Snub is only good if you're trying to hide it.

The most important thing is to have a pistol that you are confident you can hit your target with.

The second most important thing is to have a caliber that begins with a four

I'm in AZ, and have heardtoo may stories about attacks from both animals and our friends who are visiting illegally from the south to head dozens of miles off the road without a hip-piece.
Bullhockey. I bet you can't find me 2 stories in the papers from the past year and none of them happened to hunters in AZ. LOL If you want a gun, buy it. The border crossers aren't out to kill you. LOL

If your down to choosing between the Rossi and Taurus, I'd get the Taurus. I can't believe you wouldn't be able to find a used S&W in good shape that would be in your range though.

9mm = deadly accurate = one shot, one kill + bigger capacity of rounds = more unfriendlies dead = you alive.

Also

.45 = dead animal at close range to knock the wind out of them.

Get both and choose your weapon wisely.

Happy hunting

P.S. Hopefully you are not a crazed gunman, we have too many of those these days. [:@]

glock model 27 or 23. they are both .40cal. i carry a mod 27 as a back up weapon at work and it easily conceals on an ankle, belt or should holster. the 23 is slightly bigger but still smaller than the mod 22 which is the model that most police officers carry on duty. the gun is simple reliable and affordable.

In New York you can not carry a firearm in archery season. But I would get a .357.

Oh believe me, I take everything I hear with a grain of salt, HOWEVER, almost everyone I've talked to that goes deep into the country like myself carries a sidearm. I personally hate guns, but like the old saying goes, "I'd rather have it and not it need it....."

Not legal to carry here either, but if I ever change my mind about following rules I've got a 9mm Styer and a Ruger .357 I'd probably carry the 9mm, more rounds, more concealable. That .357 packs a punch tho, even if you miss, bet the sound of that cannon would make anyone on the wrong end of the barrel stain his shorts.
