The author has some practical advice for preppers when it comes to firearms, derived from lessons learned over many years.
Other than his recommendation that the pistol you pick be 9mm, small, and fun for you to shoot, he doesn't provide any specific recommendations. He discusses having a rifle (he obviously has in mind an AR style rifle, but he does not specifically recommend them over other modern sporting rifles). Nor does he make any caliber recommendations other than 9mm for the handgun, but this is more of a recognition of the economics and logistics rather than a statement as to the efficacy of the 9mm over the .40 S&W or .45 ACP. But he doesn't give a list of firearms you might need such as a handgun, "light" defensive rifle, a battle rifle, shotgun, precision rifle, etc., that is so common in the prepping world.
Rather, a lot of his discussion is about standardizing within your family and, if you have one, survival group so there is a common caliber, magazines and other parts. His emphasis is instead thinking in terms of commonality of platforms and getting the most value from what you have. Needless to say, he is not recommending a battery of many different weapons and calibers and that you would be better off spending money you might have used for additional weapons to buy extra ammunition and do more training and practice.
