Best Disposable Gun?

Back in mid-November Commander Zero wrote up a post on his favorite “disposable” gun. The post makes a lot of sense. Commander Zero points out that it is common to find people spend tons of money on quality gear but then go ultra cheap – aka “disposable” – when it comes to caches and such. I agree and I used to think this way myself.

Realizing that any gun is better than no gun if one finds themselves desperate enough to need the items buried in a cache – I suspect having some pretty good stuff put back would be advantageous.

Commander Zero states his choice for a high value/quality disposable gun  is the Ruger P95. I agree. Although he states around $200 can be spent on one I have never seen them going that low. My own choice is the Taurus G2 9mm. Yeah – the lowly low quality Taurus – that I’ve never had a problem with.  Hey – my experience is not yours.

The G2 can be purchased commonly for $200 on sale at a local shop new. I carry one daily at the moment so there is no reason I wouldn’t use one in a cache. Are there better choices? Absolutely – including Commander Zero’s Ruger P95. Are there worse contenders? Many.

    IMO.. I’ll add that if you can watch for them .. a private sale is less expensive and no form 4473. Stick with common calibers and cache some with it of course. If you have room for a second, consider a .22 (low weight and lots of ammo is cheap and lite.).
    Just a thought or two.

    gg58, (since this comment follows yours as well as Lightning Shako, i hope it is not laughed at too much.) The work i did on my job for decades has left my hands with less grip/increased pain that makes firing a larger caliber handgun difficult at the least. Even 9mm hurts….mostly stick to a 22 so i don’t quit altogether. In the confines of my limitations my best route is to pursue accuracy/effectiveness and a mindset that lets preconceived and “normal” expectations go. Thus, for ME, a 22LR IS my focus across the board….hopefully you men/husbands/leaders (and those of us trying to keep up) realize your efforts are best focussed on whatever the most doable option is in any situation. Prepping, like life, is not a perfect thing….making the best outcome within the given parameters is the goal, not adhering to a preconceived idea….thankful my DH recognizes this 🙂

      absolutely.. 100% agree. Not being 20ish now for a while every few years my capability seems to diminish in some respect… sight, hearing, knees ..
      I do what I can to compensate, and try not to kid myself or accept ;less than I can ACTUALLY do, then that’s as good as it gets.
      Good comment… thanks for the reminder

    Heck, I’ve thought about getting a couple of the Rock island armory 38spl revolvers as ‘disposable’ handguns.
