In a survival situation I don’t think that any caliber comes close to the versatility of a .22LR. In the movie, it looks like the pistol being fired is a .38 special. I just weighed a 158g .38 special on my triple-beam scale and it weighed 15.3 grams. For the same weight, you can carry 5 CCI .22LR HP 36g. cartridges.
No matter where you go.....There you are.

I do believe a surpressed pistol and rifle in .22lr would be one of the best SHTF rifles--especially in something that is compact.

I really enjoyed it, mostly because it was realistic. I even bought it on Blu Ray <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I need to search feedback on these pistols (based on atchkinson design)...but they look like fun since they take the 26-rd mags <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Put a little 4moa red dot on it and go to town! Hell, even scope it would be fun for hunting squirrels (not sure of accuracy though). http://www.keltecweapons.com/our-guns/pistols/plr-22/

Ish, I know they use the Blackdog magazines which are plentiful. What would be really nice is to SBR it, have a stock for more applicable reasons, and suppressed. Then to top it off have a good pistol that accepts the same suppressor.

I think my next purchase is to get another Ruger 22/45 and drop a Tac-Sol upper on it for the ultimate lightweight pistol. I've got my eye on the new RP model, so I can throw some Busse grips on it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Book of Eli and Mad Max films kind of romanticize "end of the world" scenarios, The Road does not. Truly depressing movie. Even when there is potential for a couple feel good moments they are not because the whole situation is insane. and don't get me started on Charlize Theron <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
