I love the idea of having a combo that shares ammo and mags—super practical for a survival setup! I’ve been working on something similar with my gear. I have a Ruger PC Carbine and a Ruger pistol that share the same mags, which has come in handy more than once. A while back, I was at HuskyArmory.com checking out some of their setups, and I saw a guy who had a Sub-2000 and Glock 17 combo—he swore by how easy it made things for him in the field. It’s definitely a great setup for versatility.
 
I feel the same way...sharing Mags is a huge plus - I have a .223 AR rifle and pistol. I also have a 350 Legend rifle and pistol, the Mags are specific for the 350 Legend but have two of each 5, 10, and 20 round capacity.
 
I have a pistol caliber carbine in .40 S&W (Beretta CX4) that shares the same mags as my Beretta 90-Two. Great HD combo with a 18.5" Mossburg 500 as backup.
 
I've been hooked on combo's since the 80's with my 22lr. Single six and Remington 572. They each accounted for hundreds of sage rats each year on the ranch. I now have several 22lr combo's, a few in 22 mag. (Also the 22mag/20 ga. Savage 24) revolvers in 38spl. and 357mag. along with a 357 maximum handi rifle that of course shoots all 3. Also 10" 357 max. scoped Contender. (Did have a 357 max. Ruger Blackhawk 35 years ago) Then the brush and timber hunting set-up that I use a lot here in the Oregon coast range, the 454 Cassul raging bull with the Puma 92 454 raging bull. (Of course they can both use 45 colt) I also sometimes pair the raging bull with scoped TC Encore 20" bbl. in 460 s&w. I have caliber adapters for both 308 and 30-06 (Savage 99f and Remington 760) when paired with my 32acp Beretta 82. Actually this afternoon I was fiddling with my H&R handi rifle survivor set-up with a 20" iron sighted 12 Guage barrel. With several caliber adapters available, I removed the 44 mag. stored in the stock, and put the 8" rifled .357 mag. adapter in the stock. My 686+ stainless 5" 7 shot revolver is my current general purpose trail gun. Rifle, handgun, and even shotgun combo's are great!
 
Make mine the John Wayne Assault Rifle, specifically the SS/laminate 16in bbl Ruger, in 38/357. It is also threaded for a can. And the handgun(s), there are many, the 66 S&W 4in and several others in 38. But each his own! ;)
