handgun for defense while hunting
All,
I am looking into pistols (difficult but not completely impossible here in Canada) for defense while in the bush... I am looking for something that has some serious stopping power...
I have been looking into the .44 mag due to a lack of short guns available... But i have been reading about the .454 (a variation of the .45??) and getting a little lost, as i can just go to the local shop and get a feel for the sidearm...
What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance for all your input!
Now i due understand that a pistol is not a great defense for bears... however i hunt on horses a good bit, and so far i have always been lucky with close encounters... but the thought of getting thrown and having no means of defense (other than a good knife) isnt high on my priority list!!
