Like others have said, if I'm carrying a shotgun or a rifle my handgun would usually be a .22lr. Which would be a Ruger 22/45 with a Tactile Solutions barrel on it that makes that combo super light on the hip.
If bowhunting or fishing in backwoods of Idaho, it's a Ruger Old Vaquero Stainles Bisley 5.5" 44MAG filled with cast 300g slugs at 1377fps over the chronograph. Powerfull with a "wee" bit of recoil.
General woods walking or fishing in main areas would be a Glock 22 loaded with cast 180g slugs at 1170fps with a back up mag in the pocket.
The search for the perfect packin' pistol seems like an eternal search with difficulty in finding just the one shooter that does all, hence the three above.
