Oh, believe me, I get it. This is not an inexpensive hobby. And an airweight J-Frame is not the most fun handgun with which to shoot 100 rounds at a time. Ask me how I know that.

I guess I'd just suggest bringing a more practical range gun (or guns) with you to make those visits worth your invested time and money. Both of my local indoor ranges charge by the hour, so I make damn sure I have a good hour's worth of artillery and ammo with me every time. .22's are still fun for me, easy on these old hands and still reasonably cheap to shoot.

And as jc2721 said, dry-firing can do a lot for you in these crazy times of super-expensive, hard-to-find ammo.
