in the woods i carry a charter arms buldog 44 special every other round has bird shot, the rest are 240 hollow points covers both end of the spectrum
I hunt with my sidearm alot. Colt python .357. If I carry that I usually do not carry a rifle. I also carry it exclusivley checking stands and cameras.
Bersa Thunder .380 is my woods sidearm. Only use it for snakes or to have in the event that my .50 muzzleloader doesn't kill with one shot, although I haven't had thathappen yet. If I have to trace a blood trail and find the deer still alive then a quick headshot from my .380 should do the trick. I had to shoot a doe once in the head with a .243 I was shooting for that reason. So I carry just in case.
I haven't had any issues with crack heads on the private lands I hunt. But I guess it's better to have and not need than the other way around! :gangsta
I carry a Taurus Judge PD Poly. In my opinion, it can handle 4, 2 and no legged critters extremely well depending of your ammo choice.
I personally think they are overrated
Agree
the judge's are too big imo for what you get.
Agree that they are big, but what is "too big" depends on how you usually carry.
Comparisons of PD Poly and Springfield Armory XD40 Subcompact:
I never feel better armed than with the 45 acp, but it's big and heavy, the 38 snubbie air wt is too small/light, the 357 short bbl is just right for size/wt and potency, has 6 shots and is currently at the smith getting a fiber optic front sight blade that I can hopefully see esp at dawn/dusk. it's nice to have a choice depending on my mood/conditions etc. you do have a large selection of shot/slug/buckshot in 410 with the judge. I've never handled a poly one. how many rounds in it 4 or 5 and app wt loaded?
