What pistol do you carry when hiking?Caliber?

Depends, usually a Sig 226 with 3 spare mags but every once in awhile I will break out the 1911 and a couple of spare mags.

If I am hiking around here I also take the M4 with me.

My XD45 tactical mostly. I love my 1911's, but for the same weight I can carry 13+1 in the XD, and not worry as much about the finish...

I haven't done much outdoors since I got my G19, so I may use that going forward. But I confess I do feel reassured with 230gr solutions...

+1.

My 1911 is 40oz unloaded. My FNP 45 is 29 oz unloaded. The FNP holds 15+1 compared to the 1911 7+1. The FNP is all stainless and plastic. The 1911 is all steel.

The FNP is far and away the better choice for a woods gun. For that matter, I carry it everyday too. Why not have lighter weight and more capacity?

Indeed, and i would keep my word. But... I'm running into problems with this, everytime I click the buy or bid links, it just sends me back to a profile page for myself. Guess there's more here that I need to figure out before I can get into it... probably a good thing, there is too much temptation here, lol.

But no more than the Davidson's site, where I have bought before. Just gotta figure out the new one here.
