I am looking for a decent beater gun for whenever I go camping and hiking. Shouldn't be too expensive since it's going to be tossed around, wet, and all that. I was thinking an RIA 1911 or some cheap .357. There are mountain lions where I camp and fish, so that's my main concern. Coyotes too, but I never had problems with those and they probably aren't as hard to kill. Any suggestions or opinions? All I have now is a makarov, a .22 pistol, and a kahr cw9.

Get a based hi-point 40
>>
>>34821524

Canik has cheap, decent 9mm's, which should be fine for mountain lions and coyotes. Or get a 10mm Glock 20. Not too pricey, lot of stoppin powah.

used glock 20. dat 10mm

You already have a decent beater gun

Take your truck gun and put it in your backpack and get going!

thats a nice ass

It kind of sounds like you want a larger round... consider a revolver.
>>
>>34821613
Well, he is a doctor...
>>
>>34822390
.357 was sort of mentioned.
>>
Hi-point or 1911, consider no other handgun outside of revolvers.

As for cheap 1911's, ATI, Citadel, and cimmerron are cheaper and come from the same manufacturer as the rock islands

On the off chance this isn't bait, what you want is a Glock 20.
If you're dead set on needing a bigger round (you don't), get a stainless wheelgun in your preferred meme caliber.
>>
>>34821524
Get one of those taurus smith clones in 44 or 357 or a used gp 100 for like 400-450.
>>
>>34823648
yeah g20 or 29, or look at the eaa witness 10mms. i'd say get a 29. i have a 20 and it's a bit of a porker. still my favorite gun.
>>
>>34823832
>get a taurus
anon, you should be ashamed. things to worry about with 357 and up: if it's lightweight (alloy) you can get crimp jump (go for all steel), two, you need at least a 6 inch barrel for velocity
>>
>>34821559
hipoint should make that trigger guard bigger, put an actual trigger on it, and double stack that bitch already.
>>
>>34823879

Old Taurus wheelguns from back when they copied S&W are pretty decent.

t. 689 owner who doesn't even really like revolvers.
>>
>>34823879
4 inches is fine. Plus like the other anon said, older ones are fine, and made on old smith tooling.
>>
I have been looking at the $350 ati 1911 military 45s. I mean a 1911 for that price. How can i say no
>>
>>34823890
So you are talking about a SCCY?

My Walther PPS is my camping/hiking gun. It's lightweight enough, and for innawoods predators, you don't need much. Pic related
>>
>>34821524
I have a RIA 1911 and it's nice. I once killed a wild hog with it lol
>>
>>34821524
Why not an lcp?

It's my pack gun, it's tiny and lightweight and it will make anything I need to make sad, sad enough.
>>
>>34821524

w-whats with that grip angle?
>>
>>34822380
Jury is still out on that one. Guess it depends on what you consider nice
>>
>>34823648
Mountain lions aren't Moose retard, nor are the larger ones the ones likely to cause trouble. That's the realm of sick one or young ones out on their own for the first time

>>34827799
are those gonna be beat to shit?

very tempting just to have a cheap beater glock
>>
>>34824004
Just so you know, the cheap 1911's are not milspec like most of the major brands. Stuff like the sights may be proprietary, new grips might need a little work to fit, and some internal parts may also be proprietary.
>>
>>34827001
What do you mean? Have you never seen a 1911 before?
>>
>>34831023

i have but it seems like alot
>>
>>34831067
By "alot" do you mean exactly the same as every other 1911?

bolice surplus with maximum holster wear for minimum price
>>
>>34829411
LEO guns tend to be great deals

>cops rarely shoot at range, so interior is fine
>major cities have armorers for repair, so well maintained

At worst the finish has holster wear. SOG has used Berettas for like 300ish if you prefer steel.

Yes handguns only. Easier to carry around when I go camping and stuff. I can also just holster it and keep it out of the way when fishing. Otherwise, yeah a shotgun would be my first choice.

>>34821524
Nothing in the lower 48 is very dangerous at all. The only danger is with mountain lions that you don't see, so it wouldn't matter which gun you had.

Arm yourself for the two legged threats that you would find in the city. Backwoods meth heads are far more dangerous than any critter your likely to find innawoods. If a "woods gun" gives you a special feel then get what your heart desires. .357 and .45 hardcast wil do the job.. hell, hardcast .380 and 9mm should do fine as well
>>
>>34829411
new barrels are cheap.

This. Get a Smith or a Ruger wheelgun. They're a bit more pricey, but both brands are built so retard stronk that they'll stand up to years of abuse.
>>
>>34821524
hi-point, they cost $150 and shoot cheap 9mm
