I'd like something in the 4-5 inch barrel range. It'll be a couple months before I can purchase another pistol but I figured I'd try to find what I'm looking for then save up. No big animals aside from black bears (generally very passive) most honest concern would be snakes or feral aggressive dogs. I'd like to carry this one only while hiking or fishing but I'd also like a pleasant range pistol. Leaning towards .38/.357 due to ammo cost and availability. I feel a 38spl would be up to the job, I like the option of .357 but a .38 wouldn't be a deal breaker. So far I'm thinking either a model 19 or a 4" sp101, very open to other ideas. I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
