Check your laws. I'm not going into the woods without one anymore.

Great pistol.......heavy and blocky and a pain in the arse to carry but super reliable and easy to use. Fairly accurate too.

You'll get tired of carrying it. It will be more of a hassle than it's worth unless you have bigfeet or crack dealers in your woods.

With that being a little on the big side, make sure you have a quality & comfortable holster, or it will get tough to carry often.

That's a nice pistol. A buddy bought one at the end of last year and just sold it last week. He does that all the time. I would have bought it if he'd told me about it. He buys a gun shoots it a little bit then sells it to buy something else. He lost 200.00, but that's just what he like to do.

bigger than most that's why I picked a gun that only needsone shot to stop most anything and from what I've been told it will stop it. Like being hit by a train.

I think it's just time to get used to it. My brothers been carrying one for years and recommended a Don Hume jlt side holster. It's not just for myself but the protection of others.

I hunt in many places and often unfamilar to me.
