I have been asked a number of times what the perfect woods gun would be and would it be adaquate for self defence.
My personal choice is a Beretta 950 Minx in 22 short caliber. This gun is small and light enough to carry constantly in a shirt pocket. I never leave home without it. Now there have been some who question the stopping power of this round but in the only instance I have had to use it it worked just fine...
My Brother in Law and I were hiking in the Big Horns and somehow we got between a mama griizzly and her cub. She came charging out of the brush and I wipped out my little Beretta and with one shot I solved the problem. I shot my brother in law in the knee cap and walked calmly to safety.
The 22 short IS a woods gun.
