In the south east as a "woods gun" I'll cary my smith 686. Historically I would cary a glock 23 or a 1911, sometimes still do. I honestly feel more need to worry about the people then animals. I've run into some absolute NUTs in surprisingly remote places. If I had my way I would just carry an AR10 shoulder slung but that's a bit harder to swing in more occupied areas. 

 

I was recently spending some time in Washington state and got introduced to the smith and wesson 500 mag. Which a buddy of mine carries for bears out that way. He convinced me I needed one but to be fair, that isnt a hard thing to do. 😅

In SE Okla I usually carry a Marlin .45-70 with hand loaded 350 grain bullets. During the day that is. At night I have a SCAR 17 7.62x51, 168 grains with a light in case things turn hairy. Always have a Glock 20 on my hip.

One day not long ago a fellow in the lane next to me at the range was playing with his AR carbine. It had a nice red dot sighting system, and I commented on it. He asked me if I'd like to try it. I politely declined, but then he told me that it was chambered in 10mm.

 

Well, that was a horse of a different color!

 

It was fun. A great shooter. If one likes carbines in handgun chambering, it would be an attractive one.

The S&W 460V or XVR may be the better option given it will fire .45 Colt and .454 Casull when you don't need as much bang. Can still get a whopping 1900fps/2885 ft lbs with 360 gr BB!
