So, sometimes, while camping and "blue line" trout fishing in near-alpine environments, one might happen upon various dangerous critters. In Colorado, they generally range from black bear, cougar, potentially wolves etc.
My .357 Highway Patrol is beautiful and accurate, but is heavy at 41 ounces. The cartridge might be about right though with 158 grain hard slugs.
What are other good choices in this caliber? I've seen the SP101 at 27 ounces and would be willing to take the recoil hit when carried in such duty. Any other recommendations? Not too interested in bigger calibers or hunting with the pistol. The gun needs to be light enough to carry all day.
