What you say makes since and was considered long and hard for my application.
I'm looking to keep the weight down to a minimum. I do own a Ruger MKII Gov't
that is the most accurate 22 pistol I've owned. The problem is it's a tank.
Finding something that is very light and accurate is hard to find (haven't found
it yet).
Having a tac. shotgun would be with me at all times anyway, so being under gunned
wouldn't be an issue. I've also thought about said shotgun having bird shot as
the first round down the pipe as a small game getter. Shotgun shells are heavy
and bulky to carry around.
S&W 317 3.5" maybe???
