Keep it civil.

Something that will get you through anything and always be there to fire. Something you can always count on, no matter what. Cold, heat, wet, dirt, mud, drops, falls, bites, claws.

Is there anything in your mind, that you trust to take all that and keep on tickin'?

I've heard of a HK USP lasting 200k rounds without parts change https://www.guns.com/news/2021/10/14/this-hk-usp-has-200k-rounds-through-it

It really depends on what your use case is. Are you an author looking for a gun for your post apocalyptic character or are you someone looking for a carry handgun?

I don't think I've ever heard of a Ruger No. 1 malfunctioning.

If you had to survive with one gun for the rest of your life, would you chose this?

Survive what? Survive where?

Potentially anything, potentially anywhere.

I reject the premise of the question. Different situations call for drastically different equipment:

  • A summer in the woods in Alaska poaching small game for food: bolt-action .22, maybe a CZ 457.
  • A winter in the woods in Alaska poaching small game for food: forget it. You're going to die if you're asking questions like this.
  • A desert island: flare gun.
  • Urban area, breakdown in social order in which you have gunfights with your neighbors over a rapidly dwindling supply of resources: Lincoln's Repeater.
