Other than the long guns, what would be a good side-arm to go along with them? I'm not a big fan of hearing loss so lets try to get something that I can still hear the birds sing after I shoot it. The desert eagle 50 cal? no thats to expencive and got a little to much @$$ for me. I was thinking the 45-70 or 444 with a 41 rem mag as a backup? I want a handgun that is comfortable to shoot more than one that leaves a big hole. Something more along the lines of a gun to plunk around with and to finish game off if need be to save a big bore bullet. Like the 45 cal, That might be good?
