This seems to be a topic of much debate just about everywhere I read and these are my personal opinions. Ideally everyone should have at least 1 hand gun and 1 rifle. I'm partial to my 1911, I don't think there is a more reliable handgun and you can't beat the stopping power of a .45 ACP. That being said it does have it's drawbacks. It only holds 7 rounds and it's loud. Loud is definitely not a good thing. In a zombie filled world I can't stress the importance if a quiet kill. For that reason I would invest in a .22. Sure it might sound ill-equipped but I assure you, a .22 has enough velocity to penetrate a human skull at reasonable distances. Just about any firearm chambered in a .22 can be purchased at a reasonably cheap price and ammo is plenty abundant and cheap as well. Since you can get a rifle and a handgun both chambered in .22 you wouldn't have to worry about carrying different types of ammo and one person can carry plenty of them. Another added benefit of a .22 rifle is that most barrels are naturally silenced. I guess when it comes down to the wire you should probably use whatever you have handy. The chart below shows a few cities and kind of attraction gun fire would have on the population.
