Munchkin Wrnagler came up with an interesting idea so let's try it here:
Your task is to find a sidearm/long gun combo. Assume that money is no object, and that anything goes, even NFA stuff. Interpret “long gun” as liberally as you would like: carbine, rifle, submachine gun, whatever, as long as it’s fired from the shoulder.
Your only restrictions: the combo must use interchangeable ammunition, and it must be commercially available ammo. The same load needs to work for both weapons without malfunctioning or blowing up the gun when used in one instead of the other.
Your combo should be chosen with an eye on flexibility. Ideally, you’ll want to be able to drop two- and four-legged vermin, so it will have to do for self-defense and hunting of small- to medium-sized game up to 150 yards or so.
Name the gun combo, and the caliber. Ready? Go! |

|
.223 ; Kel tec PLR-16 handgun, and a SIG-556 rifle | by veran | 2009-10-26 11:36:25 |
|
Calling a plr-16 a "pistol" (to me at least) | by Classic_Jon | 2009-10-26 11:48:41 |
|
The same could be said about | by veran | 2009-10-26 12:29:31 |
|
I see your point but, a 454, 500 etc | by Classic_Jon | 2009-10-26 12:55:47 |
|
Me, I'd go for it. | by veran | 2009-10-26 13:07:26 |
|
yep, more than likely a small hole in and out | by Classic_Jon | 2009-10-26 13:25:10 |
|
They are available with a soft point. (n/t) | by veran | 2009-10-26 13:48:37 |
|
Nosler partition. | by veran | 2009-10-26 13:51:54 |
|
If you want to use it, go ahead, I will | by Classic_Jon | 2009-10-26 13:58:02 |
|
That's what the SIG 556 is for. | by veran | 2009-10-26 14:36:28 |

|
then I would have one to cover the other | by Classic_Jon | 2009-10-26 15:13:59 |
|
Two guns, one caliber. | by veran | 2009-10-26 15:18:49 |
|
My choice (which I already own): | by carthax | 2009-10-26 11:59:39 |
|
What recoil? | by DesertRat66 | 2009-10-26 13:11:49 |
|
It's got more recoil than my Springfield 03 30-06. | by carthax | 2009-10-26 13:52:55 |
|
Well recoil is a subjective thing | by DesertRat66 | 2009-10-26 14:24:14 |
|
My 03 has more of a "push." It's firm, though. (n/t) | by carthax | 2009-10-26 15:35:13 |
|
.45-70 | by SnArL | 2009-10-26 12:04:03 |
