A .357 Mag would not be legal for hunting on Colorado using any load I have looked at.

That said I have carried a .45ACP, .357, 9mm and even a .22LR for defensive purposes. Never felt particularly good about the .22LR ...

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
