When I go into the woods, I always have my G20 with me ... loaded with the corbon penetrators.
For me, it's an accuracy issue. I have an Anaconda and a 629 5" classic. As well as a 686 and a couple j-frames. I simply enjoy shooting semi-autos more and, as such, I'm far more accurate with my G20 than any of my revo's.
If I've gotta protect my life (or that of my family while camping), I'll stake it on my G20 every time. Why? 'Cause 6 .44mag rnds don't mean ????? if they don't hit their target. And the plain truth is, I ain't gonna go broke practicing with my .44's trying to be just as accurate so on one of the several occasions I'm in the woods I can trust 6 .44's instead. The fact that I've got 10rds helps me sleep a little better too. Not that 10rds of 10mm is any better than 6 .44's (or even close to it). Just that if I get the chance to squeeze off several, I can.
My advice? Carry the one you're most accurate, under stress, with. If you get a G20, spend an extra $30 and put in a 3.5lbs connector ... it won't be like a 1911, but it sure made a big improvement for me.
BTW, I've had 2 black bears come into my campsite on the same day (two different episodes). I wasn't around for the first one (my buddy and I were about a mile away plinking while the women locked themselves in the other car) and the second one I chased away with my 1911 shooting over his head. Why the 1911? It just happened to be the only gun with me as I brought it for plinking (good thing we didn't use up all the ammo). At that point, I never gave bears a thought. Now I'm never in the woods without my G20. We lost a lot of food to the first bear. BTW, air-horns and pots-n-pans don't phase camp-bears. A .45acp will send 'em out of their skin though.

Good luck.
