Currently i carry a snub .38, but now that bears have been spotted literally where we camp/ride i think i wanna get something more.
Obviously my 12ga is ideal but not exactly easy or legal to pack on the quad.
Im leaning .357 so i can use my stash of .38 for plinking, but ive also been thinking of a .44mag.
Whats your guys opinions? No i dont want a semiauto, just not my tastes.
Yes also have bearspray, shooting it would be a total last resort, and these are blackbears, im not super worried but i really dont wanna wake up to one chewing my leg off.
So basically....woods/trail gun....357 or 44mag?
Or should i just get a longer barrel .38 and call it good?
