Thats very true, and kind of tilts me over to that side of the fence from 45acp. Bolth the 45, and the 357 can be loaded light for pratice, training, and small game use, or heavy for larger game, and defence. Bolth a 3 or 4" revolver, or a 1911 can be worn, and carryed, and the rounds dont take up that much packing room for a "bug out" situation.. [the 357 being tall but skinny.. the 45 fat... but farly short.. ] As for rifle... Id have to go 30-06. When you add handloading to the mix, it just does it all.. Easy to work with, can down load it to light loads, or load it to shoot through brick walls!
