I am looking into a hand gun for my wife to carry while hiking with the dog and I am working offshore. I fell like my 44mag is excessive w/ its scope and long barrel & same w/ the 50 AE and that my 1911 may be a little light on the knockdown energy side. (No I don't want to start another thread on whether or not 45 ACP is good for bear protection) I was thinking maybe a 357 mag then she could shot 38's out of it to practice and put Buff Bores in it while hiking... Any thoughts? Something light enough that she will not mind carrying it but low enough in kick for a 130lb woman to shot.
