My Revolver choice would be either the K or L frame Smith and Wesson in .357. The Rugers are damn good guns but it's easier to find quality leather, speedloaders and just about everything else for the S&W guns.

Auto loader: Something simple, reliable with not alot of gimmicks I'd go with the SIG 220 as well. There are others I like but this is a great all around combat handgun.

Shotgun: You just can't go wrong with a Remengotn 870. get whichever barrels you want and you can go up or down and use that for whatever you want.

Rifle: I think the CZ's are a very good value. I also like Weatherby's Vanguard series. these can be had in several popular calivbers for under $500.00 with a decent scope.

If you want an auto loading rifle. there are several AK's out there that are great fun and a great value as well. That's a good starting point for just about anybody in my opinion. I'd also agree with the .22lr rifle. you can't go wrong with one of those.
