The panics are why I still keep a .40 around.
Your right .270 is actually a common cartridge. It just I always see it on the shelves unlike 5.56, 308, 7x62.39Again, I don't see how the .270 could be considered "uncommon," much less anything other than "mainstream."
"Uncommon" for what? Punching holes in paper targets at a pay-to-shoot range? Or maybe for self/home defense rifles? I'd bet .270s are as "common" and "mainstream" as any big game rifles around here - even though I don't personally have one right now.
Yep. I agree with that.The panics are why I still keep a .40 around.
I recently bought a used G35 used for a little under $600. It came with the OEM 40 cal barrel and a LWD 9mm converion barrel and 2 mags. I bought mainly because I wanted something else in .40 and having it convert easily to 9mm was a great bonus. A little research has also found I can get a .357sig conversion barrel and usually nothing else needed and I can shoot .357sig. Barrel when I Googled was about $120.To the OP, 40S&W. Two days ago I found a used Glock 22 online for aprox $500. High priced but available. SGammo has plenty of 40 fmj and also very inexpensive premium defense ammo. Grip size is the same as 9mm, same holsters, holds 16 vs 18 rounds and has similar ballistic effectiveness.
I researched and passed on the 45GAP because it has a similar grip size as the G22 but only holds 10 rounds. And I would bet money the 40cal is equally as effective.
Again, I don't see how the .270 could be considered "uncommon," much less anything other than "mainstream."

The lesson to be learned is to maintain a stock of ammunition for what you have to sustain you until the panic subsides. The only "off" calibers I have are 40 S&W and 38 Sp/357, which were among the last to go for pistols. I have several "traditional" hunting rifles in "traditional" calibers, all of which are available in our local sporting goods stores. My main go-to as of late for range use is 22 LR. It is still easy to find at "normal" prices.
I am not working much now due to current events....
