Before the advent of the .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, etc... when an individual needed a sidearm for The Great Out-of-doors, what was their preferred cartridge ? I know both we and the Brits had our respective love affairs with large bore, low pressure cartridges; but what of "Average Joe" who wanted an outdoors gun ? I know S&W has sold a slue of the 32/22 Kit Gun, among others; but I'd love to know what the preferred woods handgun cartridge was back in say, 1920 or 1930. Probably something along the lines of a .44 Spl or similar. Grandpappy's Colt Single Action, or what have you.
