These are the pistols I carry for convenience. I often use others to hunt with. Obviously I have more choices than necessary.
Most often I carry a 651 .22 WMR. especially when with a long gun along and grouse are in season. If I am after sage rats, I use its near twin a M63 .22LR.
For summer hiking in Oregon, I like my Taurus Ti 4 in .357. Two snake shot and five 158 gr XTP's.
If I may be out late, or when camping/hiking in the woods it is a 9mm or .40 S&W Glock with night sights and BB hard cast.
For trips to see my oldest son and do some hiking in Wyoming and Montana I have a .45 Colt 4 in Redhawk. A couple of snake shot and some hardcast in summer. Just hardcast in winter.
