The Ludicrous Cost Of Firearms

Here's my next purchase. Can be carried cross-body, and believe it or not the handgun...and it is a handgun...is designed so well with regards to ergonomics that, for me at least, makes it a lot more accurate and with less kick than a .44 magnum. We don't have what anyone would call a winter here, but there are occasions during the December through February months where a light jacket is necessary, particularly in the morning. 

Since open carry remains a no-no... except when hunting but that's problematic depending upon the time of the month a staunch officer of the law might be approaching to have a rag-fest on you because he doesn't agree with you having the same rights as he...this might very well be a very cool swamp defense weapon concealed cross-body under that light jacket. Animals do not hibernate in Florida, on the contrary; bears are hungrier than ever, the coyotes get bolder during the "winter", and the gators are hell on wheels during the afternoon hours once they've warmed up. So the deeper one goes the smarter one need be and carrying a long gun isn't something I cherish doing under certain circumstances.

The PTR will set me back no more than a S&W .500 magnum, and at around a grand apiece both are ridiculously priced, but that, as they say, is that. Checked a decent .223 or 5.56 AR-type lately?
