improvise ammo when there's nothing available. I didn't mean being specific, just having anything at all to shoot at someone in self defense. Nothing to do with all that "right tool for the job" business you hear gun nut types going on and on about all the time, just something, anything, to shoot with.
Disagree the AR & 22LR... You Can Get a 22LR adaptor for your AR & Have 2 Guns in 1 then Use Your 5th Gun to be Some kind of Bear Gun Pistol Like a 10MM that can Also Shoot 40mm.
I like ur picks one because I'm close to ur list. Big fan of 22's, Mossburge and AR. Just don't have a nice bolt action rifle. Big fan of Ruger reliable not expensive and American made thanks for ur practical perspective 👍
Many thanks for the simple, straightforward advice - my current 5 are very close in philosophy - SigP320 9mm - Ruger American .308 - Ruger 10/22 - Remington 870 in 20 Gauge - AR15
It's a good list honestly. Pistol, long rifle, small game rifle, shotgun, mid rifle. Whatever you need is accounted for including just fun days at the range. Practical with common rounds and utility in mind. My list is a bit different just due to personal preference (AK instead of an AR) but the list is solid and shows what you should pay attention to.
I also have an AK; but once you start really training with it, you realize all your biggest issues are solved by the AR platform. It's just easier to use and get fast with on all the skills.
@@CLICKINSPREE I have an AR pistol in 5.7 but I don't really have any issue with my AK. They're just different no major issue
Those were the first 5, although my friend talked me into getting a .40 cal pistol. The only thing I would add is a mini gun. You can do a lot with one of those.... 😏👍
Iv cc'd a g23 40 for better than a decade, thousands and thousands of rds through it finally showing some good wear on'er
A friend of mine who is a police officer recommended I get something in .40 s&w because it's one of the main calibers law enforcement uses, great knock down power and will always be on the shelf when everything else is sold out.
@@alrich7589 that part about knock down power and always on the shelves is absolutely correct, I handload my carry ammo, use basically a really slow pistol/12g powder got some pulled hst and gold dots, loaded to over 1100 fps(hadem up to 1200 but stay at 11, easier on the gun), I will say a compact 40 Is a handful if you font have strong hands and can be hard to shoot but once u got it....man a 180gr bullet breaking 1100 in .4p cal is in a diffrent league than a 115gr 9mm(vs10mil aka 40cal) doin about the same, after a decade of g23 my 19x I swear in could drive tracks with, very very quickly, for a novice I'd def rec a 19 or 17 something 9mm, but ill.always be 40, 40 is what's considered a high pressure round a lot of people dont know that, basically a magnum, cant remember the psi but it's quite a but more than 9, 380. And so on
Great video.
My rule is 1 pistol and 1 AR-15 at minimum. I'm not into hunting so those other rifles aren't needed. Self-defense and combat (SHTF scenarios).
I don't desire to own a bunch of guns. Most SF guys I follow say just train / master your 1 pistol and 1 AR.
I will get another pistol though. I want that War Poet MR920.
My CCW is a G19 Gen 5 and my AR is a SA Saint Victor 5.56. Love em all.
Solid selection. I personally would increase the list to 7 adding a Marlin 22 Bolt, and a Ruger 22 pistol. Ammunition is expensive and you can plink all day with these 22 caliber guns. Maybe increase it to 8 and add a Mini 14. Yeah I guess I can always rationalize buying more guns or guitars, where the perfect amount of either is N +1, where N = the amount you have now.
Perfect amount can also be written as S - 1 where S = the number that would induce your spouse to divorce you.
No on mini. Is and always has been pointless inferior option except if you needed a folder. Only need a 22 pistol with subs and a can if defending/… base in a shtf world.
Could swap out the bolt 22 with the Henry because cowboy
I sure do love hearing about the mini 14. Cracks me up. They were not very well received. Might wanna do a little research on that gun partner.
@@kennethherrick8436 The mini musket… lol
This year I added break barrel 177 air rifles to my arsenal. The 22 lr is sometimes too large for squirrels and small birds. A quality break barrel 177 rifle fills that niche. With the price of ammo going up and up the lead pellets are quite a bargain.
Nice and quiet too 👍
I love how you didn't crap on certain brands like most channels
Agreed
I dont like the Mossberg 500. I have owned 2 and the safety on them BROKE....both of them. The 870 is a superior gun in every other way plus its far more universal and prolific, youll find them everywhere for parts and such....
The Glock 23 I stick with only because I’ve always shot 40 and I’ve got a ton of rounds. The 23 and 19 is the same frame. My 308 is the ar10 my bolt gun is a 243 my .22 is a Winchester model 75 and my shotgun is a toss up lol because I love my a-5’s but I can’t shoot steel out of them so I also need my benelli nova
I have an Ak47 as well because 7.62x39mm is a common round and it 7.62x39mm is a great cqb round. Not as powerful as .308 but you get the same capacity of an ar15 and still sling. 30 cal bullets.
Important in the case of a third world war or homeland invasion.
It would be good to learn how to use Russian or Chinese weaponry, I've been studying their artillery for a while which they use heavily.
Doesn't look too hard so far.
@@alexashworth3119 I guess. I would think a 3rd world war would go nuclear pretty quick.
@@pliskenx51mm83
Maybe right off the rip.
Tactical nukes can be smuggled in the same as kilos of blow through the border.
At this point we may infiltrated.
We could be hit and there may not be nuclear retaliation on our part which would suck.
I've been looking into cases of espionage and corruption, let me tell you it has been getting worse.
We've had breaches in everything and this has gotten worse the past 10 years.
Russia and China have been fighting the long war. Grey warfare, short of War tactics, ideological subversion, or whatever you would rather call it.....
They have been at it for decades and we haven't done much to hold them back.
These folks are killers and they arnt going to live forever which they understand.
There is some evil ambition behind this and the bastards responsible may become over zealous.
I would wager half of the world's population would die in a short amount of time.
We arnt the first nation to get hit from all sides. None of any of what can happen is new. History really does repeat itself.
We just have bigger swords and faster horses nowadays.
I’d worry more about our own government than foreign invaders anymore!
@@psychotronstudio63 I agree,
I couldn’t agree more! Excellent set of tools to have. These and collecting more for sport or hobby covers all bases. 👍
love that the 10/22 was on the list
Great advice. Can you tell me more about your model 700 (308) please. What is the barrel length, and is that a SPS Tactical? Thank You. Love your work.
I take a different but similar twist on the handgun. I chose a Glock 23, in .40s&w. With that gun, and a coversion barrel from Wolf, I can now shoot .40 and 9mm depending on what is available. A little more capability in the same sized package. Great video all around!
I actually like the 48 with PSA micro dagger magazines
I'm with you on caliber selection, 9mm is ubiquitous for handguns and it's very shooter friendly. 5.56x45 and 7.62x51 mm are solid choices for rifles, for the same reasons. A lot of guys like 12 ga. for shotguns as do I, but others may benefit from 20 ga.
The .22 lr is one I don't own, it is extremely popular in the community but I have no use for it personally.
I'm not a brand ambassador, so my recommendation is to buy well built firearms that fit your needs.
A small 22 long riffle is a great round to hunt with. Not as loud and it's cheap to buy a boat load of survival ammo
7.62 x 39 is pretty easy to find in my state atleast gotta love a sks..
@@Anninukichild For availability, 5.56 is King in the U.S. Virtually every law enforcement agency uses it, as does military and a large number of civilian shooters.
@@flyoverkid55 amen...I was born in 83 but I always heard the old timers either old vets, bikers, or cowboys always had the same story "I used to buy crates of Aks or SKSs for 150-500 bucks" just depending on who the story came from lol...mabey now 5.56 but when I was younger everything was 7.62 before everyone started buying ARs...but Ars and ammo have always been more expensive I'm from a pretty poor state..
@@Anninukichild There's nothing wrong with a decent SKS.
I stumbled upon this channel recently and I've got to admit that I'm really enjoying the content, thank you and great work I'm a subscriber for the long haul now.
Hi all, Remember the rule 1 is none, 2 is one, 3 is two, etc...I believe that 2 to 3 of each is appropriate with a minimum of 3,000 rounds of ammo for each
Pretty close I go with my Sig 229. My 12 ga is an AR style mag fed. I do like a 20 ga for the wife , My urban mind wants a second pistol. For my wife a EZ .380 is a must. Not against a Lever action bear gun.
Great list. My addition to your list is a Ruger Mark IV .22 pistol … great teaching tool to get friends and family comfortable with shooting a handgun, and it’s cheap and fun.
Yes I e got some of these. My favorite is nickle plated mark 4 with bull barrel...love these guns. Also have a 22 ruger "charger" that is probably my favorite to shoot. And a ruger 22 LR with a archangel kit that's awesome too...yes I have too many 22s or is that possible? Lol
Not everyone can afford to be redundant, but two of each is a luxury worth striving for, but I sustain these choices if you can achieve this goal of five guns. The AK-47 would have been a consideration , but ammo availability fluctuates, used to be more plentiful (7.62x39). I still have AK and SKS, just because I bought back when they were cheap. thanks for creating this video and the important work you do. Be prepared.
Unless you're sitting on mountain of 7.62x39 right now pre war. I think that caliber will have to be on the back burner for a couple of years.
@@namenotfound8747 totally agree, we never can predict how things will unfold. Historical events certainly impact shooting sports…. And their availability
Pretty sure when the time comes there’ll be plenty of AK’s and mags laying around.
@robs9574 most definitely.. I get where your going with that comment 😂
Great video, agree on all the weapons.
270 rem is a good substitute for 308 for the same reasons you listed. Equivalent muzzle energy with better ballistics in my opinion. It would probably be slightly behind the 308 in availability and cost though, which is probably why it didn’t make the list.
I went 270. But my collection basically mirrors his layout.
Idk understand y some people think that the 308 is a awesome gun for large animals because it is a baby compared to the 7mm mag and 300 win mag
I always was told there's three food the long-range a 12-gauge shotgun and a handgun 3 food groups I have a 9 a 308 add a 12 gauge
I own around 30 guns but my “Necessary Five” would be 1) a good concealable 9mm (I carry a Springfield XDs) 2) a Winchester .270 WSM 3) Marlin model 60 .22 4) Remington 870 Wing master 5) AR 15 5.56/.223 I also keep a Kershaw in my pocket and a Buck 119 readily available.
My Remington 870 wing master was a slayer, shot so fast it would jam up at times. They had just had the pros shooting at the huge range outside of Orlando the day prior and I shot good enough to tie for first place. Skeet. They were dumbfounded that this old country boy did it with a 50 year old Remington 😂.
My buddy owns an older Marlin Model 60 that holds 17 rounds. I've had the privilege of shooting it a couple times. What an absolute joy to shoot. And I, too, own the Ruger AR-556. I'm still getting acquainted with that one but I'm enjoying the process.
5 Hi Points. Nuff Said.
I agree.
I also love that you mentioned "fun" near the end. I think it's underrated. What gets a lot of people into guns, Is the fact that it's "fun"
had some new female shooters out yesterday evening. They enjoyed the 9mm's and my AR.... but when I stuck the little 22lr M&P 15-22 In their hands, they went to town on the steel. And were complete smiles and giggles the rest of the evening.
Totally agree with type/caliber recommendations, there’s some wiggle room among respectable brands but this is great stuff. Even so, I’m a .45 guy, and in most scenarios will lug a bunch of that heavy (and readily available) stuff around to feed my Moses gun, because I shoot far better with that than with short barreled striker-fired handguns.
Your list is nearly identical to my own (I prefer the 870 over the Mossberg) except I have a 6th gun on it, revolver in either .357 or .44mag.
I still only have a 30-40 Krag Jorgensen. I would the Mossberg, though.
I would add a good lever action and revolver both in .357.
Very versatile by allowing .38 in either….sooo many ammo choices and uses
Yeah I got to put that dirty 38 Special revolver in the rotation in case I need a throwaway
I’m have 38/357s as a go to. Revolvers and lever actions. I reload and cast ammo so I have enough supplies to load at least 75k rounds. I believe reloading is or perhaps was the key. Since ammo and reloading supplies disappeared at the same time and came back slowly at highly inflated prices I don’t know anymore.
This channel has had me running every morning for 3 weeks now…I listen to the “Why Run?” video while approaching the mountain. You think your an ultra runner bruh? I’m ya huckleberry! I’m the OG Ginger Lightning! 👍🏼👍🙌🏿👍🏿👍🏾👊🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽👊🏾👊🏼⛽️💨🐧😎😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉💉

I pick huckleberries in the mountains and put them in the oatmeal for breakfast, I’m not joking tho
@@outdoorvideoswithbrad you must be in Montana! Huckleberry capital of the world. I’m jealous.
@@MontegaB that is the line that makes me stop being a little bitch and start moving. Hits hard. It’s a privilege to run. This fast-food, slow-brained idiocracy culture has made the people soft and ungrateful for the gifts God gives all of us daily. The breath in our bodies is a gift. Being able to run is an incredible privilege.
@@bokusworld9780 no I’m in pa, I found a patch and been eating them for years and didn’t know what they were, I thought they were different blueberries, they are called “box Huckleberry”
One you should add is a multi pump air rifle. They are great for varmints and you can stockpile a lot of ammo dirt cheap.
And quiet!
The other advantage of the 308 Remington is that it can also fire the 7.62x51 NATO round.
Agree on the Glock 19, the Mossberg 500 and the AR.
But as for bolt actions instead of a .308 and a .22 I’d get a .300 win mag and a 6.5 Creedmoor.
Do you recommend leaving the iron sights on the m4 or should i throw a acog or red dot on it.
I generally agree with the top 5. #6 would be a muzzleloader if you live in a state with a black powder rifle deer season.
I got all these guns and more, but my favorite to shoot is my CVA Optima!
"Mossberg got the safety right there where God intended" - Jeff of gunblast RIP
Jeff was a great guy.
A problem I had a while back is I couldn't find 9mm at my local stores but I found tons of boxes of other rounds. Reason being now everyone has the 9mm and first come, first serve.
Good a reason to keep some .45acp and a Gucci AF 1911 that runs like a Cadillac if I ever heard one.
That’s why you should buy it cheap and stack it deep when possible.
Excellent point! I have a Ruger SP 101 in the odd .327 mag cal….no problem getting ammo all day long when 9mm ammo shelves were bare. A little diversity might be worthwhile.
I agree with this list. I would add an extremely accurate .22LR pistol.
1. Quality striker-fire in 9mm
2. Bolt-action rifle in 6.5 PRC
3. 12 gauge pump shotgun, multiple barrels
4. Rimfire rifle in .22 LR
5. AR or AK-platform rifle
Bonus: Medium-bore revolver with a lever-action rifle in the same caliber
Bonus: "Ruger MK"-type platform semi-auto pistol or revolver in .22 LR
5 guns you must own
1. 20 mm gatling gun
2. 30 mm vulcan gun
3. 5 inch autocannon
4. 16 inch x3 naval turret
5. Phased plasma rifle, 40 watt
You came close, but you missed the minigun. Those should come as optional equipment on all RAM pickups.
Quase o meu acervo, apenas troquei o .22 por uma carabina 9mm e o AR-15 por um AR-10. A ideia é manter o maior número possível de armas e a menor quantidade de calibres.
1. 30-30 lever action
2. 22 mag scoped bolt action
3. 12 guage stage coach shotgun
4. Ruger pc9 takedown 1×8×24 lpvo
5. Keltec pmr30, 22mag handgun
I have a Mossberg pump action 20g, Savage .22 and .30-06 bolt action rifles, and a .22 pistol. I've been looking for another pistol. So I'm going to look into that Glock 19. Thank you for this. 💯🇺🇲💪🙏💛
I also have the Mossberg pump in 20g and love it, but the damned ammo is pricey and always not in stock.
@@RobertLinthicum yes I noticed this myself. 😂 But overall, it's a darn good weapon. Blessings to ya brother!
Go with the G23 and get a 9mm conversion barrel and mags. Then you'll have a gun that can shoot .40 or 9mm
Haha...I posted before I saw yours!! Totally agree!
You don’t have an actual suppressed firearm
Condense further, 308 ar10 with a good lvpo, 12gauge shotgun, mid size 9mm.
I'm considering picking up a Ruger SFAR chambered in .308/7.62 NATO. It seems like this could fill the M4 and Remington 700 roles, if set up accordingly.
I Have the S&W M&P 2.0 9mm Compact, Ruger 10/22 Stainless steel barrel with Scope for small Game, Mossberg 12 Gauge Over / Under for birds and clays, Silver Eagle 12 Gauge semi auto shot gun and Dragon Star AR-15 chambered in 5.56 and 2.23! I don't Hunt large game but am thinking about a bolt action or lever action Henry! I also keep a H&K VP 40 in my night stand safe for up close and personal intruders that may enter my bedroom at night. Nice list and I kind of wanted to follow a similar format for survival and protection. Well Done!
1: Sig P320 9mm
2: backup pistol.38 special Taurus 856
3: Taurus PT100AF .40 (Grandpa’s gun)
4: Savage 110 30-06
5: Mossberg Maverick 88 12 gauge
6: Ruger 10/22
7: AR15 M4 variant
I’m more accurate out to 100 yards with the 10/22, although it’s the smallest caliber. It’s what I learned to shoot on. I can aim, close my eyes, pop off 25 rounds, open my eyes, and have a grouping the size of my fist at 40 yards.
we need a 100 guns everyone should own
12 gauge, double barrel. 0.22 bolt action. Mid caliber rifle bolt action. 0.40 - 0.45 cal revolver with 6 inch plus barrel. A muzzle loader mid to large caliber. The bonus is a bow with about 40 to 60 lb draw and minimum 6 arrows with 3 broad heads and 3 broad bird heads. My survivalist ammo conservation list that’s easy to maintain.
