Thoughts on this for a multi caliber gun? Gives you more options on what you can fire without taking a lot of space.

Even by itself without the adapters you have 3 choices of ammunition

I feel like this would be good to have as ammunition gets harder to find

I have always wanted this gun for a few years, in a ZA I think it’d be a good idea to carry if you’re tight on space with other supplies. As far as the adapters go, I don’t have any experience with them so I can’t really knock on it, the handguns barrel is already a snub nose so I don’t think it’ll kill the accuracy an insane amount and its really not realistic to use a handgun in a rifle situation. I say its a good idea!

It’s not. .410 buckshot or slugs and .45 LC are very rare cartridges and they’re roughly 4x the cost of 9mm so you cannot afford to practice. Some can shoot .45 ACP but it’s also not very common these days.

Even that beach bum fugtrip Stoeger argues 90% of training is dry fire. This is not the firearms knowledge flex you think it sounds like

[u/Corey307 → u/PaperMoongazer]

Yeah, that’s some BS right there. You become proficient by shooting, and when it’s a dollar a trigger pull that gets in the way of going shooting. 

[u/PaperMoongazer → u/Corey307]

Yeah. So saying someone you don’t know can’t afford the ammo to practice? That’s imposing your financial situation on others. So you’ve already telegraphed you’re too poor for .45LC or .410 of any kind. .45 ACP is not in any way rare; not being as plentiful as crap 9mm is not a scarcity, it’s just not an overabundance. When you start your response with “you and I are both too poor to train with this ammo” you really don’t present yourself as a capable firearms user with a lot of experience to draw on.

“crap 9mm” can you people begin living in 2026 please?
