Hello,
I travel for work in some rather barren areas and have wanted a high caliber pistol mainly for target practice (gets kind of boring in the middle of nowhere), but serves the secondary purpose of black and brown bear defense and generally just to feel safe in some of the seriously off map places I have been visiting. Willing to consider a .44 magnum, but I am adamant about it being a Mark XIX, preferably with lower rails but its not a deal breaker. I am located in Clackamas, but am willing to make a drive anywhere in Oregon for the right price. Also first time buyer so I do not know the exact process of purchasing. Plan to cerakote it so finish is not important.
Before any one asks or suggests, yes a rifle would be more effective at animal defense, however due to traveling with 800lbs of gear already, and having little space to spare in work vehicle, I would have to seriously rethink what i pack on usual business trips than if I just went with a Desert Eagle, so I would rather avoid that.
