So wheres my .45? Sitting in an oversized ammo can. Why? Well, glad you asked….

All the guns I own that are ‘dedicated’ TEOTWAWKI guns are packaged in air-tight, water-tight oversize ammo cans. In addition to the gun itself, the ammo can also contains literally every support item needed to go with the gun. What I mean is, if you had to leave your abode in a hurry and grabbed your .45 and a couple mags on the way out the door what would you do for cleaning gear? Holsters? Ammo? etc, etc…..

My .45 sits in a pistol rug(with dessicant) in a tall .50 can. Included in the can is :
.45 ACP ammo
Cleaning kit
Bore-Snake
Squib rod
Spare parts (triggers, assorted springs, extractors, firing pins, bushings, grip screws, etc, etc)
Mag pouches
Holster
Belt
Cleaning rag
Lubricant
Extra recoil springs
Exploded diagrams
Pistol lanyard
About 25 spare magazines
Dental picks & toothpicks
Screwdrivers
Brass hammer
Extra grips
And a few other things that escape me at the moment. Its a snug fit, but it all fits in the ammo can.

The nice thing is, I can grab that ammo can and have everything I need for that particular pistol. I’ve similar setups for my revolvers and my P35.

All of my AR support stuff fits in a 40mm can (except the rifle itself, of course).

One week until the Assault Weapons Ban expiration. Will it stay? Will it go?
Im going to be talking to one of the local gun store people tomorrow to talk about pre-ordering magazines and seeing if he’s been approached by any distributors yet. If the prices are right, I’ll take 20 Glock mags, 20 10/22 mags, another dozen P35 mags, another 30 AR mags and two dozen AK mags.
