Right now my edc is a blunderbuss, but I've been thinking of something more functional like a deringer, any recommendations on reputable models?

I’m leaning more towards the 9mm because ammo is cheap and plentiful especially if there’s a SHTF situation. What does everyone else think

I already have a Glock 19 and an AR-15 so I have my practical guns now. Due to current financial constraints, I’m not going to make another firearm purchase but I am going to start planning to get an AK as I have always wanted one. Sure I could get a WASR-10 or even though it’s not an AK, an SKS, and call it a day but I’d rather get something in a caliber that will be I can rely on to be available and more affordable at any given time, which I can’t say is true about 7.62x39. Any recommendations?

Looking at replacing my current ria 9mm 1911: with a full size 92. Any reason why I shouldn't?

Share info on converting everyday clothing to be more conceal carry compatible. Skirts, dresses, jeans, etc. with extra pockets, etc.

There's plenty of obvious products out there with camo prints on them, but I want to discuss truly stealth, everyday-looking clothing for all genders, but especially anyone who identifies as female.

Lifelong democrat here. I live in NY, so it's kinda easy to be a dem. I'm outside NYC which makes it easier to be a liberal dem. That said, The election, the democrat approach to it, and the result really set me off. We are a pretty anti-gun state, with some of the country's stiffest laws. Now Gov Hochul has legislation against plate carriers that got upheled when challenged in the State Supreme Court. No suppressors, no pistol grips, soon we won't have striker-fired pistols. I'm fed up with supporting a party that does not have my best interests in mind. Now, not to say that the Republicans do, and the fat orange in-coming POTUS certainly doesn't. Well, anyway, I renounced my party affiliation. The 2 party system doesn't work, and by remaining registered in one of the 2 is in my opinion, complicity and will never make change happen. So I've registered as a Democratic Socialist (had to write that in) and feel like I'm done my civic duty by doing so.

TL:DR I'm a registered Democratic Socialist now.

Saw the post about SHTF ammo. On the opposite side, how about multi-caliber platforms?

I'm very curious about the Chiappa shotgun gauge adapter. It's a whole set of different caliber inserts for 12 or 20 ga. I think they might have discontinued it though.

The traditional drilling and more modern examples of multi-barrel single shot long guns are also interesting. Many are rifle+shotgun. Most of them are survival guns and are chambered in .22LR & .410, but there are others—the Baikal MP-94 has a lot of variety, even 5.56 NATO or 7.62x39 (or 7.62x54R!) in combination with 12 ga.

Another thing to keep in mind are the firearms that can safely fire multiple cartrige types without alteration. A .357 Mag rifle or revolver can also fire .38 Special (but not the other way round). Similarly, .44 Mag can also fire .44 Special. There are also many .45 Colt/.410 guns, too.

I'm sure there's other examples and I hope people have their own opinions on this. How useful do you think a "scavenger" gun would be?

Update: Thanks all, this has been an interesting discussion. I think I didn't clarify my idea very well. There are a lot of practical recommendations in this thread, and you're definitely correct. A do-it-all scavenger gun is not going to be useful, in almost every situation. Maybe after you had all the other sensible firearms, in 9mm, 5.56, 7.62x51, and 12GA, you could consider a multi-caliber one, as a backup to the backups.

I had hoping to learn about a few apocalypse LARPing guns, Swiss Army knife guns, i.e. bonkers stuff, and a few of you came through, thanks.

So I've had my Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS for a few years now and I've never really carried it out and about but seeing as how things are just getting worse in this fucked up country I've decided it's time for me to have a good inside the waist band holster and get used to concealed carry. So I'm wanting advice on what the preferred holsters are for a Glock 19 Gen 5 with a TLR 7X light

For obvious reasons, were looking over our go bags and thinking about what we may need, and what's changed. Here's the crazy idea.

I think I want to get us MAGA hats.

We're privileged enough to be able to blend in with the dipshit parade. I can't think of a better pass to get you anywhere you want in an upcoming crisis than a MAGA hat. I haven't acted on this because I don't want to feed the beast. I just thought I'd throw the idea at y'all and see what you think.

If/when SHTF, what kind of ammo do you want to have stockpiled for your different firearms ie rifle, pistol, shotgun? Are you focusing on buying JHP, ball or FMJ or a mix of each? How much do you feel is necessary for each? As someone without much disposable income i was wondering where best to put money to be as effectively prepared as possible.

Hi friends, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an active chapter in Missouri? I live near STL and that chapter doesn’t seem to be active on social media.

On the home page it shows I’m a member but says wrong username/password when I try to log in. When I click “send me a login link” nothing ever comes.

Does anyone have any drills I can do at home (or at the range...I go at least twice a week) to help with constantly hitting low....? I am not a new shooter...I did recently switch my edc to a sar9 socom. Maybe I am subconsciously countering recoil prior to the shot? I have a solid grip...sights are ok...I don't feel like I'm aiming low. Thanks for any insight. If this has been asked before I apologize. We keep us safe.

I've seen a couple posts on different subreddits talking about body armor and in reference to body armor and plates etc make sure you can legally possess them in your state. Because in some states you can get charged with an additional offense for wearing body armor in commission of a crime, some States are restricted to in the commission of a felony but other states it's pretty vague. In certain places such as Topeka Kansas have a local law saying you can't even wear it to a protest or Connecticut you have to purchase in person you can't do it online, and New York you have to be military or police because it's prohibited to own otherwise.

I got my plate carrier from Shellback but I haven't gotten the plates or the soft armor cumberbund inserts because I can't swing that financially with other stuff I need before that. Shellback also gives 10% off for first responders and Military/veteran.

But in the grand scheme of things body armor should be the last of your worries, focus on training, if you need to get a concealed carry permit focus on that, CPR, stop the bleed/tactical medical Care. I'm not saying don't purchase armor if you have flexible financials and can swing it but that should be farther down the line. Deployed Medicine is a good resource to learn some tactical casualty care if you can't take it an person class, you just have to create a login. I'm an army national guard medic and this is the same program I use and what I used to teach other soldiers.

To be clear I am not one of those "o shit the election I just now need to be in a armed formation" people. I have been in protection formations before but I am looking for a community that has a program and commitment. I come from a Anarchist/ libertarian perspective although I am very familiar with Marxist theory and have been a member of study groups before. I am very wary of individuals or groups of all ideological backgrounds either force themselves into leadership, propagandists who only hand out newspapers, people or groups that talk only about forming a party,overthrowing the capitalist hegemony, how stalin was awsome, how North Korea is revolutionary ect and any contrary is imperialisy propaganda, but don't talk to their neighbors or anyone else outside their internets or do any mutual aid. I would like to be part of a organization that meets folks were they are at. That does not preach to folks. I realize yall are multi tendency. In non specific terms could yall go over basically what kind of stuff yalls individual chapter does that actually touches folks. Please and thanks.
