Selecting a gun for hiking

[@20Hikecdt23]

.22 pistol is good like a Ruger LCP UI in .23. Light n effective at the range the FBI crime statistics say most instances happen (1-6 ft).

[@Lightning77AThiker]

I finally settled on a LC9 since it fits in my hip belt pocket on my pack nicely. I think a Glock 30 should fit good also, plus it's a good excuse to buy another 🔫🇺🇲

Glock 26, KT PF9, Ruger LCR are my "go to" woods guns for day hiking in PA. Nice video.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

The LCR is also a favorite of mine. Damn good shooter!

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Thanks for the input. It worked out very well for me but it’s now sold. It was a nightmare to shoot. Next trip, we’ll see what I end up going with. I was glad I had it though. Piece of mind goes a long way.

I love the 26. It's my normal carry. I usually carry a 27 with FMJ for hiking in Maine.

[@johnochicago8457]

With the right holster a 686+ with a 4" barrel is carryable. I have several holsters that make it easy to carry. Inside the waist band is too heavy.

Dude, if you are that concerned about the weight of a buck knife and a 686 maybe you should stay home and go to the gym. You can let your boyfriend go on the hike instead. Jesus f-ing Christ!

[@Heywoodthepeckerwood]

I carry my N-Frame 8 shot 357 mag with a 5” brl IWB all the time. It does help that my ass is bigger around than my waist so my pants don’t try to fall.

[@johnochicago8457]

@@Heywoodthepeckerwood I use a Bigfoot Belt with several holsters but in the winter OWB but in the summer IWB but that gets old. I also carry a get off me gun in case we go to the ground and a Kershaw spring assisted knife as insurance. It is Chraq.....Things happen so fast.

[@OO-ce4qr]

What barrel has the 686 plus?

[@owentorres1203]

What do you guys think about the Taurus Judge for Woods carry I believe 4:10 would be good for small Pest control and 45 Long Colt would be good for Predators or a man threat

Dude! Great Vid! Just subscribed. Love you Trump gun mat! Where did you get? Make a review on that 😂! KAG2020

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Thanks! It was actually at my LGS.

[@aaronsbraga]

That cartoon is the closest trump has come to combat.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

No doubt!
