The G30S would be a good candidate.




It's roughly the size of a G19. In fact may G19 holsters will work for it.

It is lightweight with good capacity. With a factory 10 rounder in the gun and a G21 13 round mag as a reload, you should have more than enough ammo to solve most problems.

Plus you really don't need to worry about it getting wet, muddy dusty, whatever. Not much will make them choke.

I got mine for those times when I wanted to minimize the weight I was carrying, like when packing out hind quarters in wolf/bear, big cat country.

It has proven to be a very accurate, great little gun. In fact it is quickly becoming one of my favorite .45s.


Oh yeah, Since you reload, you could run some heavy for caliber cast flat points like some 250s. That should be more than adequate for most critters you are likely to run into.
