One of the YouTube channels I watch is Lionquest Fitness. "Greg", the channel owner, offered his "what if" list of the last six guns he'd ever part with. Got me to thinking, that I'd never want to be w/o a 9mm sidearm, a good 12 bore SxS, an AR and a rimfire rifle. Would my No4 (or even No5) be amongst the remaining two choices? Last night, after much thought and a cold Sam Adams, my last two would be my favorite No4 and a second 9mm handgun. 

You???

I think it would depend on the circumstances that forced me to reduce to 5.  My C96 Mauser is really cool, and fairly valuable, but not very practical.  AR is at the opposite end of that spectrum.  But, you’re right about one of them being a reliable 9mm and an AR.  The other 3 would be very tough choices, I think a No. 4 and M1 would have to be in there too.  Perhaps my P365 with the holographic sight would be the 5th (can’t see pistol irons anymore).

Function and reliability are the two main reasons I will never part with my French Resistance No4Mk1 and my 1911A1. A single shot 12 gauge, single shot 22 rifle and a Ruger MkII will also never leave my side...

If it was a SHTF situation and I had to make a decision as to what 6 firearms from my current collection I would keep to fend off roving bands of looters and reivers they would be:

1)  Boys ATR in .50 BMG for ultra long range sniping and anti-materiel use.  Stopping vehicles.
2)  Anderson Arms AM10 for mid range sniping and hunting.
3)  AR 15 for closer in defense
4)  Remington 870 for point blank defense and bird hunting.
5)  TNW Aero survival rifle/PCC in 9mm Luger
6)  Ruger 10/22.

Canuck, I too have  TT33. Gotta admit, those things are so incredibly reliable! Bought at a gun show 30 something years ago for $150, after what must be a couple of thousand rounds, never a hiccup! It devours Russian, Chinese, Polish and even the maybe too hot Bulgarian stuff with equal relish. A true Mad Max pistol!
