[QUOTE="jej, post: 1225610, member: 5563"] .357 is OK for everything this side of a grizzly. .44 magnum is better, but heavier to haul around. I carry the .44 in pig country, if there is a chance I will get a shot at one. Any quality double action revolver with a 4 inch bbl will do fine. If you are backpacking and really counting the ounces, a J frame or SP101 snubby will do. I prefer Rugers. I also prefer stainless for back country use for obvious reasons. You can make the case that single action will do the job. I prefer double action, since I am thinking of the pistol as a self defense weapon and rapid reloading counts. Think about how you will carry. With a CCW, you can hang a "Safepacker" from "The Wilderness" on most any pack or pistol belt, have quick access and good protection for your piece. jej [/QUOTE]
