Ruger Blackhawk Convertible in 45 Colt/45 ACP can shoot 21 diff calibers. Ruger in 357 can shoot 357, 38sp, 38 long, 38 short, 38 acp and 38 super in a pinch. Few other European rounds as well. Add a 22mag/lr convertible and 327 Fed Mag and you have 4 revolvers that can shoot nearly 40 calibers. If you’re a scrounger and do the research, you should be able to find something.

Where I live, 357 mag ammo is easier to find than 44 mag, plus 357 is easier to shoot accurately than 44 for me. I don’t think the 357 is a bad choice, but my preferred SD gun is the Glock 19.

I’ve never been a nit picker, but where in the heck did you get that picture of that idiot racking the slide with his finger in the trigger guard. Trekker Out

The best handgun for SHTF is by far the one you have been practicing with and know how to use without hesitation. I don’t care if it is a BB gun or a cannon. You have to train with the gun you plan on using. You have to be able to place your rounds on the target, know how to maintain it, have plenty of ammo for it and not have to stop to read the users manual at the moment you need to use it. I love my glock 19 but it has too much kick for my girlfriend. She prefers something smaller for her concealed carry.
