Depends 100% on the target and / or situation, but just for shootings sake, my personal favorites are my 30.06 bolt action, and my .44 magnum with the 8" barrel (although that one tends to ring your ears even with hearing protection) Diggem' |

Well, by my handle, you probably guessed handgun. You'd be right. But, I also really enjoy my scoped bolt actions for greater distance, smaller groups. But, I also really enjoy my WWII era bolt action military rifles (but darn those Mauser sights sure are getting harder to see). Used to really enjoy my muzzleloaders for hunting (till Illinois started allowing us to use handguns). But, come turkey season, it's shotgun. Dang, what kind of a demented person would put people through these kinds of choices. |

I used to have a LOT of fun with a 1927 Thompson I owned. It was almost too much fun to have in my hands. So smooth and sweet, just a joy in all regards. It was forgiving and fired any type of military ball ammo you could find LOL it's all I used. Never failed to go bang, never failed to cheer me up and make me feel like a man when I was feeling low. Heavy, solid and it felt like you could bet your life on it. It was made from solid steel milled into parts that fit together with exact precision. It was difficult to disassemble but was so well built that it didn't really need to be taken apart very often and when it did I'd just sit down and go through the entire rifle with Q tips dipped in oil. Mine had a detachable stock but I rarely took it off. Felt better and was perfectly balanced with it on.
I traded straight for two WW2 1911s. One was an Ithaca with 100% original matching serial numbers and magazine in it's original holster, the other was a Remington Rand with a newer barrel, flat mainspring housing and an adjustable rear sight. The Thompson was $900 back then, the same rifle is now over $1800.
I sold it for cash to a gun store to pay bills, I think I got $800. Sad memory, it is one of the greatest losses my collection has ever suffered and I would LOVE to have another one.
Thompson 1927-A1 Deluxe from Auto-Ordnance in West Hurley, NY. The current version that is like mine was is the T1B.
Gorgeous and well worth the money they cost. Like a Rolex or a Mercedes or a fine cigar.

You have to have more than one. A short rang (either a shotgun or a hand cannon [rugger super redhawk]), and the a long rang rifle that's likely to have the most available ammo. The long rang is a tie between the bold action or the semi.
I think I'd prefer all three. A semi shotgun, a semi handgun [.44] and a rifle of 30.06 (scoped) semi if it came to urban combat, but bolt action otherwise.

It's best mikeofaustin if you can get your handgun and long gun in the same caliber. Shotguns are a more versatile weapon than some folks think. My mom's family were guys who tossed up washers and shot through the hole, so they preferred bolt action rifles and pistols. My dad's family weren't attacked by washers that much and intended to kill people, so they tended towards shotguns. 10 gauge double barrel pretty much got the job done.
