Don't really understand the urban vs rural stuff... Do a lot of big game hunting in urban environments?

I think regardless of the firearm, .22 LR is one of the most versatile and necessary rounds made. It can take small game in ANY setting and if we, God forbid, end up with a situation where ammo would be one of the more barterable items, it would certainly be advantageous to have several thousand rounds of .22 LR in your pack. A .22 LR would be preferable to a quite a few other rounds due to ease of shooting, the amount of rounds you can carry without overburdening your pack, and plenty of people have been killed by .22 LR rounds. Think someone would keep trying to attack you if you shot him in the face 5 or 6 times with a .22 LR? I led off with "regardless of the firearm", and I probably should modify that. I think a 1911 in 45 ACP with a .22 LR conversion kit would be firearm for all situations, as an example. I'm sure other combinations would work well also.

For me:
-Glock 19: city, travel etc
-Glock 20: when Im running, fishing or boating out in the village
-Ruger Redhawk 2.75" hiking or hunting sidearm
-Ruger SBH 454 for primary hunting gun or backup when I bowhunt
-Ruger single 6 convertible 22lr for small game, hiking, hunting etc
I could probably ditch the g19 and use the g20 for that stuff if I really wanted to.

Ah the Estwing, I took my thumb nail off with a waffle headed framer once. 😡😰😁 Took the whole side of my left pointer finger off with a framing hammer decades ago... damn wrong-size TECO nails for the joist hangers... it's still numb. The worst part is the moment after you do it before the pain hits. Still have that hammer. It was new then, it's old now. Hey wait a minute...... Handguns are very much like hammers to me- IE, they are tools- and my simple battary is a concealed piece, for which I am currently exploring new options to replace the several Kahr's I've owned, a standard-frame Glock in .40, and a big 10mm Glock trail gun. Tools. Durable, a great value, and effective. Good tools. Not sexy. Rifles are sexy. Oops, wrong forum! 
The CENTER will hold.

If I had to pare it down to 3 (God forbid!) I would have to go with:
-S&W 12-2 for EDC
-Ruger Blackhawk .44spl for 4-legged critters
-Ruger MKII .22 for plinking and everything else
