My Disaster Gun
If you had to choose one gun—and only one gun—to get you through a disaster (be it traditional or zombie-related), what would it be? If you could have one firearm (that’s realistically available) to protect yourself, your family and your assets, what would it be and why? Here are 10 choices made by some of the editors and contributors in NRA Publications. What would you choose? Let us know.

Dimension Africa
Thompson/Center's switch-barrel Dimension is affordable and versatile, but it needed to pass a rigorous field test to prove itself: Africa. NRA's John Zent had a chance to handle the Dimension while in Africa's Stormberg Mountains and brought back some photographic evidence of its success.

Building a Red Dot Race Gun
The Glock pistol has become one of the most common pistols on the planet, and has reached a level of ubiquity in handguns previously achieved only by 1911s. It’s now possible to build a competition ready race gun for USPSA Open Division on a “Glock” platform from the ground up, using no Glock parts.

Mossberg MVP Predator
The MVP Predator is a lightweight, sporter version of Mossberg’s MVP rifle, and it still accepts AR magazines.

GOTW: Beretta 92FS
Almost certainly known better by its military specification—M9—the Beretta 92FS is nothing short of an iconic semi-automatic handgun. Beretta's 92 series has been the standard pistol of the Army, Navy and Air Force since 1985, and the FS remains one of the most respected firearms in the world.

GOTW: SIG716
To create the 716, SIG took the proven features of its popular 516 series and applied them to an AR-based rifle chambered in 7.62 x 51mm. The 716 provides familiar handling and enhanced power, all from a trusted industry name—making it an ideal Gun of the Week.

Firearm Museums
With summer winding down, many families are planning short vacations or day trips to visit attractions not far from home. It so happens there are some fine museums of particular interest to shooters, and since they are scattered widely throughout the U.S., there should be at least one within driving distance.

Pocket Holsters
Pocket holsters are generally less expensive than other forms of carrying, making it more feasible to obtain a variety holsters. Of course if you’re into high-quality leather holsters, they are available. Most of these holsters can be found at a price that is less than retail at Cheaper Than Dirt.

GOTW: SRM Arms Model 1216
Billed as the first 16-round semi-automatic shotgun, the SRM Arms Model 1216 places itself firmly within the tactical home-defense shotgun discussion. Powerful and versatile, the 1216 is well worth considering if you're looking for a shotgun to defend your home—and it meets the high standards required of a Gun of the Week.
