I have a Glock 43 (9mm) that I really like for hiking/backpacking. Don't know if they all are, but mine is really accurate. It drops right into a back pocket, mine is there now as I just got back from a (ta da!) 2.6 mile walk. Which hurt the whole [bleep] time, but still.
Your friend just learned that hopin' and wishin' and good thoughts and rainbows and unicorns don't do much when someone or something is trying to hurt you. Good on him for buying a gun. My best wishes to him, and his dogs as well.

Ya, today I had a little 9mm Kahr with me. Very light, similar in size to the little Glock.
Often I put up with more weight and carry either a 2.5" 357 mag S&W Model 19, or even my 45 1911. Ya, the 1911 weighs a lot, but I've been carrying one for 40 years or so. It feels kinda natural there.
Poor guy - and his poor dogs. We've got wolves, bears, mountain lion and coyotes here. I hike and mountain bike year round - something is always along with me, just in case.
Another friend's father was bird hunting. Wolf got his dog.

I've owned several Kahr's; they are good guns. I can shoot a Glock much more accurately because of the trigger... the long smooth pull of the Kahr gives me the yips. They re-allowed us to pop grouse with a .22 about 10 years ago. I've been thinking I need to carry one for just that reason.

For what it is- basically a pocket pistol- mine is stoopid accurate! How's yours? After messing with S&W revolvers... Kahr's... Kimber 1911...I've gone all the way to the Glock dark side. My truck gun is a G19. My bedside pistol is a G22. My trail/bear pistol is the big 10mm... I think that's the G20. The grip angle works for me (they hit where I intuitively point), they always go bang, they aren't expensive and you can't hurt 'em, and if you DID hurt it.... meh.... it's a Glock, who cares? I shot so much long gun as a kid that it's got some real romance and juice to me... comes naturally and I'm good at it... did not shoot handguns at ALL; they are just tools and I'm not real good with them.

yeah mine shoots pretty well, especially considering it's size; I carry a 23 for work (soon to go to a 17 though is the rumor) and appreciate it's simple, but effective operation in fitness news- 5 miles on snow packed/icy trails w/ Tiny E

Rode 22+ miles today with 1500' elevation gain. I was getting some pretty good pangs at first but by the end it was feeling pretty good! Curious to see how things go as it tightens back up tonight, but overall, I'm very pumped. It felt sooooo good to get a great aerobic burn going on the big climb.

I have really been working on my breathing and endurance.
I have my 500 meter row down to a consistent 1 minute 28 seconds. My 1000 is right at 3 minutes.
My best 500m row time is 1:25 but have never been able to repeat it.
So I decided to try out the 02 Trainer, yes it is made in China! But so far I like what I have seen so far. I have only been training for a week with it. So right now I am doing 60 breaths in the morning and 60 breaths at night. I have not seen massive improvement, but a realistic improvement for sure. What I have noticed towards the end of the week was that my normal breathing is slower and for lack of a better word easier. I am going to do it for 30 days on it's own twice a day before I introduce it into my workout.
