Thanks for looking and offering some help! I have long been an advocate of everyone owning a shotgun, a handgun, a .22 rifle, and a long range rifle just to cover all basics of firearm ownership and use. I am not a doomsday prepper, but I would like to build up a small stash of reliable self defense ammo and firearms to have on hand for [insert end of world / zombiepocalypse / ancient civilization prediction / economic collapse / here].
However action pistol competition has pulled me away from that mindset and diverted my funds from self/home defense to the sport side of things. I need to get back to basics and begin working on my home/self defense firearms again. I know that prices are crazy for everything right now, but I believe that these will self correct soon and deals are still be had if you look in the right places.
I live in the suburbs of a large city, very safe neighborhood, though we live in a condo/townhouse with neighbors sharing walls. I currently have a compact daily carry pistol in 9mm, competition race pistol in 40sw, .22 semi-auto pistol, old pump action .270 rifle and .410 shotgun.
I am thinking of picking up a 12gauge pump, 9mm camp carbine, 9mm "combat pistol", and a .22 rifle.
Is this the right direction to move? And what would you prioritize based on where we live and what we own already?
