I have to agree. I never carry mine, but if limited to one and only one handgun, that has to be it.mr1337 wrote:Glock 19.
Good concealibility. Abundant ammo. 15+1 capacity. Lots of aftermarket support. Durable and dependable.
Worldwide, the G19 is probably in more hands than any other handgun, including in the U.S. That means parts cannibalization is highly likely to keep one running and to obtain mags (plus the fact that most G17 parts can also be used). The Glock magazine fits multiple other models, including non-Glock SBRs and carbines. To my knowledge, the 9×19mm is the only NATO handgun round and again, worldwide, is probably more prevalent and available than any other.
I'm not a prepper, but if I were my bug-out firearms would be a Glock 19 or 17 plus a carbine that uses 9mm in the Glock magazines, like the Just Right Carbine, the JPGMR-13, or a Lone Wolf 9mm.
