[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2013477, member: 1132"] I don't do much woods or ranch work these days, but when I did it was a S&W 629 Mountain Gun in a Bianchi 111 Cyclone holster. I usually wore it crossdraw. I could easily reach it under a coat or jacket and it was comfortable to wear on the tractor. The first round up was a CCI shotshell when working. I killed quite a few vermin with that round. The other 5 rounds would be CCI Blazer 200gr Gold Dot .44 Specials. Its a great SD load that clocks about 950fps out of a 4" barrel. I'd also have some 200gr RNLFP handloads in a 2X2X2 pouch. I used one of these to kill an alligator snapping turtle in one of my ponds that probably weighed 40-50 pounds. He came up right in front of me and took it right in the face. He was dead right there. When hunting I'd use the same gun loaded with Winchester 250gr Partition Gold ammo. The 629MG is a very versatile platform and barely weighs more than a K Frame .357. [/QUOTE]
