I carry either a G19 or G26 if not in bear country. A G20 or G29 if bear are present.

A good medium frame 357 magnum with a 3-4" barrel could cover both situations with the same gun and different loads. Would be my 2nd choice.

I just like the Glocks a little better. They are lighter, more compact and hold more ammo.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
