I recently did about 30 miles over three days, with about a mile & a half of elevation gain, carrying an LCP 22. I went with the LCP due to weight & attire concerns, but by the second day I realized I would have been fine with my edc Shield 9.

My girlfriends lcr 357What's a light weight, but not tiny sized, centerfire pistol suitable to carry for defense against wild animals, feral or rabid dogs, wolves or mountain lions?
Gun MUST be light... when hiking 10 miles up and down hills, every ounce counts.
Gun need not be small... it should have a decently long barrel and sight radius.
No snubby revolvers.
No pistols weighing 30 oz. or more.
16 oz would be nice.
What's on the market that fits these criteria?
The 357 lcr upper is 1/2 steel compared to the other calibers that are aluminum. We’ve been to the farm 4x last yr. Each time at 9’ she put 5 rds.of 110 gr. hp 357 in the siloette with temp pain but she said np if she has to use it. Trigger is butter vs.the 642. Not a range toy but if she misses the fireball will scare even Bigfoot.Ever shot it with 357? Trust me it will become your least favorite gun after about three rounds.
The polymer frame and the Hogue grips on the LCR make it just about the only lightweight 357 you can actually shoot enough to practice with.
