The 38 is for the wife I was looking at the bodyguard. She shoots well but in the shite I figure lazer and light just point pull trigger. No slide clip or saftey yo worry about. She would do well with a larger gun I'm sure so in all its up to her. She shot a 44 black hawk no problem and she's 115 lbs. But will she shoot a 45 per say enough to know the gun inside and out...who knows. Right now she sleeps with an 835 moss Turkey sight buckshot.. I gotta scream to her every time I come home early lol.. as for the 10 its not for hunting as much as it is defense. NOT TO GET INTO THE BEAR DEBATE But I have no faith in spray, I'm sure it works great on a bear in a corn pile or one walking by but the one if ever it happens that decides your done goes into charge mode pepper wont cut it in my book.. Ive seen 10 rnds of 200+ hardcast 10 mm put a face size hole through concrete blocks. So when I make my way north I can fish or bowhunt with comfort. The reason I like the glock is concealment and functionality. There ugly as sin and I never thought I would buy one till I shot one. Anyway I do plan on reloading eventually I was given the press when my parents moved to FL. (Big mistake pops had to get a new one now that he's hog crazy). I just don't have time to play with it right now. When that time comes ill be back here looking for teachers in the ringwood area.

The 610 is a fantastic platform if you are looking to handgun hunt only. I take it from your comments your looking for a SD/Woods gun... and i stated my opinion. Heck that is why I bought my first G20 to go fly fishing in bear country... a trip that never happened.

 

I used to hunt grouse in the N Ga / NC / Tenn mountains. Rough terrain, lots of up and downs and rhodedendron thickets that soar like cathedrals over your head. Everyone once in awhile you would come across unintended visitors in those thickets... deer, turkeys, hogs and black bears. Even wild dogs ...

 

I started carrying a sidearm after my old setter chased a black bear into it's den and i realized that two tubes of #6 would do nothing to help a bad situation. So I walked around with a Colt Combat Commander a few times, then a M19 .357. Both guns were heavy and dragged down any belt holster over a period of hard hiking. I finally went with the G20 after wearing it around a few times. Comfort, security and durability needs were all met.

Point taken thanks
