woods handgun

Mine is a Smith model 57; .41Mag that I load with .41 Specials as well.

I've taken many hogs with this wheel gun and absolutely love the caliber as well.

Taurus Judge Magnum


It can chamber/fire both .45 Long Colt and .410 Bore 3" Shotshells in its massive cylinder, making it extremely versatile and capable of dealing with practically anything one might encounter in the woods.

Without having to justify it,"Just cuz" My Ruger Blackhawk 44 spl Lipsey Special" 4 5/8 in Bisley.

No doubt a case can be made for a Glock 20,etc. I can't argue.

The single action wheel gun just feels familiar. It will do.

Its NOT my civilization carry choice.

NAA Black Widow in .22 WMR. First round is snake shot, the rest are Speer Gold Dots. I also bring the spare .22 LR cylinder and some super-quiet Colibri ammo for plinking.

I do have a s&w 617 6 inch, and a gp100 4 inch, but they’re both heavy for lugging around in the woods all day. I carry my lcp or pico when on the trails, nice and light/concealed. I have been looking at the Charter Arms Bulldog classic maybe for a woods gun for the future.
