It’s good in the brush. I’d say it’s still the main hunting rifle in the Midwest.

That's the problem .
.30-30 is still moderately popular for hunting . The trickle of restarted production isn't enough to keep up with the demand from the one box every other hunting season hunters .
They're constantly looking for it , and they fly off the shelves at $40 / per .

Just to be clear, I intended no insult. I thought you were saying that particular handgun was real as opposed to say a Llama which I would never call a real 1911.Once for each barrel
How would you hold something like that to shoot it?

Probably in yer hand.
I recently decided to pick up a new CCW. I decided on the S&W 9mm, sub compact with the ported barrel and red dot. Something nice from the custom shop. When it arrive I found the trigger would bottom out on the overtravel stup and not fire.
The store sent it back to Smith and Wesson and I was notified that the
pistol was now ready for pickup. Again the pistols trigger was faulty, what the hell? The pistol was sent back again. The store owner stated that he had contacted S&W and found that the problem was a spring in the trigger assembly that was incorrectly installed. The Rep stated that they were having this same problem on other customer’s pistols.
How does a performance center pistol ever leave the factory like this. Doesn’t the company proof fire the pistol prior to shipping, or at least dry fire the pistol to make sure everything is ok. This pistol comes with the Crimson red dot and is ported, not a cheap pistol.
Well, Mandy the third time is the charm. But, owning a lot of S&W revolvers and semi’s over the years, this is the first time I have had a problem with their product. It certainally does not instill confidence in the gun.

I can’t speak much of S&W customer support, some years back I bought a 629 with 6”barrel, the barrel was canted to the right, sent it back under warranty, got it back and now the barrel was canted to the left, went back again, 6 weeks later I received it and barrel was finally centered. Was fed up and sold it! But for a performance center gun not to be right is asinine.
If things were truly bad, you’re going to be stuck with what you have on hand. That stuff about ammo “lingering on the shelves” is true during ammo shortages. If things are really bad however there’s not going to be stores open weeks (or maybe months) later
. Whatever you think you’ll need, have ammo available NOW. You don’t need an arsenal but a brick of 22’s and a few hundred rounds of your preferred center fire is a pretty good investment.

Even a functioning .22 pistol. Some suggest a .22Magnum, but at the cost of the rifle and ammo you would be close to what a 5.56 AR would cost... Anyway even a .22LR could make all the difference.

I would have my AR 7 and my 1911 which I have in my pack with some rations next to the door for a grab and go.

First, let’s discuss the criteria. Your gun(s) must be chambered for common cartridges; that is, ammunition should be as universally available as humanly possible.gunsmagazine.com
Good article on which gun you want on you if a disaster happens me I would definitely want my Springfield mil spec

I'm going to stick with my SHTF package. My Canik SFT Pro in 9mm with as many 20rd mags and spare 9mm ammo as I can carry. (Most law enforcement and military, not to mention general population carry 9mm, so it should be plentiful wherever I go) and my 16" Ar15 with as many 556 rounds I can carry with it.
