Trail Gun Choices G20 vs SW629

[dude]

There are a few black bears and LOTS of mountian lions 'round these parts. In my pretty much everyday few hours out in the woods and lots of camping I happily carry a Taurus ti .357 snub with 7 shots of 125g soft point and don't feel a bit undergunned. As mentioned above the bears are rarely a threat and warning shots are usually enough. The 125 SP is more than enough for a big cat, even with the snub as the range will be quite short if needed.


This being said I am thinking about scoring a 4" Taurus ti and cutting it down to 3' just to get more performance out of the rounds while keeping it easy to tote in the fly vest.


Carry what you are most comfortable with.

I intend to get a S&W 329 as soon as the hit the wholesalers. 28 oz N frame 44 mag w/ 4" tube. Will replace my 625 as woodstrail gun. 10mm/45 ACP +P shoud be fine against animals, but the 44 is simply more useful.

This year I'm gonna be doin' the 10mm thang in the woods. I love this little G29 I picked up recently. Is it the near perfect "trail gun"? Hmmm. Best, John
