Lately I've been carrying a Judge Ultralite in a form-fitted Hunter leather belt-holster when I'm on the farm or in the local woods. I live in a very rural agricultural area, but this is the Southeast... No big bears... I've decided the Judge lacks the accuracy at the distance that I'd like to be able to hit a coyote, feral dog, or rabid skunk at. I was considering a S&W model 10, heavy 4" bbl 38+P, or a Taurus Model 82. This gun will get carried a lot, shot a lot, and pretty beat-up with time. I also considered a .44 mag Taurus Tracker 44C, but thought I'd like to stay .38 because there's always a S&W 442 in my pocket too, and ammo interchangeability means I could carry 4 speed-strips of the same caliber, instead of splitting it up.
At the store today, I got intrigued with a Ruger GP141 .357. It's a 4" bbl, blued, adj sight. I'll want to shoot .38 with it for plinking, but would likely carry it loaded with .357.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any input,
Les
