I carried a G20 for a couple years whenever I did not have a long gun with me.

Two years ago I picked up a G29 and since have moved the 20 down the road.

165gr hp for stray dogs and humans, 230gr fmj while picking berries or hauling meat.

When my first daughter was a little over 2, I had her along looking for mushrooms in the cottonwoods by the river. Two agressive mastiff mixes had me with my daughter on my shoulders and my walking stick as my only defense.
