Did you really order yourself one of those? I remember when those first came out and thinking they were the most impractical firearm invented but really wanted one for a reason I couldn't explain or justify  :laugh:

Yea, I know, I just wanted one. If nothing else I'll keep it a while and sell it or give it away. Watch the video, the shot placement was interesting, you would think it would shoot snake eyes. My eyes are getting bad, and I don't practice with handguns enough anymore, ammo is too hard to get in most of the popular calibers. I should stick to short barreled shotguns :cheers I'm not even sure how many handguns I have. My CCC permit lets me buy as many as I want without having to get another permit. I do have to pass the background check, but that's a breeze. I'm a big supporter of the local police and the sheriff.

I don't carry in everyday life or in the backcountry. But the increased number of bears and the fatal attack at hazel creek have me rethinking the backcountry. 90 percent o the time I'm alone. Have never had a problem but like a say considering. So what are y'all carrying in backcountry ? I have plenty of rifles and shotguns but only handgun is an old Barney fife looking smith and Wesson 38 special.

That .38 will probably just get you ate up. My usual carry everywhere is a Glock 23 in .40 S&W. Still weak for a bear, but with 14 Speer Gold Dots inside and 15 more in my pocket, it oughta get one off of you at arm's length range.

Shoot some hot special +P in it will give you time to at least get your knife out. /"\   I'm like you,  I'm taking them a little more serious now days. I think we may have too many bears and not enough food and I think the lack of hunting pressure has given them a free ticket. This gun that I just ordered may fill a need in that area.

Yes I figured the 38 wasn't enough. Looking online there are nothing much in stock in anything. Havnt fired a handgun in years. Thinking smaller sized 44. I'm old school probably go with revolver.

I think .357 with some hot ammo would be plenty. Ruger makes a solid affordable one.The problem with those hand cannons is getting the dang thing pointed back in the right direction after it's fired the first time. Nothing wrong with well made revolvers, people get too hung up on the number of rounds. If you  haven't killed or mortaly wounded and animal with 5 or 6 shots you're in real trouble anyway.

I don't think you would need that, I've seen photos of you. You would probably scare them to death. :P  ;D
