Mostly a Colt 44 magnum. I re-load ammo for it. I have others that are a little smaller though. I like to ride up some of our paved canyons. We do have problems with cougar and bear. When I hike in the mountains the 44 has come in handy many times. I have never had to kill one of these animals, but that gun has a loud bark and has scared them away. We also have problems with farrell dogs packs killing deer and pets. The Brits have a different history than ours and I respect their feelings about guns, just as long as they and the U.N. don't force their beliefs on us. I am a competitive rifle and pistol shooter. It's odd, but I have many friend that go to England to compete in the long range matches at Bisley. They tell me the Brits are excellent shooters.
