We're heading up to the NC Appalachians this weekend for some hiking and I figured I'd bring something along (always carry if you can...). Most of my hiking so far has always been down by the shore or in the local woods in central NC.
Given the area, any advice on what might be best (caliber wise)?
I'm trying not to bring anything too heavy/large so that discounted any duty sized guns. Also discounted snub .44s and .454s or a 1911 10mm (seems a little too much weight/caliber for the area) and the .380s since they're a little light on power for a hiking gun.
Options so far are as follows:
.357 (Sp101, LCR, M&P 360)
.45 (XDs-45/Officer 1911)
9mm (PM9, P938, Shield/9c, R9s)
.40 (EMP, PPS)
.357 Sig (P239)
I have snub .44s and .454s or a 1911 10mm but that seems a little too much weight/caliber for the area. I've also discounted the .380s since they're a little light on power for a hiking gun.
Thoughts?
