Gee I didn't mean to waste so many of "your" electrons. You don't want to read it then don't. I was responding to a point already made. Not that you care.
And "death threats"??? Talk about reading between the lines. People sure got sensitive in a hurry. Maybe they didn't like it that someone pointed out they can't just move in on someone else's property.

Haha! Exactly. My mistake. I'm over it. Mods - delete delete delete! I'm going to with my 629 on the hip and an RPG over my shoulder. And a kitana sword. Thanks all for your input! PEACE!

I don't think that you would go wrong with a Model 686+ with 4" barrel.

There's a lot of good thoughts here, what about a 1911? WHAT a 1911 but I have a Kimber 22lr convertible top end! So it would be the best both worlds, it swaps out in a few seconds! But it would end up with a lot of parts, loose one thing and your sol.
Just a out of the box thought,
I would vote for my 4" 63 and a brick of hps

If the parameters are any realistically attainable S&W revolvers, then I would recommend a 3" 686+
It is versatile, concealable, carryable, but offers you 7 rounds of either 38 special or 357 Magnum. Those two cartridge options can take you very far.
Lots of other great options out there to make a case for too.

In my BOB would be my M63 w/ 500 rds, on my hip would be my M&P 9c. The wife would have the M&P full size.
Good post here ^. A BOB by definition, has severe weight and volume restrictions, so while it may feel good to SAY you're gonna cram the biggest,heaviest pistol you own, and 500 rounds of ammo inside, that ain't realistic.
Also, a BOB is something you have PRE-PACKED, because time contraints are also a prime factor. SO this gun is going to be something you basically leave in the BOB, nearly all the time.
Also, in nearly all of these internet-fantasy scenarios, the assumption seems to always be that non-stop gun battles and running out of magazines and ammo are going to be the most pressing concerns. But, other things, like hunger,dehydration,exposure to the elements,infection,etc are much more realistic things to obsess over (and pack for).
As for which gun is best....there ain't one. There are a hundred excellent choices, that will all serve as well as another.
Personally, i would just want something light and reliable, that used the same ammo as whatever I would normally already have in my pocket or on my hip. Basically something in 38 or 9mm, and I don't much care which one.

It's always treacherous ground to mention that a TEWOTHAWKI might actually occur but here goes anyway. There is a way that we all go straight back to the start of the 19th century or worse. Our "friends" in Iran are building Nukes. N. Korea has nukes and missiles to deliver them. I'm not so much worried about an all out nuclear strike because we'll all be dead anyway if that happens. What worries me is the possibility of an EMP type attack. We are vulnerable. All those things you say aren't likely would become very likely very quickly. I don't stay up nights worrying about this or anything. But it is possible.
