In any forum, these are always interesting threads. My take is: I'm glad to have fellow gun owners and 2A supporters in the woods. Maybe you just like your pistol, or it's a work of fine craftsmanship, or it's your favorite one, or it was handed down by a family member, or you have real protection needs. Who cares. When I'm in the mountains of Colorado, I'm always carrying and it's usually one of two "woods" guns. A Kimber 1911 10mm customized by Luke Volkmann or a G20 with a 5.5" Jarvis barrel. The Glock sees the most use. Both put out a over 600ft.lbs. of energy with factory loads and close to 700ft.lbs. with my reloads - chronographed, not estimated. Never had to use either, but have had a close call with a bear where the G20 was in hand.
