I've had a S&W Airweight (317-3) consistently lock up on me. This is a little ol' 22 rimfire.
It turns out that it specifically did not like Wolf Match Target ammo. It would bulge out the base of the case after firing (every single time) and thus lock up the cylinder- having to use a mallet to open the cylinder. Any other ammo that I had used was fine except for that Wolf ammo.

I carry a 44 mag at a minimum in elk country, either a SW629-4 MG or a SW329PD in a Simply Rugged pancake either on my belt or strapped to my packs hip belt if backpack hunting. Enough to deal with predators of the two and four legged kind. What do you carry at the maximum?

I've carried a number of different firearms over the years. Everything from an old cheap buffalo scout .22 to a Stainless 6" Colt .357.
For me, it mostly depended on what I was doing and where I was going. When I was a teen in the 1970's and trapping, it was the
.22lr buffalo scout. Loaded with .22 shorts. Only used to put a critter out of it's misery.
Residing in Arizona, after years of carrying a heavy pistol and having to pull my britches up every 50 ft, I've come to appreciate
my little Kel-tec PMR-30 .22 WMR.
It holds 30 rounds, functions flawlessly, and is more accurate than I am. With a spare magazine, that's 60 rounds of ammo.

Enough to deal with predators of the two and four legged kind. What do you carry at the maximum? Custom single action Ruger 5-shot conversions chambered in either .475 or .500 Linebaugh... also in Simply Rugged pancake holsters. As John Linebaugh says... "powerful, practical and packable". The .475 is from Linebaugh, the .500 from Reeder. Both are fantastic packing Guns, albeit single actions.
