Do You Consider An M-1 Carbine Adequate For HD
This isn't a "Should I buy an M-1 thread" I've already decided I'm going to, I'm just wondering if I should use it for HD. By HD I don't necessarily mean chasing a BG out of my house at oh dark thirty, I'm thinking more alone the lines of SHTF. I'm hopping that the AO reproductions will create more demand for the cartridge although I've never had a problem finding it. On to the question , I know the M-1 carbine served in 3 major U.S. conflicts and I think the Israelis used it in a war or two as well. But it was never used as a stand alone piece (that I'm aware of) I.E. as far as I know there wasn't ever a unit outfitted exclusive W/ M-1 carbines as an MBR.
So if you had to defend your home against crazed hordes of zombie soccer moms W/ an M-1 would you feel adequetly armed?
