I find myself thinking I need one of these. Partly for fun and partly for protection in the mountains. Any experience/thoughts on this handgun? https://ruger.com/products/lcrx/specSheets/5444.html

Any experience/thoughts on this handgun? No experience here with that model, just thoughts: As folks try to talk you out of a .357, stick to your guns (so to speak). If you want one, get one.

I carry a 3" 357 for woods carry. I have to say its a good combination of weight size and power. Small and light enough that i can always carry even if going a long way, small enough that I can conceal when i need to, like when using a public trail for access and I don't want to wig-out the Granola heads. Plenty of power for coyotes and two legged predators and should dissuade black bears and we don't have anything larger. Mine is scandium 3" so I practice with light 38's but the Ruger the OP listed should have enough heft to let you shoot a fair amount of full power in it. And I don't have to hunt for my brass. The 3" gives me enough sight radius to shoot reasonable accurately.
The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
