I'm still researching my first handgun purhcase, and have decided upon the 9mm. I have made this decision based on a number of points, including cost and availability, lower recoil than larger rounds, blah blah blah, but I've also recently been think about the advantages of 9mm in a SHTF or TEOTWAWKI scenario (hey, it's kinda fun to think about in a strange way, and I figure I might as well be thorough...), particularly the large ammounts of 9mm that could be procured in such a situation.
So, enter the Glock kB thread... Let's say that a situation comes up in which you must scrounge for ammo. You can't go to the store anymore an pick up your special brand, so you need a pistol that will function with anything that you find. (You've run out of your stockpile, this is BIG! )
What 9mm pistol would you choose if you had to have something that would eat ANYTHING? The Glock thread got me thinking because you may be faced with having to shoot some poorer qualtity ammo or lead stuff that not all guns will like very much.
Would you Glock folks still pick a Glock 9mm in a situation such as this?
I'm not insinuating that a Glock couldn't hack it, I'm asking. Is there any such gun that can really fill this role? It's been said sooo many times when folks ask about the "most reliable auto": any quality handgun from a quality company should be reliable with quality ammo...but what if you take the quality ammo out of the equation?
