What sidearm do you carry when hunting?

[UncleSugar]

I traded out my Colt King Cobra .357 mag for a Glock 20, 10mm is a great caliber.

 

[salmonriverjohn]

I have to hope you received at least five of them in trade for the Colt!

Glock 20 SF, 16 rounds of 10mm makes me feel better even if I'd be pissing my pants while blazing away! I've had several bear and cougar encounters and never fired a shot but I still won't go gunless.

Ruger Blackhawk .357 or Colt GC 1911 .45acp

 

[GPR54]

A .54 cal black powder precussion hand gun , matches my rifle, when I'm not to far from camp or the truck. Hand gun isnt worth the weight when packing is involved

I only traded the Glock for the Colt when it comes to my hip during hunting season. I would never get rid of that Colt, I have had it for about 20 years, one of my favorite guns.

I like the ballistics of the 10mm, very close to .357 mag, and the 16 round capacity of the Glock.

I always have my P-11 on me, even while hunting.

Isn't worth the weight? If that's the case, then you need some help in choosing a handgun! I can pick a few that are more powerful than "needed".

New to Northwest Firearms but old to the world and Oregon. Hello to all. I carry a Colt Trooper III .357.

 

[Stomper]

I am currently in a tent above Timothy Lake armed with a S&W .357 in hip-carry, a Glock-30 shoulder rig, a Ruger American .308 for the deer tomorrow, and in case things get "two-legged intense", a Draco with six standard capacity magazines in a shoulder carry bag.

 

[Capn Jack]

Yes...Yes...We've got your heat signature. Please move a little more to your left.....

Jack.....

 

[Stomper]

Laugh all you want turkeys, I bagged a forked horn buck this morning at about 8:30.... WOOT!

 

[Capn Jack]

Nice shot Stomper,

But it doesn't count unless you're off of the porch.

As for me, nothing special. It's what I always carry,
S&W 469 with 11 home brew 145gr HP's.

Jack...

Way to go Stomper!

i honestly think i'd be less scared/more squared away shooting at marijuana growers with AKs.

I suspect if you stumble onto a marijuana growing operation you will be seen long before you see them - if ever.

Raven. 25 auto. Its my throwdown piece. Drop it next to the deer and tell the bunny sheriff he drew first and I feared for my life. Remember to stop talking at this point without an attorney and only use factory ammo lest you upset Massad Ayoob.

Wolves are the only animal on earth that kills for fun, other than people.

I carry a G34/17, but I will probably be buying a G20 to take over that spot this year.
It amazes me you guys that don't carry a back up in the woods. Even if I go on a day hime a pack. Not for the cougars, wolves, badgers, etc it's a the two legged beast that roam among us

 

[Elkmark1]

I carry a Glock 37 45 gap everywhere when I am in the woods.
