Clickable. My 21 and 30 mentioned.
The Glock 21 .45 ACP pistol is under review in this article. I was most
fortunate to have been able to test one of these pistols before they
even came on the market, when I worked for the late Col. Rex Applegate.
Handguns for SHTF
Many people believe that they can get by, when the SHTF, with just a
handgun. Maybe they can and maybe not. I’m inclined to think that a
handgun is an up-close and personal defensive weapon, not one that was
designed for offensive use. However, a good handgun can perform both
duties, given the limitations of the round that the gun is chambered
for.
Many readers will, no doubt, have a favorite handgun that they
consider their “end of the world” handgun, and I have no problem with
that so long as it is a well-built firearm, chambered in a man-stopping
caliber: 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, or one of other similar handgun
calibers. Like most, I have my own ideas about which handgun and caliber
are the best to have around when the SHTF. My thinking on this doesn’t
come lightly. As a gun writer with more than 25 years experience, I’ve
had the chance to fire thousands of firearms over the years and have
formed my own thoughts on this subject. I’m not saying I’m “right” and
you’re “wrong”, not in the least. I’m just saying I have a lot of
experience in this matter and have formed my opinion based on a lot of
things.
