[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1888260, member: 26227"] Josip89, as I read it you need protection from a myriad of toothy animals. Bear, Boar, Wolf, and bobcat. bobcat is the least of the worries here. the big one is the Boars and Bears. wolf is a close second. from what you stated, you need protection from these big mean toothy adversaries. honestly I am thinking a short barreled rifle over a pistol or revolver. Bear and Boar need the 44 Mag, 454 Cassull, 445 Ultra, 45 Colt+P(Ruger only), 460 S&W, 500 S&W, the Linbaugh series. these are quite franky all revolver cartridges. the 10MM with a 200 grain slug will do the job but you will need a few back up shot to stop a bear or a boar. a more desirable solution for you anyway is a Marlin big bore lever gun; 18.5" "guide gun" series. these come in the 45-70, 450 Marlin, 444 Marlin, and if you get the big bore 1894 series you can get them in 41 Mag, 44 mag, 45 colt, 454 Cassull, 460 S&W and 500 S&W. If you reload your own with the heaviest slugs, shoot them at higher velocities, and use less ammo. the trade-off is these are rifles, not handguns. your situation has many tough choices. I hope you keep safe and protect yourself well with what ever choice you make. Ah hell I went off and did not remeber this gun choice is a backup for a rifle or am I not understanding one of your last posts? I went under the presumption you were going to use this as a primary defense while in the woods hiking. still my advice is sound. you use it the way you wish to. [/QUOTE]
