I bought a G40 and put a Burris FF3 on it for woods carry in a chest holster.
I hate to say this, but my Ruger Blackhawk .357 custom gun does not get used much anymore.
Having 16 rounds of 10mm vs 6 of .357 is nice, in a just-in-case type situation.
The presence of cartel type drug operations here in Idaho has dramatically increased in the last few years, and encountering one is not something I want to do.
I used to carry just a .22 1911 and a .22 rifle when out shed hunting or just wandering about.
Now, I carry the G40 a d maybe a rifle, such as my 1895 45-70, or the .12 GA with buckshot and slugs.
I do get some odd looks from the tree hugger hikers, and questions about why the artillery.
But after explaining that after 32 years as a cop, they either walk away shaking their heads, or they ask questions about what they should carry.
