I have that same double-nine in chrome. Great pistol. Also have an xd .40.

Great choices to have.

Never

Sidearm on my person EVERYTIME I leave the house & always while hunting.

Yeh buddy, I have two old Double 9's that are blued (well, I bought one for my oldest daughter). Great shooters and light weight.

Let me know if you ever want to sell yours!

Because of all the problems on the border, we were advised to not leave the house without with less than two guns, a rifle and pistol. Hate that it's come to this.

Yes, & had one tail me in the dark too. And had one harrowing encounter with a Mountain Lion on a fresh kill. And, a surprise meeting with a pack of hogs. That is why I never ever go afield without my 1911 45 Super.

Runnings has bolts, (crossbow) with lighted notch...
Beem using them for a few years... it kinda like shooting tracers, for that reason....

looks pretty @ night....

I keep a 1911 on the tractor when out working on the property, but never carry a pistol while rifle hunting. I work off of the theory that in a bad situation my pistol is there to get me to a rifle.

3 shots where I'm at will likely only get applauded by anyone who hears it, the assumption being that you might have killed more than one pig.

I always have my Ruger P90 45 on my hip when hunting
Not an expensive pistol, but for what it is, it's a great pistol, and goes bang when I want it to lol

I took 20 dollars from a guy at the range once upon a time...I was shooting a Ruger P90 and he was shooting a Gold Cup.

It is not a concealment piece, but that P90 was one of the most accurate .45 ACPs I have ever owned.

A good solid handgun.

I have the 9mm version P95 and it’s also a solid shooter. I’ll never part with it.

I feel the same about my P90
I will never get rid of it

As old as I am the only sidearms are in the truck, kubota or mule. I don't need to pack around any extra weight.

You did continue on reading to where you got to the part that said he gave up and spent the rest of the night looking for his " ARROWS", right ??

i've periodically carried a .22 pistol in a backpack but its only seldom that i've ever had any real use for it and it generally is just something else to carry. speaking for myself...i'm a poor shot with a pistol, i just don't practice much. so anything that i would shoot with it would need to be close and not moving. Its been very rare that i've encountered the situation that i've wounded an animal that was so nearly dead/disabled that i would have had enough confidence to approach it with the sidearm instead of just shooting again with my hunting rifle.

something i do with more frequency is carry a 22. rifle with me. although this is really cumbersome to carry two rifles. its handy though for shooting at hogs without making as much noise. Its not effective for killing them unless you just really get them close, but sometimes you do and the rest of the time its sufficient just to run them off so that the deer might come out.

yes i Carry all the time mostly for them dang rattle bugs at lease

If hunting out west for lion, I carry my Ruger Single Seven in 327 Federal Magnum because it is smaller and lighter weight than my Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum. The Single Seven has factory iron sights which I love while the Super Blackhawk is topped with a Trijicon RMR.
When calling fox, I prefer the Ruger Single Nine or the Ruger 57. The little grays are a pretty challenging target if they are nervous.
Adios,
Gary

Muzzleloader yes.

If I was bow or crossbow hunting yes

hunting with my AR no

bolt action maybe but probably not in most situations like sitting in a blind

Virtually never see one in the shop for repairs either, any of the P Rugers. And never saw a FTF on the range with one either. Tanks, but reliable.

I seldom carry two guns while hunting. For specific reasons, I might carry a Ruger Mk II 22 in my pack on occasion. I do have a beater Sig P228 that I'll carry if not carrying a rifle while filling feeders, working, etc.

I never carry a pistol when I am hunting.

^^^^^^^
This.

Just the rifle when hunting.

Always.
