"Does Dan Wesson still make revolvers? I know I should Google it, but I was just surprised to see the name again. I lusted after the 44 back in poverty stricken days. "

"The most important things to keep in mind, after many discussions with many people:

Shoot the gun before you buy it, if you can. Every single person is a little different, from the size and strength of their hand, wrist, arm, etc., and each person can handle the recoil/weight of a gun differently.

Keep in mind the commonality and cost of ammunition; if 9mm does what you need it to, there's no reason to go with something bigger because it's 'cool.' Remember, bigger is often louder, which isn't usually a good thing in a survival scenario.

Ideally, from what I've gathered, my end goal is going to be: a 9mm pistol, because 9mm will kill, especially zombies, ammo is cheap, and common.

A shotgun, because nothing does what a shotgun does.

Lastly will be the rifle(s). Ideally, if you need a rifle to shoot it, you can probably avoid it. Not always, but more than half the time, theoretically.

I've got more thoughts on it, but I don't want to hijack your thread any more. As Bama said, trust the TR."

"Check out the Taurus PT92 which is a improved version of the Beretta 92 in 9mm.
I own one and it hasn't giving any issues in over 20yrs.
It will also except Beretta 92 mags but Beretta won't except Taurus mags."

"The revolver I always wanted to own was a Colt Python. One of the finest .357s ever made."

"Buy an SKS with a hinge magazine. the stripper clips are way faster than normal magazines. this should be the main weapon of your party. the sks is as durable as the ak.

everyone should have a pistol. glocks are preferable, 9mm is what you want. 9mm with big mags.

one person in your party should have a shotgun. another person shuld have a crossbow"

" .357 revolver is, imho, an excellent choice. With a couple of speedloaders and some practice the limitation on number of rounds shouldn't betoo serious unless you face a big crowd. If you do, running was probably a smart move anyway.

Of all the guns in our house, my wife prefers my old Ruger Security Six for home defense when I am on the road. The first round is a shotshell and the next 5 are hollowpoints.

That is a plus of revolvers is that you can use specialty rounds such as shotshells."
