Talking durability and reliability here. This question is in some ways for a SHTF situation.
Which handgun(make and model) would you buy and expect to have no malfunctions with and little to no break in period along with a lasting durability?
Only caveat is it also needs to be accurate enough for people and small game out to 20 yards.
Perhaps I should split this up into two categories, revolver and semi-auto.
