I bought a Model 51 with that in mind and a friend who is handy at leather-working was good enough to sew up a nice little belt pouch for me that will hold two boxes of 50 rounds. My idea was that I didn't want to risk becoming separated from the gun AND ammunition. Both would be on my belt. That was all in prep for a hunting trip that fell through due to some unfortunate medical problems with the friend who invited me, and, sadly, he was never able to go again. The 51 never left Indiana and it doesn't look like it will, but one never says never. I think it is the ideal gun for the purpose, but I can't claim to have the experience.

I liked the 51 so well that I later got a Model 651 (continuing my experimenting), and while the 651's sights are a nuisance, it is even more accurate than the 51. Both nice little guns for the purpose you mention.

Let us know how it goes with the 329NG. I don't see a lot about them.
