aaalaska:
1) No, I don't anticipate going any bigger. I might at some point get a smaller faster round for little critters, but I can't see myself wanting more power from a pistol unless I somehow lose all my other guns.

2) I'm looking at 10" and 12" depending on what I can find. Right now I'm thinking I prefer the 10" version.

3) I'm planning on getting a 30-30 Marlin too, and reloading for both guns. The prevalence of 30 cal bullets and 30-30 brass are important to me.

Hopefully I'll be able to use faster burning powder to keep the velocity up in the shorter barrel.
