resolution
Four or five, six shooter reloads of weighty 44 mgn rounds. It does indeed counter balance the revolver weight from the other side.
Long ago, I made up my mind that if I had to carry some weighty object, then, I would just resolve to do so, and not contemplate the weight. Just accept that it is there, and walk on. So it is.
I like the do it yourself adaptation too. "Necessity is the 'mother' of invention."
Quite sensible of "shadowalker" to do the routine examination and verification of his equipment.
Those instructors of Adv. Tactical, etc. have the priceless knowledge of experience, Doc2005, any wise person will at least listen and reflect on what they have to say and give it the consideration it deserves. You're correct.
"Vast majority of self defense shootings," is statistical. The odds are random, that is, if you happen to be involved in a fantastic one hundred shootings during your lifetime, and ninetynine were two shot occurences, the "odds" for the onehundredth would not be effected / changed, either diminished or increased towards the one that requires multiple shots. It may occur at the first shootout, somewhere in between, or at the end. Your first shoot out of your sweet life may be the one facing multiple opponents and require enough ammo.
And for the statisticians who now conclude that "yea" if I'm facing multiple opponents then I'm dead anyway. I suppose you would be with that attitude.
Yes; should they simutaneously attack in coordination with each other, but no, if it is an evolving situation.
If you have "done your homework," make sure you do not place yourself in danger by assuming things that may not necessisarily so. Abstract math philosophy only forms inductive judgements, not certainties. Odds are OK, I suppose, when the wager is just plain old money. But when my life may be the risk, even the remote odds have to be weighed very closely.
"More likely to need a cell 'phone than a reload?" If you're out and about the town, certainly yes. If you are targeted by a criminal, even though all the odds were so much against that happening, then consider again. Most likely at that time would you need a cell 'phone or ammo? "My kingdom for ammo!"
Don't assume that you can escape a dangerous situation either. That assumptions is dangerous. You may have to fight until it is over.
I have come close to running out of ammo, and at that moment, the "burden" of carrying the weight, suddenly vanshed. No burden at all, it's my life saver.
If I'm going to bother to carry at all, I'm going to carry enough to be in the fight.
