Well, as far as I am concerned I am not back to pistols really, because I never left them! You see, what I do now is carry an Airlight S&W 22 caliber eight round revolver in a holster settled on my belt in the middle of my belt where its lightness is often forgotten till I undress at the of the day. And often I carry a very lightweight 20GA pump shotgun, too. This combination works for nearly everything except ideal personal protection from the quite possible ne’er do wells often encountered in remote areas that motor vehicles can still reach. So, what I have proposed is to somehow combine a 22 with a shotgun in one very light and convenient general purpose “survival” firearm but always carry a sidearm for the human threats that are possible. This cuts down on weight. Less weight to carry obviously translates into more energy to enjoy the great outdoors and increase the likelihood that you will have what you need when you need it. I think it excessive to carry two pistols plus the shotgun for routine outings and if two of them could be combined into one it would just be more sensible.
