I thought of the handgun as a given so to define it, make it a G17 with 4 magazines. As for a hunting weapon, you can't hunt game with an AR?  I handload 65gr Sierra Gameking which will work well for game and 2 legged varmint. And .223/5.56 can be replenished easily if necessary.
Because that thread exists, I did not rehash bag contents. |
Yes you can hunt with an AR, but I would not want to have to rely on it to stop a deer (or a bear, for that matter). It is an excellent anti-personnel weapon, is reasonably reliable, compact, accurate, relatively lightweight, and spare parts/mags/ammo are common.
To my logic, the primary purpose of the handgun would be to provide a back-up to the primary weapon in the event of a stoppage. Secondarily would be to harvest small game or dispatch small targets more quietly than the rifle.
Hey, just my perspective, anyone with a better one, I would like to hear it. Share the best practices and examine some alternative thinking. Rational dissenting opinions are welcome.
