    We were shooting prairie dogs with mine when I went camping in NM last month. It is fun gun to shoot and surprisingly accurate consider the sights on it.

    Little guy didn't stand a chance.

                  I'm leaning more towards a stainless steel revolver right now, like the Ruger SP101. But the Glock 20/29 is right there with what I find perfect for a camp gun. Especially because of the ability to convert calibers. But I really want another revolver before a Glock unless the right deal comes along.

                  Although a Keltec Sub would be a perfect Camp Carbine I'm looking into a pistol first.

                    In all seriousness I would look at pistols chambered in 38super, 357sig and 10mm. In revolvers I'm really fond of k frame smiths, most notably the M19.
                    The 10mm would be the only caliber of the three you mentioned that I would be interested in. All three are hard to find calibers of ammo as I typically buy at my local Walmart (I do not think I've ever seen .38 Super at any Walmart's before).

                    Better than the glock (trgger, looks, feel) and same power as a .357....except you have 14+ in the mag
                    Sorry but don't really care for a Witness. At least not in a camp gun.

                    True and I already have one but it's not what I'm looking for. Can't really have one laying around while camping and hiking in a Texas State Park.

Its my throw in backpack, roll around under the jeep seat gun. I've only had it 4 months and fired around 150 rounds through it, but so far I have been pleased. Especially at $340.
                    Ya I remember when you posted that up. I'll have to go back and check it out. Where did you buy it?

                    Full or compact but definitely not sub-compact.

                    Again looking for a pistol and not a shotgun or rifle or carbine.

                    Exactly. And when I went camping last weekend at Possum Kingdom State Park we had the Ranger visit us four times

                      State Parks are where I typically go camping. But even in a national forest or something along those lines I'd want a pistol I can keep on me and concealed.

                      So you bought an old version of a gun you own so you didn't have to shoot the new one. Maybe it's me but that makes no sense. Maybe if you had some little edition/run pistol I could understand but it's just a USP.

                      Exactly. I would prefer something I could conceal. Out of sight out of mind.

                      LOL! I could only imagine what would happen if he got caught with a gun in the wrong situation.

                      I had no idea what that was until now. Not what I'm looking for right now but interesting.

                        Actually I would say any long gun will carry much less liability than any handgun, assuming it was open for discussion with a ranger. Especially given the possibility that anyone in the camp may actually pick it up or be in its proximity.

                        Grab a trapper's license for $15 for everyone to be sure though.

                            Good point about walking around with a scattergun......for some reason i was thinking you were just doing a by the lake campout....my bad.


                            As for pistols man, whatever feels really comfortable to you for extended periods of hiking, and also make sure it is one that you are completely comfortable with exposing to all sorts of nasty elements like mud, rain, etc. I prefer the stainless revolver like the Ruger you mentioned. Will never let you down and can take whatever you throw at it.


                            May God give us strength and courage in the time of our darkest hours.

                              Jose, it depends where you are going, what state, what wildlife are you scared of?

                              Sometimes you need a big hog leg, other times a little .22 revolver would work. Dont forget a 17 inch machete brings fear into peoples heads as well.

                                That's why I'm leaning towards right now, a Ruger SP101.

                                Like I mentioned, mostly Texas state parks. As far as wildlife, mostly two legged but on the four legged variety just things that might be found around here (which rules out bears). I would also be concerned for any animals that are rabied, and foxes, cougars, etc.
