I lug it around because it will destroy anything that needs destroying in my area, is more powerful than my CAR out to 75-100 yards (which we all agree is where defensive power is most important), it's less than half the weight of the CAR, and I don't have to "actively" carry it through the woods all day; it just rides in the holster all by itself, not banging around on a sling or occupying my hands the way a rifle does.223 fan said:...waste $1500 on a 3 lb clunk, lug it around for nothing...
