I don't really know what your ultimate "goals" are with this collection, but it should be noted that of your three types of firearms, only one is in a popular "official" round for our continent.
For pistols you've chosen .45, a very popular gun to be sure, but not widely in use by any government agencies for 20 years as far as I know.
For rifles you've chosen 7.62x39, another popular one, but not only not used widely by any government agency in the US, is it even manufactured here? I'm really asking as I don't know. The only 7.62x39 I've ever seen was imported.

Beyond the obvious TSHTF scenarios, the one thing you can be fairly sure of is that when everything else goes to hell, they'll still make ammo for the government. It may go up and down in price, but 9mm .40 and 5.56 will *always* be available. Our economy might pick up in 12 months like they say, it might not. I wouldn't want to be tied 100% to ammunition that was manufactured for sport shooting, or ammo that had to be shipped here.

Remington makes 7.62x39 ... not the best pricing which is why you really don't see it. Not many people shoot brass through their AKs/SKSs

KB ... glad you made a decision. I saw that you got an AK ... what pistol did you buy?

So, you have everything you could possibly need in a defensive mode but you want more? Sounds like you are looking for an excuse to buy another pistol/rifle/shotgun? If that is truly the case, then just go ahead an do it.

You really do have everything you need!
