Best Outdoor Handgun?

I like the ruger blackhawk convertible in the same caliber but I think yours is better desu

I just love the fact that hand loading manuals have a "blackhawk only" section

How outdoors are we talking?
My bring it hiking but don't lug around a brick gun is a 3" S&W model 60 pro 5 shot 357 mag. I have buffalo bore 180gr hard casts for it. They hurt a little but I could probably shoot 3 of them before crying like a baby.

Glock 20 long slide with bufflo bore rounds. That's enough firepower to put fear into any skinwalker.

Like another anon said, how outdoor are we talking? Are you ultralite backpacking, hunting, being a hermit in the middle of assfuck Mongolia? Taffin has his "perfect packin' pistol" for these situations, but there are like two dozen that he likes for the job. If you have a chance of encountering big game I'd go for .44 magnum class power assuming you can handle it, but if you don't need that kind of power a .357 is mighty fine. If the biggest animal you're likely to encounter is a person then a 9mm is even better, but a .22 will serve the purpose.

If you're looking for versatility I'd go big, you can load it down if you need to. Loading a small gun hot can become a false economy.

ruger redhawk .45ACP/.45 Colt for bears

Get the 3.5" version

>>35162456
When people advise these as bear guns i have to wonder, with the size and handling characteristics of these guns, why not just get a carbine or a shotgun?

>>35161895

would a .357 be good enough for black bear?

The whole point of a handgun is that you sacrifice power and round count for convenience anyway, so why bother?
