I watched to many western movies and found out that when you run out of bullets you can throw your sidearm at what ever you can't hit with the bullets..It's like 2 weapons in one....:D

I don't carry a pistol while hunting but I wouldn't mind. It's strickly for protection. You can't shoot a rifle fast enough when it's up close and personal.

My primary reason is that I hunt with a handgun

I like to hunt squirrels and deer with a handgun

If you you run out of bullets you can use it like a hammer
And beat the snot out of what you were shooting at ;)

Because I hunt in the highest population densityof g-bears in the lower 48 states. And I'm just not going to sit there and let one chew on me if in the very minute chance I get one irritated enough to jump on me.

had close encounters with mountain lions two archery seasons in a row and that made it an easy choice to get a .357 mag. and the bear population is increasing quite a bit where i hunt and at least one is a griz.
but if i run into that griz the pistol is probably gonna be more for me than the bear.
FMJ should be good enough for any skull in NA to 25yd. I hope. ;)
