No, really you don't.

Until recently I carried a 4" Taurus 627, 7-shot .357 with 180 gr HC bullets in a belt slide holster when hiking/hunting. Sold that to my son when I bought the 6.5" Raging Bull in 454 with a Leupold Gilmore red dot. So now it will be my S&W 637 w/crimson trace during the summer, 454 with optics during hunting (bear/deer/elk) season, and take the optic off if hiking in bear country (after elk season). Shooting it with the weight of the optics makes the recoil of the 454 less but it's a pain to carry.

Yes, my shorts will be filling up, as she jumps me. My safety will be off while going for the kill zone.

For hiking and hunting I carry a Glock 21 converted to 460 Rowland in a G-Code OSH.

Here's one man who elected for the 10mm GLOCK with favorable results (he has since decided he needs heavier 10mm bullets)
https://www.alloutdoor.com/2018/09/14/g ... Newsletter Here's a nice detail from the story: "Although the bear was dead, its teeth were still hopelessly tangled in Bridger’s calf muscle. When rescue personnel arrived — quickly, thanks to his family’s close proximity at the time of the attack — they struggled and failed to free the meat from the fangs. Only after cutting the bear’s head off with a pocket knife could they transport Bridger and his now-gray leg muscle." _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

That story is intense, very glad that guy made it out alive to tell the story. As for a sidearm when hiking...right now the best one i have is my 4" barrel model 19-3, although i would prefer something lighter. But after reading that story im going to consider getting a glock 20. |

OWB XDM 9mm. Although thinking of upgrading to a larger caliber. When I got the gun it was for 2 legged animals. We also hike with our Ridgeback, and she creates a wide birth between 2 and 4 legged creatures.

Nice revival story Jim. Had me on the edge of my seat. Reminded me of the legendary mountain man Jim Bridger. I actually read the entire piece! (only took me two hours). Thanks for sharing that one.
