Now see I’m trying to limit caliber a rather then increase them
This guy totally lost me when he claims to have seen 22LR at Wal-Mart.
Years go there was a book by Mel Tappan on SURVIVAL GUNS which gave a good reason for owning certain guns. The book dealt with rifles and handguns available in the 1970s from some of the best gun writers at the time.
Later other gun magazines had their writers make up their own lists which may be outdated today.
Skeeter Skelton said if he could own Only ONE handgun it would be a S&W M-19 .357 Mag with a 5 inch barrel.
Bill Jordan also preferred the .357 Mag.
Elmer Keith preferred the .44 Mag and .45 Long Colt.
Jeff Cooper, the .45ACP.
Today’s choice would be more of a 9mm size and various rifles.
Several gun magazines were in favor of double duty rifles and handguns firing the same ammo such as the .44 Mag or .357 Mag rifle-handgun combo.
Today’s choice would be different from 1975 as some rifles and handguns are no longer in “style” or are no longer made, being surpassed by better rifles.
I’m still looking for a Phased Plasma Rifle in a 40 watt range.
22 long rifle, 9 millimeter, 30-30,5.56,7.62x39,12 gauge.
It’s pretty easy to store nice amount of these calibers and you’re fairly well covered for the various uses of a firearm with these. For the shotgun 00 buckshot, number 4 buckshot some basic bird shot and some slugs.
