- If you could only bring one gun to survive the apocalypse, which one is the best pick?
There is one gun that is clearly superior to all others - The Raging Judge Magnum - nothing else even comes close when it comes to the complete apocalypse challenge including:
- Self Defense
- Travel
- Ammo Scarcity
- Hunting
- and Exotic threats.

The Apocalypse Challenge
Do you think you have a firearm that beats the Raging Judge Magnum as the best apocalypse gun? Here are the minimum requirements to be considered a contender. Every requirement involves a reasonably likely apocalypse situation and is of life-saving importance:
1. Must be able to fire cartridges that penetrate Level 3A body armor.
2. Must be able to clear a misfire and fire again in 0.5 seconds.
3. Must be able to fire at least 4 shots without reloading.
4. Must be able to charge, clear a misfire in 0.5 seconds, and effectively fire with one hand.
5. Must be able to chamber and fire at least one of the most popular cartridges
(9mm, 5.56, 45APC, 40S&W, 22LR)
6. Must weigh no more than 5 pounds.
7. Must be able to fit in a kid’s school back pack.
Here are the rationales for why these seven requirements are essential for an apocalypse gun:
Why the Body Armor requirement?
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, civilians were murdered by armed men wearing body armor. Every town that has a police station has at least one suit of Level 3A body armor, as should every smart prepper. Facing foes wearing body armor is a credible and documented lethal threat in post disaster situations.
Why the 0.5 Second Clearing Requirement?
Compromised ammo will become more and more common the longer the apocalypse continues. It should be expected and planned for. This becomes a big problem if the first round chambered is a dud. Since the average shooting incident lasts only 3 shots, a delay in firing for more than 0.5 seconds can be fatal. Also, bears charge at 50 feet per second. A delay of more than 0.5 seconds in that case would also be fatal.
Why the 4 Shot Requirement?
The average shooting incident lasts 3 shots, so a weapon must be able to quickly return fire for at least that many shots plus one for insurance. Also, charging animals like bears may require multiple follow-up shots to stop. To beat the Raging Judge Magnum in this category your weapon must be able to exceed 6 shots without reloading.
Why the One Hand Requirement?
One-handed charging, firing, and clearing is required if you need to shoot and steer a vehicle, shoot while fleeing with supplies in hand or carrying children, or shoot while one arm/hand is disabled due to injury. All these situations are not unlikely to arise during an apocalypse.
Why the Ammo Requirement?
In an apocalypse, countless scenarios can separate you from your stockpile of ammunition or compromise the ammo you are carrying. Having a gun that fires one of the big 5 cartridges (9mm, 5.56, 45APC, 40S&W, 22LR) gives you the best chance of being able to scavenge or barter for ammo that you can use. To beat the Raging Judge Magnum a weapon must be able to fire 10 different cartridge types -3 of the top 5 and 7 other types (9mm, 45ACP, 22LR, 454 Casull, 38 Special, 45 colt, 410 2.5”, 410 3”,.380, and 44 Magnum-if you’re desperate).
NOTE: If a weapon can meet all the other criteria and offer other significant advantages over the Raging Judge Magnum the following cartridges could also be considered: 12 Gauge (5.5% of ammo sales), .308 (5%), 7.62x39 (4%), and 38 Special (3.3%).
Why the Weight Requirement?
Multi-day foot travel may become a necessity during the apocalypse. The backpacking rule of thumb is that gear carried should weigh 20% of the hiker’s unburdened weight (so a 150lb hiker should carry about 30 lbs). Most backpackers have trouble getting to 20% and that’s without carrying a weapon. So any weapon over 5lbs will result in sacrificing some other critical, life-saving supplies and tools - especially on extended trips (remember, 2 quarts of water alone consumes 4lbs of weight).
Why the Backpack Requirement?
A kid’s school backpack is the largest size pack that is not likely to arouse suspicion while walking around in populated areas. Weapons that fit into those packs will also fit under a car seat. In a post disaster situation, you will likely have to visit/travel through towns or camps for supplies, medical attention, news, or human companionship. It is likely they will be occupied with some level of military, police, or militia presence, and have roadway check points/roadblocks. In these cases, non-concealed weapons may prevent your entry, be immediately confiscated, or get you shot on sight.
Rational Preps Literally the last firearm I would ever choose, how common is the 454? Better stock up on plenty of ammo for your ridiculous pistol
10mm glock maybe. Massive power in full 10mm loads but can fire .40 with no modification.
Rational Preps That's funny you call this gun the best apocalypse gun cause it can shoot 3 calibers. Good luck finding those max expansion rounds when shit is all to hell. Same with 454 casull. So you're left with 410 buckshot. Even that can be hard to find.
you forgot about the last of us zombies! and they will get us.
WE ALL FUCKED!
The concept of this gun maybe cool and nice. I see it more like a Alaska hiking gun with that versatility. The 454 and 45 are good options. But I have seen a few good demonstration of the shot gun capabilities and are really bad, almost useless
I legitimately cannot determine if this guy is trolling or not.
It has to be a troll.
Paul is this one of your videos meant to be a sarcastic parody of an imaginary prepper? Ok...Just watched the aliens part. This is surely a parody video. My comment to you on the Ammo Stockpile video was a sarcastic parody reply. You really got me going on these! Well done!
@Bob Bobbertson okay, but what if there's 2 mooses?
I think he is legit fudd or maybe a little frittata
when the ship hits the sand you will be lucky to have ANY firearms at all, they are coming for our guns, I suggest that you secure any firearms you have, and the pistols are easier to do that with!
The best gun for the apocalypse is the gun you own and know how to use well, and have ammo for.
If you’re planning on only using one gun in a SHTF situation you have failed the SHTF test. You should have multiple calibers and multiple weapons for any number of situations that may or may not occur. And I would for damn sure not trust my life or the life of a family member to a Taurus revolver! As a matter of fact my wife lost the upper half of her index finger due to a Taurus pistol Malfunction.
The muzzle velocity won't be the same as it is in the chart because The gun's barrel is only 6 in. The gun won't be able to get the maximum velocity out of the cartridge because of its barrel length
Ridiculous preps should be the name of this channel!!
The AR pistol is the best choice by the criteria he’s outlined here.
The judge is a ridiculous first choice for an apocalypse gun!
Impossible to find Raging Judge now thanks to this video lol
You have a hard on for a certain revolver?? You talk about how wonderful it is because it can do ALL these things.. But yet you will also need to carry all these different types of ammo. Also now the revolver is scoped? So you firstly you need to carry a scope for it and also sight it in using up much needed ammo.. Also when the swarms of drones attack, what? Stop, unload reload and continue? And when you say it can take down any of the following large animals using this specialized ammo, and the recoil from this firearm using this ammo is what? So now limiting the use of such a firearm only to those that can handle the recoil.. In your vids you talk about how crap .22 is for self defense yet you now say this can use it when ammo is lacking.. Ofcourse it's going to be lacking because the main ammo is scarce from the start.. If you have a hard on for this caliber then i guess it's perfect, if you have a hard on for a scoped revolver for your " end days" weapon then this is great. Self defense with a scoped revolver is gunna suck though..
Its an option not a necessity
Shit hits the ‘sand’? How undramatic! I’d say a fan may have a slightly different effect on the old “saying”.
Only time to be firing a hand gun is while moving to retrieve your rifle, ...just keeping it real!
There's no zombie apocalypse.
How are you firing other calibers are there barrel inserts?
Sounded like a red dead redemption clip
Im gonna head to every gunshop in my area (7 shops total) and ask if they carry the Casoul.
Ps. I already know the answer
if someone has a knife and is tying to kill you, and all you have is a flintlock pistol, then that is the best gun. cause it is the one you have.
And if you miss…you can club them to death with a flintlock 😂
Though…you’d be better off with percussion caps…until you run out anyway.
I felt like you were going to pitch me a BBQ sauce with the accent.
Quantum of Zen 444 zesty or tangy ?
lol nah bro, hes advertising a ford trukk
.44 Magnum BBQ SAUCE!
Now to go with your Judge Maximum you going to need your BBQ grill with Bullseye bbq sauce for that roadkill you are going to eat for SHTF scenario. Include your F-150 Ford Raptor when on the go and to carry your Judge Maximum and bbq grill and all the bbq sauce you can carry.
I'm sure he has a very majestic moustache.
It's pretty funny how anti ammo stockpiling you are because it's supposedly a larping fantasy yet your ideal gun hinges on scavenging ammo of dubious quality.
@puppy dog the point is that relying on the off chance you find ammo is stupid when the option to stockpile ammo that'll go bang everytime is still on the table.
pointman1997 you can’t bug out with that much ammo. But with adapters give you the option to scavenge
@@doasido5757 according to his other videos you'll never need many rounds to begin with, and scavenging is still an option even with only one caliber. Especially considering that that one caliber is one of the most used rounds in the country even before counting leo and mil usage
pointman1997 what gun are you referring to.. maybe 9mm
@@doasido5757 9mm, 556, and 40sw to a lesser extent
"I bet you can't make a case for the worst gun being the best."

@@Anton43218 ak
Literally any ak
@Mike Byrne well what if i want to fire 2 or more of most common types of cartridges?
@@Anton43218 I'd rather have a short barrel double barrel shotgun with screw in chokes, and a birds head grip. Topped off with a dual tritium/fiber optic bead sight and a high quality green pressure activated laser.

Interesting to see you here on the subject of SHTF! Love your informative videos, God bless you man

@@46god spelled pm makarov wrong
@@West_Coast_Mainline no you spelled “hi-point c9” wrong
True
@@salmonsandwich3183 if you have ever talked to a veteran. You know they have no clue what their kill count is. Long range fire fights make it impossible to find out. Did the enemy retreat or get hit? Who knows? Also some veterans don’t like that question. But I’m no expert I’m not a veteran
When you’re anti ammo stockpiling yet your favourite apocalypse gun uses some exotic rare ammo
You might as well just get a .357 magnum lever action and a .357 revolver. Because you could use both .357 and .38 special and they’re interchangeable. Take the rounds out of your revolver and put it in your rifle.
@@John-uy4jx yeah
@@RoniiNN okay then. Tell me where you can reliably find 454 cazador rounds
@@John-uy4jx I think the 38/357 mag lever gun is by far the best SHTF gun choice for most realistic scenarios.
Especially if you handload. 38 special 158gr over 2 grains of bullseye is quieter than a suppressed AR.
Full power 357 fired from a 16" or longer carbine is as powerful as a 7.62mm AK. With 180gr hard cast lead you can realistically kill any game animal in North America. If you get crappy ammo you can still manually cycle a lever gun. And if things REALLY go bad, a lever gun will even work with black powder.
Pair it with a 4" 357 mag revolver...that's a hell of a good REAL WORLD SHTF setup.
@@Valorius I would agree with some things you are saying. You are kind of far off on the .357 mag power though. A super aggressive +p .357 hits at roughly 780ft/lbs of muzzle energy. A 7.62x39 from an AK in a standard 123gr bullet hits at about 1500ft/lbs. So, the .357 has a little more than only half as much energy as a 7.62x39.
The reason why an AR or Glock are ultimate “apocalypse guns” is because they are everywhere in available calibers
And a 12 gauge. Or any 9mm handgun by a reputable manufacturer at all.
You're also forgetting ARs and Glocks and be field stripped with ease so many malfunctions can be fixed by the user and parts can be replaced with ease. They also just..work.
@@bigpep7987 replacement parts would be an issue to consider in the long run but since the weapons are common it shouldn't be that hard, also I would love to find a full auto lower.
@@Razor-gx2dqyou can run out of ammo faster
Modular, and very reliable.
Calls the AR-15 a "gimmick gun" goes on to recommend the ultimate gimmick gun as the last and most important firearm you could own.
he's right
fuck compliance, get the parts to build a *REAL* M16
The Taurus Judge is worse than a gimmick! It is Garbage!!!! The Marlin 336 is common, .30-30 is common, and has killed every animal in North America up to and including brown bear! And that little Ruger SP101 is concealable and can shoot .38 Special, .38 rat shot and .357!!! And those are easy to reload using cast bullets, .30-30 too!
yeah he has points but alot of it is nonsense any revolver that can shoot 9mm would work or just a full metal pistol but he still has sone points
The Judge is just plain unimpressive. The more things you try to do with any single firearm, the worse it is going to be at any particular thing. If you want versatility, get a pump shotgun.
In a fairness no gun is perfect. If that was the case every one would have it and there would be no need for any other gun. And as far as the end of the world as we know it I don't think there would be any law Inforcment or government to do check points so not to worried about that. I would just stick with the m16 a handgun and a 12g.
I watched this whole thing eagerly awaiting the moment I could scroll down to read the comments.
Same here, saw comments about this channel being sponsored by Taurus, just as expected.
What were your general views on the quality of the comments?
Markus Childers me too
You waited to read?
I read the comments first........I want to know the reason you would want a handgun that jumps out of your broken wrist after one shot and gets put away forever, or is used for payment for a card game debt
This video was brought to you by Taurus...
sounds about right
Taurus is one of my favorite gun companies.
@I'm Cheech worse than hi point?
drzflyest4 I’ve seen multiple Taurus firearms malfunction from the company, I’ve seen zero hipoints fuck up. Hi points are ugly, heavy, cheap junk but they work.
@@scottl886 2018 FINALLY some respect for hi-points :-)
Just carry this huge revolver with you, it's all you ever need! OK that and ten pounds worth of moon clips, cylinder adapters for 9 different calibers, an assortment of 12 types of ammo, and several tourniquets to apply when you get into a firefight with people whose guns hold like several times as much ammo and reload several times faster.
It would be perfect if the sleeve had a .40 S & W / 10mm Auto specification, .357 magnum / .38 special, .327 federal magnum / .32 H & R magnum / .32 S & W long / .32 S & W, .22 WMR specification sleeve. ..
LOL
@@olivertheperson-ws1my where tf did you here that? Lmao 3 shots isn’t a gun fight. That’s domestic violence.
@@WhatchaDoodle97 it’s literally in the video homie and he pulled up that stats too
@@sharkwang1542 I’m not really going off of this guys info. He’s trying to compare shooting in a domestic location where people may only fire a couple shots vs a gunfight which is the likely scenario if we’re going to talk about end of days type shit. They aren’t the same thing. What I was asking was other than the video,.. where did he find that statistic and then I’d like to see the definition of their terms. Because I’ve seen a gunfight and I’ve seen a shooting, they’re different in the sense that one is a prolonged and carried out engagement and includes suppressing and moving on a target while the other one, a shooting, is typically self defense and when you’re within 21 feet or so of the assailant when shots are fired extinguishing the threat. The nature of the scenarios are different.

All ammo is short right now lol
@@SuperBommer1 serio, dang
I think, and this is just my opinion here, that in an apocalypse scenario, you may end up in combat with more than one threat at a time. Unlike in most cop and criminal encounters where there is only one shooter or threat. So, I would then say that round capacity is a concern.
Danny Green correct.
If you're outnumbered in combat in an apocalypse you should probably just run.
I agree Dan, maybe at first there will be more mono e mono encounters but as time goes on, it will become group vs group, like survival group vs raider group. Most humans do better in groups than solo.
capacity, caliber versatility to deferent objectives, and very core 6 months plus out ... commonality of of ammunition - where do you find the specific type of ammunition your using and is it scavengible - no, I'd have to stick with .22, .9mm, 12g, .223/5.56, and 7.62
I think that comparing the average law enforcement/ criminal encounter in New York, to what you would always encounter in an apocalyptic scenario some poor judgement...
Fudds man, they never cease to amaze me, the crazy thing is that normies are watching this thinking they are learning something... (AK-47 = 7.56) xD what...
Oh don't forget how he called a 45 acp a "45 apc" 😆😂😂!!!

Mackenzie Owens I laughed hysterically when he mentioned scarcity as an important criteria and the recommends a handgun that eats mostly uncommon chamberings

@@thatfrog05 You didn't pay attention... it's not the 454
AK 7.56 caliber rifle? I must have missed that one. 🤔
45 APC was another good one 7:35
Exactly . Ask the cops from the north Hollywood shootout about the AKs with armor piercing rounds being whizzed by what gun they wish they had .
You could also ask why the soviets changed to 5,45x39, the armour back then could only withstand pistol caliber rounds and they were using chinese steel core ammo witch is neither sharpened nor hardened and NOT ARMOUR PIERCING
Soviets changed the caliber due to velocity/damage comparison advantage of 5.45x39 over 7.62x39. smaller rounds make bigger damage to unprotected or light protected targets. And also because of higher capacity of ammunition that soldier can carry with him.
PatriotUSA51~ lol I was thinking the same way. !!

@@stever8776 For self defense? It's possible, but you should try to get almost anything more modern. For hunting? YEEEES BIG YES. The colonists relied on the Brown Bess to put dinner on their tables. Musket balls can handle most North American or European game of any size. Muskets, ball lead, and black powder are (depending on where you live or buy it from) often much less restricted than centerfire weapons and ammo. It might not be an AR-10 or .30-06 bolt-action, but it was a weapon of choice for a reason. Time and money permitting, get good with a musket.
@@Hanzer-ns5bh
For the Zombie Apocalypse, eventually you very well might run out of ammo or leave your stash behind.
So I would have a modern rifle in .223 or in the Northeast a 30-30 (as a 30-30 is the most popular deer round so it's easy to find ammo almost anywhere i.e. gas stations, hardware stores and even big box stores)
and a 9 mm handgun for self defense.
But to preserve my ammo I would have a
modern reproduction flintlock
Pennsylvania / Kentucky rifle in .50 caliber.
You don't want a musket like the Brown Bess. They are not rifled and are inaccurate at 50 yards.
A well made new copy of a traditional Pennsylvania rifle or a shorter rifled copy of a Jaeger rifle will put food on the table. And they are accurate up to 300 yards.
even more so its like finding a phone battery in shtf
You can actually make primars two

Not anymore :(
imagine trying to shoot 454 casull one handed. my wrist hurt thinking about it
I feel like the ability to consistently make a 100 yard shot within 6 inches or so is probably more important than a lot of the other requirements you list. The fact is that it's way easier to shoot long guns quickly and easily than handguns. They're more stable and ergonomic. A 8-10 inch barrel AR-15 probably beats all of your requirements. You'd have to go with a slim barrel and some lightened components to get sub 5 lb. Though that is kind of arbitrary. But it's easily possible. And with that you get a better fire rate, a gun that is far easier to shoot, and the capability to reach out to 2-300 yards. Plus, shooting more than 1 454 cassul round quickly is gonna be a bitch. And that ammo is very uncommon. If you must also have a handgun, bring a glock along or even this judge. But a handgun is a poor choice for a primary weapon. It's harder to use, far less useful for hunting, and the ammo for this one is rare.
This video considers you only rely on one weapon, and in that, i have to agree with the video. What you bring up, though, is also valid - and you could just as well have an AR and handgun. But that is where you realize ammo supply is gone, and thus you would have more and more issues with an automatic weapon. Pretty sure an AR15 and a pistol in .38 special or .45 ACP would be no worse of a combination at least at the start
All excellent points sir. However, this video bases its entire premis on the odea that you can only have one gun. Therefore, i can see why they went this route.
All very good points, except one thing: in reality, you don't need to carry only one gun. You can carry a rifle/shotgun/bow as a primary and leave the handgun as a backup (which is what handguns are for really). You'll probably will be anyway, depending on what ammo and weapon you can get. You are far more likely to be adapting to your actual circumstance rather than trying to pursue some ideal of "ultimate apocalypse gun". So you can easily bring the hand-canon mentioned in the video and whatever rifle you find suitable.
The video really mostly addresses the hypothetical question rather than a real one. "If I want one, uber gun that will be useful in most end-of-the-worlds scenarios, which one would it be?". This thing is more useful for someone very experienced using high-recoil handguns than your average person. It already assumes that you have a kit and you are comfortable fiddling with ammunition.
But really, that question is more of a fantasy scenario than a real one. Most apocalypse will happen far too fast to really tailor your arsenal for (solar flares, nuclear war, alien invasion) or you will have years of advance warning (asteroid strike, economic collapse and *cough* global warming*cough*). Plus, I'm in the camp of simplicity and redundancy, rather than trying to get one piece of kit to do everything possible.
Andrew, You did not watch this vid as he covered the fact that this gun will fire several different rounds including .22 with adapter.
Ogre: IF you have the adapter that you had to buy separately and store (and screwed without them), which you have fiddle with every time you change caliber. You're screwed if you lose them or they become damaged.
An even better weapon would be the M47 Medusa, which can also fire different kinds of ammo WITHOUT adapters (although the accuracy suffers). It was a failure commercially because it is wiser to buy several decent guns using the most widely available ammo rather than try to make a gun that can fire several different types of ammo.
I just stumbled upon this video and found it comical. First of all, Taurus weapons are known to have issues or higher breakdown rates. I would never trust my life to a gun manufacturer known to have problems. Second, in a true SHTF scenario, you want a compact rifle that is probably in the 5.56 category. One commenter made a great point about engaging multiple threats at one time and 6 rounds ain’t gonna cut it. 5.56 is small, lightweight, powerful and plentiful. The gimmicks to shoot other rounds are simply gimmicks and I would never trust my life on them. Personally, I would use my Tavor x95.
Tavor x95 is wonderful. I love mine. 100% agree.
I'll stick to the SKS
(not everyone lives in Freedomstan)
The SKS is a great all around rifle, I'd take one into a fight, and I've actually been in gun fights.
TankerD18 what?
TankerD18 actually?
@@Josh-bc9ps Probably not, just anyone could say that. I've fought as a mercenary in the Rhodesian Bush war in '73. Let me tell you; the AKM is a good assault rifle. The reliability of an AK-47, but much more controllable and light-weight. Not sayin hes lyin, but anyone could say it and be convincing.
Butch DeLoria I know seems like a bold statement. Because I’m in the space core and I have had alien look at me like they wanna kill me.
Absurd pick. A good pump 12 Ga would be the best one gun choice. Besides, Taurus is well known for hit or miss quality.
I have always said my only "one gun" scenario would be my short barreled Remington 870. Heck, you can get ammo at K-Mart's empty shelves after SHTF. The stereos and candy bars will be gone, but those 12 gauge shells will still be there.
Right up until someone sees you coming from a mile away with a long gun and drops your ass.
Saiga 12 would give an edge. Big edge.
@robertray, im not sure what that acronym you used means but in regard to the aformentioned argument, you would be absolutely amazed at how quickly small militia forms of government are going to form after shtf. Unlike the moronic fantasies of people such as yourself who are in piss poor physical shape and have little practical training, anarchy never really lasts long. When these small independent societies start forming one of the huge aspects that is going to be enforced by their form of law enforcement is going to be gun control. Yes, you heard that correctly, these kinds of people are going to love their guns but only when they are the ones in control of those guns. If someone, even in a seemingly peaceful situation, sees you walking about into a town with a rifle slung over your shoulder they are going to get their people to demand your firearm at gun point. Unlike your video game fantasies where you see yourself being Rambo, you will comply, a slightly more concealable pistol that gives you some versatility for survival and self defense is the way to go IF you can only choose one firearm. Thanfully, i dont have to choose.

Is this a Taurus paid marketing campaign video? Or troll.
🤣🤣🤣Hehehehehe🤣🤣🤣
I really want to buy Raging Judge Magnum after watching this video.🤣🤣🤣
What am I doing wrong? not stupid
The one issue I see is with the special cylinder adapters. What if they are lost, stolen, etc... At that point, it will be unable to use any of the common rounds.
Simplicity in stress is paramount, and keeping track of very small adapters seems like a nightmare.
Wait, he picks a Taurus to see him through the apocalypse?!?! LMFAOROTFL!!!!!
@puppy dog Pew pew, Im in the cult of "Use the tool that works." Taurus is the HiPoint of South America without the lifetime no questions asked warranty.
@puppy dog Neither the Taurus nor the High Point IMO will ever be accused of being practical, useful or attractive. In a SHTF scenario, I would want a gun that is easy to maintain, reliable, with ammo and parts readily available. If a Taurus or a HiPoint are all you can afford, I would save up my money and buy a better gun, I wouldnt want to go through hell with a Kmart gun.
I was talking about POS HiPoints and Taurus guns. You've never actually seen an AR, have you, let alone know the price. HighPoints can be bought all day for under $150 US, and depending on the Taurus like a TCP for under $200. You should google "Taurus Judge Kaboom".
Oh, you again.
What you and Father McGilicutty do Saturday nights is none of my business nor the focus of this "conversation".
That said, thank you for illustrating your lack of knowledge on the topic at hand.
Lets take your rebuttal apart:
Lower price AR - you reference an 80% lower kit. An 80% lower - for people like you who are a little fuzzy on the details - is an almost complete lower receiver that requires you mill out the fire control (trigger, hammer, disconnector, selector) cavity as well as the pin holes to hold the parts in place. A jig is very helpful, as well as tooling that allows you to mill out the material. You also have to know what you are doing - this would rule you out puppy. Had you known what you are about, you would have linked a PSA Daily Deal for an upper kit and buy a lower at your LGS.
You then reference Cabelas. People who buy firearms at Cabelas rightfully pay an idiot tax, as Cabelas has a hefty markup on their guns. And then to buy a Taurus at Cabelas - that's just adding insult to injury, but you do you.
While Im not gonna call you a Fudd...I mean, c'mon.
I think I will stick with the magnum research 4570 pistol that one adds one more round that I can use in the apocalypse
Anyone notice he included the Coronavirus in his intro?
And...?
On a 2 year old video.
That was influenza. A lot of virus are that general shape.
I disagree with the assertion that an eight pound revolver is good for anything other than a replacement anchor for a small boat. An M-1 Carbine would serve better in nearly all kinds of shooting scenarios.
paper weight!
No a Good AK is better
I will also vote for the M1 carbine, one of the most proven and dependable weapons ever made.
As much as I like the M-1, I wouldn't necessarily pick one as a first choice in a grid-down scenario. Their mags are rarer and of inconsistent quality, and they're picky eaters. Compared to the Garand, M14, and Mini-14/30, it's the Garand-action rifle I'd be most hesitant to run.
Good choice M-1 carbine. Ammo?
I am now certain that this is a parody channel.
The best gun for the apocalypse is one that fires uncommon cartridges?
But that you can purchase a variety of adapters for to shoot more common rounds.
I can only imagine the phenomenal accuracy you'll achieve firing .22 caliber rounds out of a .45 caliber 6" barreled revolver.
I'd still rather carry my g19 with sub2000 in my pack
I do that ...... exactly
Is no one going to talk about the silver cross delivering slug he made? That needs to be put in a movie. Guy is obviously a cowboy vampire hunter or something!
Terrible choice. I'd pick any 9mm handgun and/or a 12g shotty. They both will knock out your standard target, and the ammo for both are VERY available.
It can save ur ammo, and u can put bullet adaptors or what ever their called, so shouldnt ig be the same as shooting a glock if it can fit a 9mm and have a 6in barrel?
also intimidation a handgun vs a shotgun which would you be more scared of if you had a ugn and training too? to be honest you'd be frightened of both but large weapons carry a certain intimidation factor
Have fun being mobile with that
Just throwing my 2 cents into the argument....I don't plan to have one gun. I plan tp have a 9mm handgun with 4 seventeen round mags and a lever action chambered in 30-30 with about 1500 rounds stashed away. My wife will be carrying a Ruger 10-22 with four 25 round mags and another 1500 rounds as back-up. What you're talking about with WORL conditions is like living in the old west. If you don't camp, fish, and hunt and don't know how to dig in and sleep in the snow, you're dead meat.
@Student Evan Savoie not my vp9. over 2000 rounds and not one jam.
I love this video! But I strongly disagree.If in an apocalyptic world I want something that will be at least accurate to 100 yards and the ammunition not weigh you down carrying as much as you can.A good 357 or 10 mm I believe would be a much better weapon and ammunition might be a little easier to scavenge than 454 and more people are less likely to have sprained wrist and scares on their forehead.Actually a good semi automatic 22 rifle in a true apocalypse would be better than the judge….jmho.
AK Pistol with arm brace. 1.) Plenty of Power. 2.) very reliable and ergonomic. 3.) 30-50 round capacity. 4.) Arm brace allows for easy one handed fire. 5.) 7.62x39 is very common and is the cheapest ammo to stock up on. 6.) fairly light for its size, not gonna get any lighter without loosing your firepower. 7.) Arm brace could be folded to one side and weapon could be easily stowed in a bag or under a car seat..... Ar15 pistol with folding arm brace would be a good contender as well. 454 casul is not common and heavy as fuck. Id rather have a small compact carbine.
Ak with folded stock work too,ya know
one-handed shooting is never a good a idea,especially when you using something like a 762x39mm or a 454 casull
Did you just call an AK ergonomic
It's the end of the world for crying out loud. Throw a stock on there. Lmao
An AK pistol would be a high ranking choice for me, but I think an AR beats it out due to the uppers. If you don't have an SBR or want an SBR during rule of law, you can have an AR Pistol, and a separate AR rifle. Then, if the apocalypse happens, fuck off with the tax stamp bullshit, and throw the AR pistol upper on the rifle lower, and then keep the rifle length upper with you in case you need the added range/accuracy. You can also, if you want to deal with it, have different uppers in different calibers. For example, I can throw a 5.56 11" upper on there for when I am worried about being attacked by people, then swap out the upper with a 6.5 grendel, 6.8 spc etc with a 20" barrel and scope for hunting/needing to make a long shot with some decent longer range energy. Then, if shit gets really hairy, I can swap the upper out again with a .50 BMG and stop a truck. Good luck doing any of that with your AK pistol. Granted, at that point, I would really just have several different guns with me, like an ak pistol that I swapped a real stock onto, and a .308 bolt gun/ar 10, but since we are working within the parameters of this video, and a one gun only choice, AR lower with an infinite list of uppers would be my choice. (Since the raging bull gets to use cylinder inserts to skirt around the lack of .410 that actually works in a judge, 45 lc or 454 casul, I get to bring extra AR uppers to skirt around have just 5.56 at my disposal).
You are more a man than I if you think you can fire a .50 BMG on an AR platform.
"7.56" AK-47 round....... its 7.62... by x39
This idiot confused 5.56 with 7.62 hahaha, truly expert
I understand this is just a silly thought exercise and it's sometimes fun to think about what you would do in an apocalyptic scenario, but I've always figured that fire will be king in the apocalypse. A single molotov cocktail can bring down just about any house or simple fortification and is pennies to make. Your house may not even be targeted- a city-wide fire could take you down easily and you couldn't stop it. The civil wars in the middle east are very revealing. I'd say plan on fireproofing your setup, or plan on moving around a lot before even considering specifics on guns.
And even if apocalypse doesnt happen you are safe from fires.
Nejla Akyuz SHTF will happen soon
As soon as a saw "high capacity a low priority" I stopped watching. Anyone who has ever taken a tactical course knows how fast you exhaust your magazine. Capacity is a HUGE factor.
nerd
Useful if you’re ever assaulted by a class.
Take a combat pistol class with this huge hunk of shit and it'll be sold immediately.
Compared to a G19, both from the holster, the Glock will have 5 rounds on target before the 454 can clear.
I don't agree with his pick personally, but he did back his claims with research and facts. He actually used sources that I discovered independently when I decided to make the switch from 9mm to .357 mag. If you want to counter his claim an say that capacity is "HUGE" you should include sources and stats of your own to back that up. There is research behind his pick although I would personally go another direction.
@@graymadden8707
True. Capacity only matters if the gun is used in a gunfight. If it's purpose is hunting or target shooting, it doesn't matter.
If it's going to be used for defense, capacity and the ability to quickly reload, is paramount. The truth is, after his 6 shots, he has a paperweight in his hand.
Worse still, his gun empty weighs 70 ounces. That's equal to a Glock 19 and FIVE fully loaded magazines (75 rounds).
This has been the funniest gun related vid by far! Good on you man, please make more!
"Requirement: Anmo scarcity" How likely are you to find .454 Casuul in the average gun owner's safe? Not very. I'd rather carry a 9mm Hi-point than this thing. And a word about body armor. When the armor is struck, The energy from the bullet still has to go somewhere. That somewhere is the wear's body. From what I've been told, being hit whole wearing body armor is like being punched by a linebacker. This is especially true for soft body armor. As you can imagine, being punched by a linebacker is going to make for a pretty shitty day.
Good thing that this pistol fires more than just the Casull round then, huh?
Scarcity= when you run out of casull you can use the adapters to chamber more common rounds that you come across.
Did you not see the part about the caliber adapters?
My area doesn't even have .454 Casull ammo in store because we don't have anything large enough like bears, to warrant its use. Biggest caliber in my area is .45-70 because it can be used for hunting White Tail deer. Second biggest is .30-06. I'm just going by what I see most commonly available in gun stores and other stores that sale ammo and firearms. So if I were to stake my life on a Taurus Raging Judge like this video states, my ammo choices would fall to just .45 LC and .410. I'm going to just stick with my M1A and AR15.
High powered revolvers provide great ballistics in a compact platform.
However, their major disadvantage is their slow rate of fire and low mag capacity. This makes them terrible for addressing multiple targets. Considering the fact that in an environment of lawlessness, many criminal threats would consist of multiple attackers, this could make them far less effective than semiautomatic pistols or rifles.
Exactly. I think this dude believes that the apocalypse will reset us instantly to the wild wild west where one on one gunfights were "all the rave"😂 good luck with that heavy revolver when enemies close in on you suited and booted with fully auto assault rifles
Personally i think in the "apocalypse" where no one can rely on an ambulance or medical care, most people will be more averse to getting into protracted gunfights.
@@D3RRICKG nope, groups of full auto people with quickly end each other.
in complete chaos gunfight will quickly drop to a rare thing with ammo being increasingly rare.
Nobody smart is walking around with several guns and mags when there's no water.
All you have to do is wait for the people carrying lots of weight yo drop dead of dehydration, then Loot them.
Next time your out hunting, try sprinting with your rifle(unloaded) it's cumbersome, especially if you have to climb, swim, or hide.
im not making any argument one way or the other, but do keep in mind. as it sits today, on average when a single person encounters two assailants, how rare that may be, they tend to only shoot 6 rounds. as opposed to it being just one, it typically ends up being 10 rounds.
theories on why are up in the air.
@@oscarbear7498 i think you underestimate how much ammo there is out there.
If that is your carry-weapon post WROL, then I suggest you crawl into a manhole and stay there, to keep a halfway decent rifle marksman from parting your scalp from 200 yards away.
Jerry Miculek himself, would laugh at the thought of choosing 6 shot revolver as single weapon in a apocalypse type scenario.
Pure comedy.
If your hair gets parted from 200 yards away, it won't matter what gun you have. Or wait... are you thinking that you would be WATCHing someone 200 yards away while they proceed to part your hair? Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't see any scenario other than cover and run, that will change the fact that someone 200 yards away is ready to part your hair.
Take a moment to think about the scenario you're about to dis someone with.
Here's another scenario, far more likely: sniping from buildings in the suburbs or cover on the farm. Any military caliber would be more effective than that choice, and ammo would be as available on fallen opposition. 200 yards is a reasonable engagement distance.
I suspect the longer it went on the less trusting people would be and the need for range would increase...I would never personally have just 1 gun...I'm not a hoarder or collector but 3 is reasonable...pistols can be holstered and rifles slung same as a shotgun. Sig 716 patrol-sig in .357 sig and r870 for me
OK, did the thinking. Maybe you misunderstood, I meant part their hair, not get mine parted. Clearer now? I can hit a 50 cent piece at 200 yards with commendable regularity.
@@ashleynicely1046 For that I would choose a shotgun , because well , Marksmanship can't face too well close combat
And the most viable survival strategy for SHTF scenarios is banding together, whereas your typical shooting incident is a lone gunman against one or more police or armed citizens. So while you may want to ignore magazine capacity, magazine capacity will not ignore you, especially given how popular AR15s and their M4/16 cousins are in the states. So I would personally look less into police statistics and more into military statistics, because it will be militias that see you through such chaotic times, not the pistol at your side.
Good point, but most preppers I've met in the US are the "Lone Wolf" variety, people who lack the social skills to get along with the people around them even when they are fed and happy. I can't imagine them becoming social just because there is less food and government. Some will try to dominate others and take what they need, but that only works for so long. Gotta sleep sometime >_<
And yes, I don't include Mormons, who are preppers due to their religious beliefs. Chances are if anyone is going to make it out as a community, its them.
There's an article somewhere out there on the Internet written by a man who lived through several conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina that outlines this very idea. Numbers, not necessarily weapons, won the day (though armed men were obviously more successful).
@@Hanzer-ns5bh "lone wolf prepper" is an oxymoron.
So I'm assuming you EDC a raging judge with only 2 rounds in the cylinder? I mean that's all you statistically need right? 😂😂😂
Actually just 1, because the average rounds fired when someone leaves their house in self defense is 0.0000000001 rounds, so 1 is way more than enough. I'm a statistician
Where is the 10mm in all this? 775ft-lb -155gr -1500fps, with the capability of 14 +1 mag capacity in a semi auto. Seriously lethal stuff.
10mm revolvers are actually a pretty good choice you get 40 and 10mm
A hell of a better choice than the Taurus Raging Judge or another of the other gimmick revolver crossovers.
My god, does every video you produce lead to a stupid gimmicky governor like pistol? Are you getting a percentage or something?
b camp Actually similar thoughts have been through my mind in many ocassions over the debate what type of firearm would be adequate for SHTF scenarios, my choice would be the S&W Governor, due to the quality of the brand, but, I guess the Taurus Judge range can also be considered. What Rational Preps, is addressing here, the need for a multi purpose / calibre, yet can see you through in most situation. I can relate to what he is telling. IMO he has made a very clear point.
My thr333 A firearm that fires one caliber very effectively will always beat one that fires many calibers so so, there's a reason all militaries use assault rifles instead 410 revolvers, because assault rifles are far more effective
b camp At battle yes they are. But he's talking about a gun you carry on a mass migration. He's ignoring the long range threats because it's unlikely. I personally think he's taking it pretty realistic approach to this kind of scenario. I don't think of Smith & Wesson Governor, or one of the Taurus offerings would be a bad decision. The 454 Casull round, definitely gives you the option to fire a very powerful cartridge if needed. And revolvers are easy to shoot well. I don't see a problem with his Logic for the task. And if you want some real world data on a long range shooting involving a rifle an AR-15 and a revolver, you should look up the Vic Stacy shooting in Texas.
use whatever you like, stop spreading negativity here
SasquatchyCowboy long range threats during SHTF would be much more likely than those studies project. The higher propensity towards violence would mean that people are more likely to fire sooner in order to maintain standoff with someone they believe to be a threat.
I can promise you that if you and I got in a gunfight at any range, my AR would be 100% more effective than ANY handgun you could bring. Speed and accuracy just don’t exist at the same levels in handguns as in rifles. It’s not even a fair contest.
Dont forget unless you plan on shooting someone with 3a body armor this goes out the window. The most important thing is shot placement and accuracy with a firearm. Weight also plays a factor. The ragging judge magnum weighs 4.5lbs
Not to mention all these shooting scenarios assume rule of law and one on one encounter. Crazy people in groups make that "perfect choice" a heavy club at best.
Three Percenter I plan on shooting rogue cops defintely good thing I'm better trained them them from my military experience and physical shape I maintain

Ever heard of G2c?
The best is the one in your hand
With a revolver you can use black powder, which can be easily made so you could reload ammunition in a pinch
I believe Dave Canturbury had a series of vids on the subject. I know he does for shotgun definetely.
Bill Randall you can make a somewhat less effective black powder with charcoal and some other things, it may absolutely suck in comparison to modern smokeless powder but it would be better than nothing in a survival scenario.
.45LC is also BP cartridge, so this will work well, same for .410
Unless you are a chemist, your chance of being able to make homebrew black powder with random shit (literally probably) that is more powerful than your grandmas best right hook is about zero.
Buy 10kg smokless, it would be cheaper, easier, safer and it would also.. yah know, work.
No worries. I'm guessing that there is enough ammo squirreled away in the USA to kill everyone on the planet at least once and probably many times more than that.
Also did you just say "45 apc" !?!?!!?! Really
@Karl Schubert not really. Handguns all produce very similar ballistics until you step it up to big bore handguns and rifles.
@Karl Schubert you seemed to think 9x19 is underpowered compared to 40 or 45, when in truth, they all work about the same
@Karl Schubert a lot of that is to do with shot placement too. If you get hit in the shoulder with a 45 and get immediate medical attention you'll probably survive. Get hit in the heart with a 9mm or even a .22 you'll probably die. All I'm saying is pistol caliber wars are kinda stupid.
@Karl Schubert what? 😂
@@Eli-dd5jc you are correct about shot placement. But although I don't exactly agree with Karl Schuberts original statement about 9mm being strictly for compact pistols I get the point he is trying to make. And as you said if you bust somebody's shoulder with a .45 they likely would survive with immediate medical attention. They would probably be out of the fight though! If you shoot them in the shoulder with a 9mm maybe not. And a .22 I doubt would take anyone out of a fight for their life if taken in the shoulder. That being said if I was being shot at I would probably not have as good accuracy as I would like so I would rather put as much punishment on my attacker with each shot as I possibly could.

Please be bait
I can't even find.454 casull during ROL
he's talking about long term survive, not burning through ammo
Yeah five 9mm projectiles with no expansion quality, much less accuracy, and bad spread due to the puny handgun barrel. Just admit to being a shill and stop misleading consumers. Because sure more projectiles are better on paper but if the projectiles are unpredictable and have large recoil hindering aim on follow up shots than whatever fake advantage it gives you is not only diminished but could even serve as a hindrance. Not to mention you bring up weight. A polymer handgun or rifle while may not be as durable is significantly less annoying to deal with than that monstrosity. And another thing you brought up was concealibility. I don't mean to insert my thoughts on this or anything but the only way your "concealing" that thing is in a backpack or if you have some kind of duster coat or some shit and if its in your backpack out of reach its not going to be very useful when you get attacked. Just being versatile in ammo doesn't mean any of those ammo's are useful choices in independent scenarios.

@@matthewsmith7693 Think its worse than you imagine, as the only barrel contact is inside those removable sleeves inserted into the .410 chambered cylinder. Accuracy might be as bad as a derringer I'd imagine.
@@matthewsmith7693 The .45 colt maximum expantion load can only be used with .410 revolvers, so be careful not to accidentally load it into Derringer.
If your able to hit anything with the 454 your good, problem is most people will flinch when shooting this massive handgun, IT has a lot of kick and untrained shooters will have little luck with a round that large and fast, lots of kick and VERY LOUD and has a massive muzzle flash ALL not good things for a self defense round.
Overall I think his research is sound. I came across many of the same sources and statistics when I was making the decision to switch from 9mm to .357 mag. While his research was good, I disagree with the conclusion he came to. He latched on to the incident with 5 policemen wearing body armor and places a high priority in having a firearm that is capable of penetrating said body armor because of one incident. That's where he went wrong in my opinion. He discounted a lot of weapons that have strengths that will more likely be beneficial, in favor of the 454 Casull that has superiority in one scenario that has a relatively low probability of occurring.
That being said, I respect his research and his presentation. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'll be making a video on my opinion of this topic soon. I'm sure there will be folks who disagree with me.
What was the reason you switched to .357?
dude your retort was so calm we need more people on this website everyone else was making fun of him thanks for that but if i may ask. what do you think would be a good pick in this situation i honestly dont know what to get to protect my family
@@thememorablenovelist5876 For home self defense a .357 magnum is good. Revolvers have a longer pull but they are reliable, you'll just need to practice with it at 7 yards. If you want something easier that your wife could handle, an ar-15 chambered in .300 blackout. At close ranges, such as home protection, you don't really want something that could overpenetrate and hit some innocent bystander. Or get a round with maximum expansion in let's say a 308 if you want power. And of course, any 12 gauge shotgun is perfect for self defense. Buckshot or a slug/buckshot combo.
454 casull is a bullet I've never heard of or seen, and you're telling me it'll live up to ammo scarcity issues.
The gun’s ability to fire the other more common cartridges is it’s most useful quality, the .45acp, .410 and .45LC are much more common, and won’t break your wrist and smash into your face each time you pull the trigger. The abilities to shoot all the rounds the adapters use is good. The narrator is being funny in a way yet it’s not totally all a joke, though I don’t think i want a 5 pound pistol. I’d rather have a Smith & Wesson Governor or something. I’m not sure about the quality of the Taurus .45/410 firing series such as the Public Defender and others (preferably a stainless frame one)
@@MrRugercat45 410 and 45 LC are common?? Where?
I doubt the .22 sleeve would be accurate as the bullet would likely be bouncing down the tube of the .45. Nice for putting lead in the air, kind of like the .410 example. The versatility is nice, but that's all. I'll stick with what I have. Thanks for all your videos !
*500 magnum has entered the chat
I'll take my AK and XD over any single weapon. I can hunt with the AK, and reach out to range with it. If I need the pistol, I am in serious trouble or about to be (like taking down a charging boar or clearing rooms). I'll take the extra weight in exchange for a vastly wider range of capabilities.
AK for range ? Not
@@joecorrie1 Plus the weight of AK Ammo is pretty bad. 27 AK rounds = 133 .22 LR rounds weight wise. Its just the math, you can't carry enough AK rounds and all the gear to effectively "Bug Out" without a pack horse.
The best SHTF firearms should be the ones you can
Find ammo for easily
RELIABLE
You can use easily
Sure a bazooka is great, but again, where am I going to find ammo for it outside an army depot? There will be quite a bit of "battlefield pickups" from dead bodies and searches of homes and other shelters if you look.
Not saying under everybody you're going to get an UZI or a rocket launcher. But perhaps a few more 9mm rounds or a little j-frame .38spl 5-shot revolver.
I think you'd genuinely be better off with a good ol' Autmoatic Pistol Colt chambered in .45 APC. We won two world wars with it, and that's got to count for something.
1911's are great, but I think you're waaaay off to credit the US with "winning" WW1, and the 1911 certainly was NOT responsible for winning WW2, in which Germany is generally credited by military historians as having superior weapons technology. As for the pacific theater, ever heard of a physicist named Oppenheimer?
Fudd
@@Sweethands4 listen bud, that handgun carried our soldiers through the jungles of Okinawa, and the forests of Normandy. The Marines and soldiers fighting always complained that their Tommy guns and M14s were too big, always bumping on trees and getting caught in bushes. The handiness of a pistol combined with the deadly .45 power made the 1911 the ultimate fighting weapon. I would no, I carry one every single day, and it's never let me down.
@@joelerk6298 You should read the reply I sent to sweethands over there. If you can argue against those facts, then I just don't care about your feelings, sweaty.
@@homosidorovich4753 this is America bro you can carry what the hell you want and I can call you what the hell i want
Ok..took THAT long to get to an OBVIUOS TRUTH...
Use what you HAVE...
To get what you NEED!
Any gun that is best for taking out mutant apocalypse snail swarms is the one for me.
Everyone on here complaining about Taurus. All probably drive a Volkswagen. Ive had my Raging Judge for awhile now. Shot just about everything with it. Large game, small game. You name it. I take it out shooting most, it is one of my most favorite guns. Absolutely a blast to shoot. From Dragons Breath to Ball and Chain. Green tip Red Tip. 65,000 PSI Chamber. put whatever fits in the hole, and fire it! Any one of you doubters want to stand in front of one? I have an AR. I have shot guns. I have a 460XVR. I love all my guns. They all have advantages. But my favorite is my Raging Judge. It has never once failed!

Only one hand is needed for a 454 Casul? 8:56
Also why do you keep saying apc?
Minnesota Guy and depends on what cartridges shooting all that extra weight it's no problem shoot 45 Long Colt all day long
