It's not often these days that I am out in an area where there is any threat at all other than human or canine, so my carry choice is usually .38 Spl +P, 9mm or .45ACP, in that order. On those rare occasions when I am in an area where more than one bear has been alleged to have been sighted within the last two decades, I usually carry a *** x" M*** loaded with ********** *********s in a DeSantis OWB holster, although I know that only my A5 with Brenneke's gives the least chance of survival. Of course, a belt revolver is probably sufficient to repel allegations, if not boarders, so I don't feel all that uncomfortable.
