Handgun Choice in Power Outages

Was talking to a classmate/friend from high school & who also went into the AF as a cop but he did 4 and got out…We just connected on Facebook

He lives in Georgia & was a Sheriff deputy & then retired as a Federal Air Marshal….

His town in Georgia lost power for several days after the hurricane, no real damage other than trees down all over & trapped in his area

He has a backup generator that runs his freezers/fridge but not his electric stove & such, the generator is maxed out with his 2 chest freezers & such

They finally cut the way out & he was venturing forth with his wife, daughter & grand baby 

He was debating what handgun to carry & ended up with a old school Sig 229 in 357Sig in a concealed leather holster with 3 extra mags 

People were very polite and helpful, saw some shotguns, rifles and handguns openly carried 

We chatted about his choice of handgun & it was his favorite handgun as an Air Marshal & he was extremely accurate with it….and concealed cuz why advertise 

Got me thinking, what one handgun would I carry in that scenario & how

Really don’t know, more than likely a concealed G19 as it’s light & bombproof 

Thoughts???

Simple. Carry the one you're sure you can hit with under stress. Power or no power, same advice.

My gen 2 Glock 19 I bought 29 years ago and sits sits in a cubbyhole in my bed's headboard.

2 is one and 1 is none. If I was going into a area where a gunfight was a serious possibly and it had to be a handgun, it would be a double stack 10mm like my M&P, with a glock 19 on the offside, an maybe even a J frame in my pocket,

While I agree, I also disagree🤪🤪

My new bedroom gun (just went over 500rds + 50 carry ammo and I don’t have a holster yet…..it’s a fricking flat shooting lazer but as expensive as it was it had better be…..

Thing is as new as it is & being a 2011 with very tight tolerances, I would also expect it to have malfunctions if it’s exposed to crappy weather/mud 

Don’t know if I’d even want to abuse it 🤣🤣
