I carry 10mm because reasons. Probably overkill, but I don't care.

10mm is fine. 357 mag would be great too.
I could make do with a 9mm too |

.45-70 is what you seek.

They have mountain lions so, something like a .44.
But, snakes are more prevalent so something in a shotgun caliber. This may be the perfect use for a Judge, 50/50 loadout. |

Depends on where... northern AZ....a 10mm G20 fits the bill nicely. Down south on the border...I’d go with a G17 or G19x and a few spare G18 33rnd mags.
Oh...and whatever you carry...load the damn mag all the way to capacity... https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/09/dean-weingarten/a-new-mexico-bear-attack-finally-stopped-by-a-glock-10mm-pistol/ |

Any handgun stops most bear attacks, even 9mm ETA when I was hiking in Arizona this fall I carried a 9-Round 9mm loaded with 147Gn HST and one spare mag.  Attached File |

No real reason beyond 9mm. Other than you being a bit of a puss puss and not regularly carrying .40..

Cheap used .40S&W.
The guns are built right, they have little value, and the cartridge works. |

9 mm is fine in 99 % of situations in the lower 48
heck a 22 would probably be fine and definitely better than nothing |

That’s what I usually do. 180 gr HST for the street and 200 gr hardcast for the trails. |

Police trade in G22 or M&P 40.
Great trail guns that can handle warm .40 rounds. |

Fish might be a cunt.
Jus' sayin;.  ETA-OP, 10mm is fine, but a NAA mini revolver with .22WMR rat shot solves your most immediate threat. Snek.

Anything. The only time I’ve had a hairy situation was with tweakers, not animals....I feel just fine with a G23 with 180gr XTP, but would be equally ok with any high cap 9. Weirdos are way more of a potential threat than bears or cougars.
