Types of Preppers You Should Avoid

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to self-defense weapons, and different guns are better suited for different situations. Check out our 11 of our top picks in the list below.

Self-Defense Weapons for When SHTF

The gun you choose for self defense will be different from the gun your choose for perimeter protection. Handguns are more convenient, can fit in a purse or waist holster, and are much easier to conceal. On the other hand, rifles might be the better choice for defending your home, when you may need to shoot an attacker from a distance. And even within these two categories, there are hundreds of different calibers, brands and types of guns to choose from.

Choosing a survival weapon is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. But with all the options available to you, making that choice can seem overwhelming. You may not always be able to carry a gun so I make sure I carry a knife and a tactical pen for those days I have to leave my gun behind.

Our friends at Outdoor Warrior have put together a list of 11 Types of Guns That Will Keep You Alive Come Doomsday. They’ve broken down some of the best guns for survival and why you should consider adding them to your arsenal. Here are the guns they’ve chosen:

The Bushmaster Carbon 15 M4 Carbine is small, light, and very durable. The M4 Carbine is made in the tradition of AR-15 rifles combined with modern features like the space-age Carbon 15 composite molded receivers.

This rifle may not pack the same punch as some of the others, but what it lacks in power it makes up for in convenience. Another rifle that is great for survival situations is the Girandoni Air Rifle, check it out here. 

5. Glock 36

The slim and sleek Glock 36 is a perfect concealed carry weapon. Sometimes you can’t always carry an actual gun, so I find this to be a great backup. 

6. Glock 17

The Glock 17 is a popular handgun among law enforcement officers. It’s a little heavy, but when handled correctly it shoots with great accuracy.

7. Sig Sauer P226

The Sig Sauer P226 is a compact, lightweight handgun, but it still has plenty of power. And at such an affordable price, you truly get some bang for your buck.

If you prefer a revolver, the Taurus Judge is a solid choice. This gun is ideal for close-quarter combat and self defense.
