I've planned this for some time; to cache a gun and ammo in an undisclosed place for SHTF situations. Today I decided the safe needed cleaned up so I did a little tidying
For Emergency use only 
After ONLY 9 months I seem to be running out of space! What's a guy to do?

It's a fair start. I'd round out the SHTF kit with some spare parts, some ammo for the caliber conversion, a holster, spare mag carrier, and a cleaning kit.
I keep stuff in my safe besides guns too. A little organization and seperate storage for some of that ammo will help you out a lot. |

why the F**k do you have a 9mm barrel with a G23, with 500 rounds of .40 ammo? Why bother putting a conversion barrel in with the "emergency" (  ) gun if there isn't the same ammo in the friggin box with it?My guess is that 9mm is more common worldwide than .40S&W. The .40 S&W barrel is already in the gun so it can readily take the ammo in the box. Now if a SHTF scenario took place in which enemy personnel was using 9mm, after running out of .40S&W you could steal 9mm from the enemy and be good to go. |

If you have to resort to defending yourself with a pistol, you wont need 500 rounds of ammo nor a conversion barrel. You'll be dead long before that point. Speaking of brains....... |

Disagree, a quality handgun will always be a positive in a SHTF situation. Ammo may be used for barter, practice, hunting, etc. When it comes to weapons, I dont think anyone ever wished they had less ammo, unless they were humping it

Sure its a p[ositive. My point is if your primary self defense weapon is a pistol you've already lost. |

if it's for emergency use only why didn't you vac pack the mags LOADED!!!! that and you need to unfuck your safe....it's making my eyes hurt just looking at it Or why did you vacuum pack something that you need quickly. Seriously. There's nothing like "Oh shit, I need my gun" and then realizing that you don't have a knife or a way to open up your brilliant vacuum sealed gun or empty mags that you then need to load. You need to read more here and post less. |

What's a guy to do? http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww228/walt_l/Pa240002.jpg Guys enhance your calm. Read his post carefully. Just because it is not your idea or safe take a chill pill. 1. cache something somewhere 2. he was cleaning up the safe 3. Extra ammo and conversion barrel always better to have then not have 4. Lots of ammo in his safe means lots of shooting (some people own guns, others shoot them, more ammo to actually use your guns wins out in my book every time) 5. Post pics of your organized, labeled, ammo forts if you have it so together (only 1 person did this, the rest just had a hissyfit). Just my $.02 |

What kind of unicorn flying fantasy does a guy have to have to think hes going to E&E armed patrols and looters to make his way to his cache of arms so to defend himself...... Look, its fun to fantasize. Shit I do it too. But I dont keep a spare towel in the bathroom on the off chance a super model is going to walk in and want to shower with me, and I dont bury guns out in the boonies in the event that I find myself stripped of everything I own and on the run. At that point I'll want a spare change of clothes and a quarter to call my cousin more then a pistol. I mean shit, at LEAST bury cheap Mosin or something. Much preferable to have a rifle over a pistol. |
