If you plan to carry the handgun exposed, which seems likely so you have fast access to it in an emergency, then the 29's only real advantage is a little bit of weight savings. I chose a G20 and mostly carry it in a Diamond D Guides Choice chest rig. I've killed deer, hog, a rattlesnake in a foul mood and been in a stare down with a black bear at 20 yards. It's a good woods gun.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
