There are a lot of "Right" answers to this.

.40S&W. lots of mountain lions and smaller Mexican grey wolves, but no griz or grey wolves in my parts. Don't forget the tweakers.

 :yeah:
I carry a .357 daily and switch over to the hard cast for the woods simply because I don't have a better option.  I would carry a .44 if I had it.
