I don’t reload, but after doing some reading and listening to you guys I have considered it. I feel I’m perfectly capable, so it will more than likely be a road I travel at some point. Not necessarily right now, but it’s been added to my short list. I find it fairly interesting, and think it would be nice to have more control over each round the way I’d like it to be.
If you find yourself shooting more, you may want to try reloading. There are ways to get into it very cheap (usually slower). Or for a bit more, can get something that can pump out volume. I'm a blue machine guy, but many other sweet set ups out there. I first started about 25 years ago when I was frequenting IPSC matches. So it was all about the quickest (but affordable to me at the time) way to pump out enough practice and match rounds needed each week. But as my volume needs became less, reloading became a hobby of its own.
Before I knew it, I was tweaking loads, trying different powders and bullets, etc. And instead of just filling up the range bag with a thousand loose rounds, I started buying the little hundred round Tupperware ammo boxes, and documenting the exact recipe and component combo on each box. Yeah, got a bit excessive, but a ton of fun nonetheless.
It sounds like the OP has narrowed interest down to small group, so I'll just throw these out for giggles.
It's not the size, but how you use it.
I give you.....the Mountain Gun! It's so light and nimble, but the bear never had a chance.....of missing a meal.
And if you are into lugging around boat anchors, there are plenty of Judges for sale. Then you can mix and match .410 birdshot for snakes, with .45 Colt for bigger pests. I carried mine for a whole week once, while vacationing in Montana. Don't think it's been out of the safe since.
And if you are ever toting around a pocket pistol, you may as well add a pocket cannon and crossbow to the load out.
