    Ohhh one of those malfunctions.

    Well that at least that Scavenger 6 thing looks like a good backup to my sniper rifle. In fact, with such a high degree of ballistic interoperability, it looks poised to supersede all existing precision small arms platforms.

    One thing that's never addressed with these multi-caliber guns for "SHTF" is you'd have to rezero every time you change calibers. I guess you better hope you "scavenge" enough rounds to do that.

    BTW - I love threads like this of what you would take if you had only one ABCD whatever.

    As far as the handgun to battle TEOTWAWKI, no doubt in my mind it would be a Glock in 9mm (17, 19, or 34 for me). Of course I get to have a rifle and other guns too right? lol

    G19. If you are shooting it a lot, you'll either be (1) Dead or (2) have other weapons to scavenge.

    I know this was discussed earlier in the thread but I'll bring it up again...

    The thought of wanting a G19, or any 9mm for that matter, for an apocalyptic event is completely backassward thinking. If you want proof, think back to after Sandy Hook & think about what was first to be missing off the shelves. Now times that by whatever...

    The last calibers I'd ever want in those situations would be a 9mm or 22LR.
