We all have different needs and wants predicated on circumstances unique to one's own self.
...different fantasies!

You mail it to yourself. You cannot carry it if driving:As an aside, if you're driving to Alaska, how do you get a pistol through Canada legally? Mail it to some party first? Canada always reminds me of why I hate socialism so much.
All practical purposes.. if you are attacked by a Clay block … not much difference ….
He referred to the 40 S&W as” Slow and weak”
Showing his ignorance…
I guess he doesn’t consider a 9mm a effective round
Yes. I have some connections in Wasilla.As an aside, if you're driving to Alaska, how do you get a pistol through Canada legally? Mail it to some party first? Canada always reminds me of why I hate socialism so much.
"Different fantasies"? So predictable. No crystal ball needed to expect judgmental criticisms from those who disagree with someone else's opinion.
IMO, it's a familiarity thing. They know a semi auto more than they do a revolver. Another is price, the revolvers cost more typically. Beyond that, they'd rather have something that they could use "better" for self defense if they were to carry it as more than just an outdoors pistol.For what purpose do you think that they want those things?
Thats my bucket list handgun for the last year or so. It checks several boxes for me since I load both .45s. I could also deer hunt with it here.My Ruger Redhawk 45 acp / 45 Colt is tempting
Glock Gen 4's have well supported chambers. I haven't shot full power loads from it yet, but the warm Blue Dot loads didn't leave a smile on the cases nor a bulge. The rifling is another matter, I wouldn't mind being able to shoot lead, but most of what I shoot is plated bullets.I have a 44 magnum , but I am thinking about getting a 10mm . I don’t live in bear county , but I did have something big stalk me out of the woods one day while hunting . This was during muzzleloader season . After that is when I bought my Redhawk . Having 7 rounds made me feel better than 1 . Think the 10mm would be more useful and easier to carry than my Redhawk . I would use it as a nightstand gun and woods gun and I could put a light on it . I was looking at the Glock 20 , but I want to reload a lot of lead for it and take it up the top of the load chart , so I am thinking XDM now for the fully supported barrel and traditional rifling .
This is my choice for the woods. P220 SAO 10mm. I like the caliber a lot and am actively looking for a G20. I'll bring it to the Bbq and you can try it out.As the OP of this thread, my original intent of the title of OUTDOORSMAN CHOICE was as a defensive knockabout sidearm for use while scouting, fishing, timbering, hiking, hunting backup, guide gun... etc.
Much carried, seldom used.
I know many of us hunt with handguns, is that your gun of choice for hiking and trailcamming, and other off-season woods bumming?

I'm still not convinced that my 1911 commander isn't pretty well suited for this role for me. I like the s/a trigger and convenient reloading, and 8+1 capacity. Slim carry, even iwb carry if I'm in a public area.
The drawback is weight. Some of the polymer guns would be lighter.

A 1911 is better suited than your average polymer framed service auto. Hell, I've used them for the field. Better sights, trigger and accuracy. Unless we're talking the great bears of the north, the only thing the .45ACP is really lacking is range.I'm still not convinced that my 1911 commander isn't pretty well suited for this role for me.

Probably find they're only lighter when they're empty. A lightweight Commander or Officer's is a pretty tidy package.The drawback is weight. Some of the polymer guns would be lighter.
