The M1Carbine would be my easy first choice, it I could only have one firearm. Light weight, reliable, and always gets some range time every time out, because its fun to shoot. My eyes and the Inland are the same age, but with practice, and fine tuning handloads, the group averages keep coming down. But any ammo would do if needed. No, it's not the truck gun on the farm, or the night stand gun. We have a reasonable assortment of a little of everything. But if the day ever comes...when it really matters...the M1 Carbine will get the first call. Gotta get one of those Blackhawks though, to go along with it.
