I carried my Boy Scout knife then demo in my pocket with a lanyard clipped to my belt. Nowadays I carry a multitool-usually a Leatherman-and a folding knife, usually a Buck 110 in belt sheaths.

Always carried a Boy Scout/Swiss Army knife-in my Army days a "demo knife". It seems the can opener and the screwdrivers saw the most use.

On another board someone asked this question. IIRC all New Models are built on the Super Blackhawk frame and a new cylinder wouldn't fit on an Old Model Blackhawk Frame. ?

Years ago I tried Blue Dot in .357. Accurate with JHPs, not so with lead bullets.

My understanding is that the "experts" say factory ammo for SD so no one can paint you as a sadistic fiend out to do grievous harm. I don't hunt, if I did accuracy would be my prime interest, along with having lower cost tailored ammunition for practice.

Also the 380 case is shorter.

For me, "range ammo" are my reloads, for self defense, a good factory round.

Not my 1st, 2nd, 3rd or even 4th choice, but beats fists. feet and foul language. Jfee Cooper said if you have to rely on the 22 aim for the eyes, I recall a case where an elderly person stopped a perp with a throat shot.

Both probably carried much and fired little. As a Gun Guru said to me over 40 years ago "You don't shoot bluing!"
