[QUOTE="rain4est, post: 1919529, member: 51396"] When hunting anything up here in Alaska with a bow, I carry a S&W 44 mag. revolver (model #329PD). It is made out of a scandium alloy & titanium cylinder & weighs 25 oz without bullets (+5 oz). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/model-329pd[/URL] As del2les mentioned earlier, some magnum loads are susceptible to bullet slippage - especially in this light gun. Because of this, I do not shoot +P or +P+ ammo. Instead, I shoot Underwood 220 grain Xtreme Penetrators (Good call on Sanford338 in his 10mm). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.underwoodammo.com/collections/handgun-ammo/cartridge_44-remington-magnum+application_dangerous-game[/URL] When hunting with a rifle (300 WSM), I typically do not carry additional weapons. When backpacking, hiking, & fishing - I usually carry either the 44 above or bear spray. [/QUOTE]
