If I can't hit it with my pistol, I'm using explosives on it. Unless it's a really long ways away then I might have to go borrow someone's .338.

I carry a G19 daily because it's not practical to carry an AR carbine concealed lol. If I could only have one in a shtf situation it would be the AR.

I shoot handguns a lot more often, but would definitely select a rifle if I could only have "one gun" for all of eternity.
Honestly, I'd like to shoot rifle a lot more often but ammo is way too expensive and I don't have the patience/time to reload rifle.
Oddly, the shotgun is the firearm I shoot best "naturally". I just don't have anyone to shoot clays with.

Snub nose - never mind why.
Dude... Really?
You must be an amazing shot... I'll just leave it at that.
For me, I'd keep a rifle. I just enjoy shooting it better.

I own guns for fun and for no other reason. Having said that I find long guns more fun to shoot in most situations. Unfortunately it takes me 45 minutes to get to a place I can shoot one, so usually when I shoot it's a pistol. Have 11 of them give or take.

I'm not really an amazing shot. I can hit a human sized target at 500' (kind of maximum possible range) with about 1 out of every 15 shots. As long as it's not moving. I am fairly accurate at 150+ feet.
My preference for distance stems from the fact that I carry my pistol so high that shooting close targets tends to burn the floor on some indoor ranges. So I play from a long ways away. (I pissed off the rangemaster at Bass Pro while I was qualifying for my CCW, too)

I shoot more handgun than long gun because of ammo cost,geography and convenience. I live in the city so the closest place for me to shoot a rifle is 40 minutes away...hence,I shoot more handgun. However,I enjoy long gunning more. Wether it be rifle or shotgun,I do prefer it and in SHTF situations,especially when you have to retreat to the wilderness because of some threat to your way of living in an urban environment,a rifle or shotgun is more practical. Serves two purposes...protection and survival.

I've shot more long guns in my life, but I've always preferred pistols. If there was some crazy law that said each person could only own a single firearm, that one firearm would be a DEagle .50AE. If I was in a SHTF situation and was only allowed one gun, it would be a Mossy 590. So, it depends on the situation, but my all time favorite gun, period, is the DEagle.
