This looked like a great product -Just take note that most states do not allow for anything bigger than a .45 caliber pistol. –Clark
 
Big-Bore Sidearms For Sportsmen
These new heavy-hitting high-tech revolvers provide serious outdoorsmen with the security of a powerhouse backup sidearm.

Hunting handguns and hunters' handguns are not necessarily the same thing. A hunting handgun is what a handgun hunter uses as his primary game-taking tool. Something like a scoped big-bore single-action revolver, a long-barreled single shot, or a bolt-action pistol.

S&W's new Emergency Survival kits include sidearms plus emergency tools in a waterproof,floatable case.

A hunters' handgun is what a rifle hunter or shotgun hunter carries as a sidearm to supplement or serve as a crisis backup to their primary hunting gun. Even handgun hunters carry such companion sidearms--as do smart fishermen and backpackers in bear country.

Of course, small and lightweight .22 rimfire or .32/.38-caliber centerfire "kit gun" revolvers have long been popular as hunters' belt guns. But here I'm talking about something different. I'm talking about serious, powerful, backup and point-and-shoot survival tools, where a .357 Magnum is the absolute minimum and the maximum is as much as you can handle.
