Survival Handguns
Handguns are the tools of choice for self-defense. Rifles are better for
military combat. Shotguns
are better for home defense. For self-defense, nothing compares to a good
handgun.
Every adult should own and be capable of operating a handgun for their own
defense.
The handgun should be at least 9mm (or .38 caliber, if a revolver). The
handgun should be small enough for comfortable concealed
carry.
You should practice with your handguns to ensure that you can use them
competently. You should have a sufficient quantity of ammunition
on hand to be able to use these handguns effectively in a conflict.
