Folks - I am looking for some opinions. I have a couple of 9 x 19 handguns, and I take my glock 19 with me into the woods and when I go camping. I also have a tokarev 7.62 x 25 handgun. Mountain lions and bears (Western Wa, so not grizz I don't think but I'm not local) are the biggest thing I will encounter.
I feel that 9mm is enough for 2 legged creatures but I really begin to question it's ability on bigger stuff, but I have nothing to base that feeling on. So for a decent woods/camping handgun do I need to go out and buy a .45 something (not interested in 10mm) or should I be plenty comfortable with a G19.
It's the only reason I'd want a .45, my wife could never shoot it well among other reasons.
Thoughts and opinions, please? If I was way back in the woods, I will more than likely have a rifle on me, this is handgun opinion only.
Thanks -
Scott
