It's hardly ultra modern, but I really like my S&W 637 airweight .38spcl. I did shoot my buddy's 3" Kimber .357 and I think I'd go for that if I had it to do over.

I carry mine while hiking in the summer. It's a handy little piece. I sometimes put shot in it for snakes.

I would pick .357 mag simply because I think it would be more versatile. As a hand loader I can load up some .38 sp wadcutters for the range, some .357 JHPs to make a backup load for hunting and personal protection, and some .38 sp shot loads for pests.

This depends a lot on the threat. A .22WMR is going to be more effective than harsh language, but shot placement will be key.

I have one of these in 22WMR over 20Ga. I rarely use the shotgun barrel, but I have an inexpensive scope on it and the .22mag barrel shoots to the point of aim of the scope.

I've been to the range with the Hellcat and the Sig 365X and much prefer the Sig.

I like the .22WMR for things like woodchucks. My back yard is right around 100 yards long and it seems to do Ok there.

All the centerfire levers I've fired are Marlins. I own a 336 in .30-30, which is a pretty fabulous deer rifle for a lot of scenarios, and a 1894 SBL in .44mag which I adore, simply because it's fun to shoot. I download .44mag rounds to lower pressure to shoot for kicks and have full-power...

I haven't noticed a trend that indicates more rounds fired in self-defense scenarios. I carry a 7+1 shot .45 and a 15+1 shot 9mm with equal enthusiasm. If I'm in a self-defense situation that requires a reload I normally have a spare mag.

These days my go-to .22LR pistol is my Beretta 92FS with the Beretta 22LR conversion slide and barrel. It's great for training on the range, and of course I have the original 9mm parts for serious purposes. I like the idea of a .22LR kit gun, but my go-to for this is my S&W 637 in .38spcl...

I've carried old JHPs. I usually shoot them up before they get very old, but I'm pretty sure I have some 20+ year old stuff and I carry it without reservation.

Not really. Just had a talk with the Mrs. about some contingencies we hadn't discussed in a while.

I've had one for many years. Definitely reliable and easy to shoot. I never had to carry one in battle but I carried one as my CPL gun for years. I would trust my life to it.

The gun in your hand is more useful than the one you leave at home because it's too big to carry.

I use the Vortex Viper on mine.

I recently picked up a 229 Legion. My second Sig, my first Legion. I definitely like it.

I have the lightweight Mark IV 22/45 and really like it.

No struggle. It's been years since I've only had one carry gun. I like my compact 1911 most of the time, but I have a few others.

I have a Colt Delta Elite and like it very much. But candidly, when I walk in the woods I usually carry an airweight snubby in .38, or my Sig 938 (9mm).
