I think one alternative to loading down high-powered rounds is to choose a gun that can easily be converted. I have a friend who has his eye on the Thompson Contender, which he claims can easily change calibers just by switching the barrel. I don't know if this is true or if it even requires a gunsmith. He wants to buy one with both .44 mag & .22 lr barrels.


Thompson has been making guns with interchangeable barrels for a long time (I can remember first seeing them in the 1970's). The down side is that they tend to be single shot target guns.
