>>13907870Any jam in a handgun that's doesn't have a serious malfunction shouldn't take more than a few seconds to clear a jam. The having a long gun is more for greater long-range accuracy for hunting, can attach optics (also slightly less loud, slightly better bullet velocity and better handling if there was some sort of shoot out).
Another variation some survivalists say works for bug out is a revolver as a sidearm and one of those red dead redemption lever-action rifles that take the same calibre.
