    Default The Great Caliber Swap

    With restriction to 10 shot magazines almost a certainty, will anyone switch from 9mm to .40 or .45 due to reduced number of rounds.

    I am not talking about a 10 to 7 swap as would be expected in the 1911. I am talking 10/9mm for 10/.40 or.45.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    I may rethink my "comfortable amount of ammo" for my lever-guns.
    Instead of "plenty", I may up my thinking to "plenty X 2".

    My philosophy has generally been "a rifle kills anything just as dead as a pistol does", but in all seriousness, I'll probably just buy pistols in all three, once I have the money (I only own long-guns currently)

    I think that a weapon that can use multiple calibers, such as a Glock with a conversion barrel, is desirable because of potential shortages of one caliber while another is readily available. A magazine limit simply requires more magazines.

    No swaping here, have 45's, an old Colt 380 fm my Grandfather with plenty of mags for the 1911, along with quite a lot of ammo. Fm another thread here at last inventory several years ago I had some where around 285 lbs of lead ingots with a lot of other componets. At my age everything I have won't do me much good as I can't move that fast anymore, it will all go to my son and SIL's.

    Every time an older person dies, its like burning a full set of encyclopedias that will never be published again. So, if you ever want to learn more of anything, just find a old tradesman and hang out with him and then when he passes on, not the full set will burn, you'll have parts of it to pass on to others.
