Which bag is that? My G27 needs one It's just a Lowepro I found at the local WM in the electronics section. I keep the top partially unzipped, which still conceals the gun, but allows quick access. I have a slightly smaller one that my G27 fits into, but it's too small for the G29.

Hawk, Hang in there. And enjoy the peace when it comes. It will come. Thanks for the kind words Dirt. I'm so much more peaceful since I moved away from the Beast about 15 months ago. Got a new fiance who is wonderful and supports everything I do, and vice versa. Talk about day vs. night. Congrats. Best of luck with the divorce.

I just need to build out there. Just got through a nasty, but ultimately morale-inducing, divorce from something close to Satan, which delayed things, and I'm going through a job change in a few days. So, I hope to pull the trigger in a few months.
I hope you post about the process of building out there. It sounds like a great adventure you're on!

You can tell what section of the country people live in, by their responses. Those in urban, more settled areas worry more about a gun for two legged predators while those near wilderness worry about four legged ones.

[ Congrats. Best of luck with the divorce. Thanks. The divorce ended in April. So, that's behind me except for all of the alimony BS for a number of years.

I hope you post about the process of building out there. It sounds like a great adventure you're on! I'm going to go modular. I had two builders working on the plans, but I have hit the pause button until I get more established at the new firm. I'm basically going to go without income for two months once I switch over because I only get paid what is collected from the clients. So, there will be about a 2-month lag. I would have left already, but I'm trying to squeeze some more $$ out of my current firm first. It's going to look something like this: But it will have a lower level walkout with 10ft ceilings that will match the style of the upper in front, which about 2/3 will be an exceedingly-large garage/workshop in back, and 1/3 will be a large rec room to put the moose, bear, and pool table, also with a small BR, kitchenette, and bath for in-laws and the like. Overall, it will be about 2,400 sf, not counting the garage.

Ruger Security-Six .357 Mag. Nothing wrong with that. Simplicity, strength and a hard-hitting round. Bob

I think I'd go with a browning hi power, that or my glock 20.

Was thinking about the magazine thing for the P220. So I bought magazines like I did for the 1911. A few. Be Well, RZ.

My M29 3" 44 mag, BUT only of I get unlimited amounts of my choice of powder, primers brass and bullets.
When I was a teen my only 3 handguns for a few years were my Cap and Ball Ruger Old Army, my Colt New Frontier 22 and my 44 mag. I found that by making my own hand loads the 44 mag did it all.
I would load a lead ball with 3 grains of Unique to do what my 22 would do. The day to day load was 8.5 of Unique with a 250 grain SWC and the heavy load was 22 grain of 2400 and the same bullet but cast from Lino-Type. I stopped using the Old Army much after I started using the 44 mag, not because the Cap and ball didn't work well, but the 44 mag did everything cleaner and was easier to reload. When I got out of high school I went into the Marines and later worked for DOID and also did a short time as a Sheriff's deputy. In that time I used various handguns at various times from a 1911 to a S&W M58 41 mag, a S&W M28 357 mag and a S&W M12 38 special. But at no time did I ever find any of them that I could shoot any better then my 4" M29 and many of them not as well.
So coming full circle, if for some reason I was forced to own only 1 handgun again, it would be the one I started with as a teen.
A 4" 44 magnum and a full reloading set-up. Nailed it. The first line disclaimer makes it happen, but I get it. Loaded to it's full potential the 44m should handle anything a handgun could. The mentioned round ball load taxes powder & lead supplies to the tune of a 32 H&R mag. Smaller calibers help with the shooters ability to carry more ammo, that's about it. Nothing smaller than the 44M can equal it otherwise. Reloading, the beauty here. I bought a 215 grain mold last year just to save lead over my 260K while plinking. Thinking about the above, my new mold should have dropped a lighter bullet than that. Come to think of it though, I did mention a 45 Colt BH with an ACP cylinder. I've said I should put some non flammable grips on mine as it could be a pistol to ride into Hell with.

Tough call between a Glock 22 and 4 inch 686.

I think I'd go with a browning hi power, that or my glock 20. Hard to argue with the Glock 20. Mine has served me well. I would prefer one of my N frames in a caliber that starts with 4, but truth be told, the Glock 20 has spent much time on my belt in situations where I didn't want the N frames to get too dirty or fouled up, but still wanted a handgun I could reach out and touch something at 100 yards or so.

Easy choice for me, my 4" Smith and Wesson M19 would be the one I'd grab if it came down to only one.

The G20 makes sense, especially when people are routinely shooting 40 S&W though them unmodified and getting excellent reliability.
