Correct answer.

Autocorrect wanted to say colorectal answer. I caught it.

I don't. We have mtn lions and bears. Bears can almost always be talked out of doing something rude. If a lion decides to take you, it will likely be over, one way or the other, before you ever get a sidearm into play.

Just depends. Wide variety of options from a hi power to a model 1914 Mauser to a nm ruger flat top 44special.

.357

If I were around grizzlies then I'd probably want something else but I always felt safe with this thing when in the woods in Oregon.

Definitely feel safe with it here in Texas.

Usually a 9mm for defense against people

I'm about 50/50 none or a S&W bodyguard. 380 for defense against two legged animals

I take a S&W 686. But it is mainly for protection from 2 legged creatures. There are some odd ducks out there in the woods.

I have a Ruger Super Redhawk in .480 with a scope. You know you have a big gun when you buy a belt mount "scabbard" as opposed to a holster.

I'm kidding about carrying it, that damn thing stays in the safe except when I find some poor sucker that thinks they are man enough to squeeze off a few.

Kimber 1911 is my serious answer.

Norinco 1911 clone. Had that thing for 20 years and has never misfired.

When hiking in bear country with friends, all I carry is my .22 Jetfire. If a bear charges, I put one round in somebodies kneecap. Then I run like hell.

Back in October, my cousin showed up with his fancy .45 for our elk hunt. He carried it one day and decided he could do without the weight.

Working directly with bears and mountain lions, I never felt the need to carry.

Yeah, there are some weird dudes out there some times.

In Alaska I carried a S&W 629 Alaskan 4' barrel 44 mag. Sometimes. I always would if we got deep in the woods where getting lost or stuck or something was a real, if remote, possibility. Most of the time on easy day stuff I just carried bear spray.

I usually do not in Texas.

My trusty hi point; cause a regular hammer is too heavy.
