Glock 29 is too much recoil for a beginner. 44 magnum is better for bear defense. Accuracy is the most important thing. Got it!

Something to consider: If you've spent more than $5k on firearms/ammo, but don't have night vision or thermal capability, you may want to reconsider. Most problems happen in the dark, and a flashlight is like a bull's-eye. In most situations, I'd take one gun, 30 rounds, and a PVS14, over an...

Specifically, on the topic of "Legal Weapons and Overlanding" (not hunting or home defense), we are talking about only two things, a gun on your person, and/or in your truck/camper. When you are in the wilderness, you need something with you at all times (hiking, pooping, etc ;-), so I...

Google "OpSec" lol

Using lethal force to defend property used to be fine, even in California, but I'd be careful about that now. Many DAs have lost their minds.

No one has a problem with dialing 911,  so the issue is whether or not you want to be self-reliant.

I love the 1911 platform, and you can get it in 10 mm for bear defense, but I went with the Glock 20 because it's lighter, higher capacity, and shares the same magazines with my carbine.

I like my LC9 but it has no safety. I feel like the 1911, cocked and locked, is much safer. Since this is an overlanding forum, which to me means wilderness, I don't consider 9 mm or 45 ACP to be viable option.

No judgment. Those not comfortable carrying a gun should not carry a gun. I wish you the best of luck.

A wise man once said "it is better to kill a fly with a 10 mm, than to hit a bear with a flyswatter" ;-)

Glock 19's are adorable. lol #glock29 ;-)

Check out the APC 10 Pro. Patented hydraulic buffer. No recoil even in 10 mm. The full auto version is the first sub-gun to get a government contract since the grease gun in World War II.

I'm all about 2A rights. Anyone should be able to have any gun they want in their home, but the world would be a safer place if everyone who wanted to carry in public were required to pass a tactical shooting course.

Rifles and shotguns are awesome, but you're more likely to come across a bear while on a hike, then you are in camp.  The best gun is the one you have with you.

There are good arguments to be made for almost every type of gun, but it really comes down to this: the best gun is the one you have with you. You're not going to carry a rifle or shotgun when you go on a hike. You're not going to have a rifle or shotgun next to you when you're watching TV on...

I'm all in on 10mm. Glock 29 EDC with hollow points, Glock 20 in a chest rig with hard cast grizzly rounds, and a 10mm carbine with 60gr (2400fps) for longer shots. My favorite thing is that they all share the same mags, From 10, 15, & 30 round standard, up to 50 round drum. You made the right...

Check your local regulations on hunting with an air rifle.

 Round count is only half the story.  Anyone trying to decide between the two, find a range that rents both 44 magnum revolver, and Glock 20.  See how many rounds you can get on target in three seconds.  A significant amount of the recoil on semi automatic pistols is used to cycle the slide...

This guy killed this couple and buried them on the beach where they were camping in South Texas. If you are legally able, please consider getting some training and purchasing a firearm.

If you use hornet spray on a human, you'd better be prepared to prove in court that that was your only option. I'm much more afraid of lawyers than I am criminals.
