May 2016

in Grizzly country I recommend something big. Before CCW was more liberalized, when I was a kid, I know of several women who worked around the truck stops and oil field bars to carry .25s, illegally, at the time. They figured the couple of hundred dollar fine was worth the risk. When hiking, I usually have a Walther P22. I think a Ruger Bearcat would be a better trail gun. I like single action revolvers. I have been pondering dumping my LC9 for a DA revolver as a carry.
