You'll be carrying as little as possible, and what you carry has to work as is and to as much double/triple duty as possible. The Serbian lessons on this are relevant and stark.

For the SHTF piece, a modified cylinder GP100 .357 that will then take .357s, .38 Specials, .38 Colts, 9x23, 9x21, .38Super, and .380 is a much more realistic BUG.

But, please don't let reality get in the way of fantasy.


I very well realize that 22TCM and 10mm ammo are relatively scarce, even in the best of times. Which is exactly why I am thinking that having extra uppers or fitted barrels in 9mm, 22LR, 45 ACP would be important additions.

BACK on topic.... being something of a speed freak regarding guns and velocity, I am surprised that I have not yet owned a 38 Super. That will hopefully be rectified in the not too distant future.
