I go into the mountains of VA and PA somewhat often. I know there are bears where I go, because some of the places are only open in bear season. There are snakes and such too. I am looking for a handgun that I can carry that will be good for everything. I was leaning towards a 9mm for subsonic and hideability but now thinking I would benefit from more power. Not necessarily The Judge but maybe a step between. Also open to things like AR pistol, or SBR, or anything that qualifies as a handgun for carry.
I'm interested to hear what folks suggest.
