If you don't get the job done with yer first 6, it may be a little too late for another 6, IMO, but I guess it can't hurt...other than the cost ;-)

I always carry extra ammo. It's when I don't that I need it. You never know how long you may be out, so I think it best to have it. It won't weigh you done enough not to carry it IMHO.

haha...yeah I didn't plan on having time to reload a single action in the midst of a brawl. I meant for other hunting purposes as this will be my main holster. guess the question is whether or not that would be worth carrying ammo that way, or do you have another means that would be just as proficient and would allow for more ammo?

I use an ammo strip on my PP Bandito and it works wonerfully. I always wear a slide on my holster belt. Extra ammo is not a bad thing to have, but got a little fun out of the bear protection/reload thought is all ;-)

I'd expect you to have at least a full box in your pack.

on a side note, do you guys think I should go with the extra ammo patch on the holster? http://www.diamonddcustomleather.com/Guides_Choice_Reload.php


I have this same setup and wished I would have got ammo pouch when I ordered the holster.

After reading your post I had to include this S&W advertisement from 1966. Go with the 44....

That definitely is a classic. I hope he had a roll of TP on his other hip :-)
