I just picked up my 629 v-comp as my backup pistol for hunting.

What are you hunting?
It seems like overkill for jack rabbits.Frank

He said back up. As in hunting in the mountains and a bobcat or something attacks you. Kind of hard to defend yourself with a scoped rifle in that type of situation.
I use my XD45 now as my back up but want a wheel gun instead.

Nice lookin hand-cannon. Now go shoot it!"Then there are sheepdogs. The sheepdogs are the bastions of safety. The sheepdog lives solely to protect the flock and confront the wolf. They live for the opportunity to be called to duty to protect the innocent. The sheepdog has fangs and the propensity for violence but hopes that he will not have to resort to it. However, he lives for that day when he will be able to use his warrior skills and mindset to keep the wolf from harming the sheep."Comment

If carrying extra weight around makes you feel better, by all means, carry it. But, if you really think it'll do any good if you are actually being attacked, you might as well stay home and keep smoking your medicine. If you are really afraid of bobcats or mountain lions attacking you, just stay in town where you're more than 1000 times more likely to be killed by falling out of your own bed.
BTW, I know of this dude who hunts cape buffalo in Africa (you know, that place with really big kitty cats, crocs, hippos, mean cape buffalo, killer snakes, etc.) and doesn't carry a sidearm as a back up. But, he's a real hunter and has a pair of really big ones.Last edited by CSACANNONEER; 05-03-2012, 5:24 PM.NRA Certified Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor

Nice gun. I'm looking for a 629 comp carry but can't find anyone who still has them in stock. They may have stopped making that model ?Comment

Sure. I don't want to mess with it either. When I bought a new gun and hide it away from my House Cat otherwise she will get piss.
