I carry several different ones. My favorite is the 4 inch 357 Mag. followed by the Ruger 45 Auto and 9MM. Outdoor use, the Taurus Ultralite 44 Mag with 300 Grain LBT type bullets. For home defense with that gun, I use 200 Gr Speer Gold Dot 44 Special loads. I have one left to buy which will be my summer carry, the Mountainlite 357 Mag from S&W.
