Or that's what this guy recommends instead of AR-15.

There are two applications.

1 feeds you much more efficiently
1 protects you much more efficiently

The other thing to consider is how easily you will find ammo when you can't go to the store and buy some.

So.

AR-15 for prolonged periods.

.357 is not the most common ammo neither is .38. It will do a lot of things really good but not great.

I want the most common ammo that’s always available and that if I need to I can pick up brass and load. 9mm and .223.

.308 is right behind those in availability and ability to find brass.

ETA: Just listened to all of it. He’s saying if you only have one gun.

Well, I will always have multiple guns and I stand by my statement.

Ruger 10/22

This. No one wants a .22LR to the chest. Then to eat, Rabbits, squirrels, even a deer. Shot placement and you are fine in a survival sitch. Plus you can lug 1000 rounds easily. Trying hauling 1000 5.56 around. Or 9mm.

The most common ammunition types out there are:

12 Gauge
.22 LR
9 mm &
.223/5.56mm

I'd start there.

Hoping to see a package from someone with an SBR and handgun in 9 with both taking same magazine.

Yeah, I've done a bunch of searches. No perfect(for me) solution yet.

These ammo scenarios are stupid. If you have enough for your rifle then it doesn't matter what caliber you prefer. If you access more ammo of another caliber, chances are you plugged a guy with a rifle that shoots that particular ammo.

I’ve been looking hard at the 357 levers. Don’t know why but the carbines especially. I have the others covered.
If shtf I’d be grabbing the AR and shotguns first.

Suppressed Remington Nylon 66 & 300blk AR would be my (owned) draft picks

Probability of surviving multiple extended gun fights seems low, regardless, so having 5k rds of ammo or whatever is likely a moot point tbh

Having the most people with the most guns wins. Read stories about surviving in Yugoslavia back in the 90’s during the civil war. There were several men in Sarajevo that were known gun and ammo horders. Nice war broke out bands of the thief’s went to their homes liked them and took all their shite. The people that survived had 20 people living in a house each taking security shifts during the day.

The siege of Sarajevo is a good watch

Frontline

PSA sells an AR lower ( and complete guns) that take Glock mags. Then buy an upper in whatever length fits your needs.
