For true SHTF situation when you want...

30/30 Lever action
12 gauge pump
.357 Magnum revolver

For SHTF, the 30/30 and .357 limit your options of using your allies' or your enemies' ammunition.

For SHTF, you might want 9mm, 5.56, 7.62 x 39, or 7.62 x 51 instead of .357/.38 and 30/30.

Gotta agree with you on the 30-30 lever. If a semi is not available it is a really awesome gun.

My main reason for offering up my suggestions was not knowing the knowledge level/skill of the OP. Semi-auto firearms require a bit more care and feeding than lever/pump/revolvers to keep running smoothly, not to mention the immediate actions needed to clear jams/misfires/FTF. Otherwise, I don’t disagree with your advice.
