What are you guys carrying into the woods?
I like to carry my 10mm Kimber.

Re: Woods gun
Depends on what I'm in the woods for.
Most times though, one of my .44's is either with me or on me. We've got plenty of bears and more cougars than we want, so being properly armed makes sense, even more so than being "street armed" for the two - legged predators. And there's always a chance at a wily coyote too.
Another one was added recently, a Winchester M92 Octagon .44; a pure joy to pack in the timber.
But if I was wanting to carry a 1911 while out in the outback, it would be a Kimber 10mm too. Excellent choice!

Re: Woods gun
I used to have a 94 in 44-Mag. I really like it but on occasion when chambering a round, the cartridge would flip and do a 180 and it could be bugger to get it out. Since then I have procured me a couple of 94 Winchester Wrangler [32-Special] and 38-55 [Wrangler II]. But for a handgun, its either my 629 Classic, Glock-20 or S&W 1006.
