Switch from Gold to Brass and Lead. The brass is just as pretty, the lead just as heavy, and if gold goes through the roof the lead will appreciate just as much. Esp. in 45 ACP.
IMHO, the whole “invest in brass and lead” thingy is silly. Just plain silly.
I’m not sure what part of the world you live in, but where I live, there are probably 3.5 million people within 40 miles of me.
So even if you live near a town, let’s say a “small” town of 100,000 people, what you gonna do when your measly 500 rounds run out?
OK, so you have 1,000 rounds - same question.
Now I’ll got out on a limb and speculate that you have 10,000 rounds - what you gonna do when you break a firing pin?
In the interest of full disclosure, I have a couple guns and a few hundred rounds, but really, let’s be honest here.
