Ya can't go wrong with a Contender, unless... you need a real quick second, third, etc. shot, then, a good semi-auto is hard to beat, rifle OR pistol. Make mine a pair, 1911 .45 and a 1022. Putting this in writing got me to thinking... how many out there (in a survival situation, of course) believe they could drop a deer with a .45? For the sake of brevity, lets specify; you're within 25 feet of said deer, and you've got seven in the mag, and one in the pipe, empty out if need be.

P.S. Think 'Danny DeVito in "Hoffa" '
