Thanks for all your replies; they have given me more info to research and I learn about through "hearing" your exchanges. Having 2 pistols might be the way to go....BTW, it would be black bear country I am in, Northern MN. I live in MPLS but run up North in Duluth area on trails too regularly.
But about the availability of the smallish .380's? I am having trouble finding a new or used pistol that will be a good running pistol. Seems they are scarce as 'hens teeth' right now. I have my name in for a new/used at a local gun store and have 2 licensed firearms guys looking for me too. No luck in the past months in coming up with a .380 lightweight.
Any thoughts?
