Hi guys. I am trying to optimize the firearms I have into a relatively small handful and I would like to hear your thoughts. The philosophy behind my firearms is that I want to have the essentials to cover the widest range of practical situations, as well as provide practical enjoyment in common / NATO calibers.
I have:
-16" AR15 with a 1-6 LPVO
-Ruger 10/22 in a folding stock with a red dot
-Polymer 80 G17 with Streamlight
-Walther P22
Here's my issue. I like my P80, it's a great shooter but I would like to get a CCW but from what I understand CCing a "ghost gun" is asking to hang yourself in a court room if you ever had to use it in self defense, and I don't think you can even list it on a CCW permit. The Walther is small enough to CC but in my mind probably not powerful enough to significantly stop armed threats. One benefit of the P22 is it's a good survival / kit / small game hunter, but I don't know if I can rationally justify keeping it when the 10/22 does all that far better albeit in a larger and heavier package.
I live in the city. I am not really a fan of shotguns. I'm looking to optimize my current firearms and eventually add a 5th to my collection, probably either a .308 Bergara B14 HMR or a battle rifle.
Should I sell the Walther and pick up a G26 or G19 for magazine parity with my P80? Keep the current pistol setup, or something else entirely?
