Molon Labe.......finally!!!

I actually mentioned something about this in the Survival Carbine AR platform discussion thats also going on. I own both .45 and 9mm. I have carried both on and off duty. First Handguns do knock stuff down. If you doubt this volunteer to take a 9mm round and see how you feel after. When I reach for my pistol in the U.S.A. its a para ordnance P 14-45. It has a two round extension so with one in the pipe I have 17 rds of .45 before Im going for that next mag. Here in Durka durka-stan Its a 9mm. However as I stated in the AR forum if its the end of it all survival situation you better have a 9mm on hand and with you. The reason that 9mm rounds are so hard to come by at times is because its one of the most popular rounds in the world. People buy that stuff up like crazy. So it will be easier to come by in the long run. Having high capacity is always a plus in any caliber. Its not always about hitting a target. Sometimes its about shooting so you can move or your partner can move. If you dont have the extra rounds to do this.....you could be stuck in place, they could be moving on you, or others could be coming! I guess it goes back to how deep you will look into the SHTF . Then when you are all the way there and dont think it could possibly get any worse. Then log onto sites like this one and there is always good people such as yourselves that can put it into another perspective for you. "Fight the good Fight"

Outlander777 Makes a good case for the .308 round. In what he says for that round I would have to agree. However for the TEOTWAWKI once you run out of all of those rounds be it 5.56 or .308 it comes to what you will be able to lets say acquire. I promise you acquiring 5.56 will be easier than finding .308 Just as 9mm will be easier than .45 rounds. In both of these cases .308 does more damage than 5.56. .45 does more than 9mm. However, I would rather have a mag of 20- 5.56 and a mag of 5- 9mm rounds that I was able to find, than say an empty weapon. As for the AR platforms ive been carrying one 23 years and I carried one today, on the job, in hostile territory. Who knows how many rounds ive put down range in my life. I can only remember having a serious problem back in the 80s with the old M16 A1 and thats after some serious abuse to the weapon. Yeah things fail sometimes but for the most part you take care of your girl...she'll take care of you.
