I've recently given some thought as to what pistol/rifle combination I would actually carry if I physically had to leave my homestead.
I have a number of different calibers and weight vs carry capacity is a concern.
I know someone may have at some point asked the same question.
But if you could carry only one caliber what would that be?
My thoughts are .22lr or 9mm.
It's pretty easy to carry 500 rounds of .22 that would not be a huge weight add to a backpack but at at the same time the 9mm has more power.
So simply by bullet weight 500 rounds of 36 Grain about 3 pounds
Or 144 126 grain rounds (same weight) which simply does not seem to be enough for an emergency.
Thoughts?
