Where I am from, we have feral very VERY large hog, and they will kill and eat you just as surely as any wolf or little wolf, and folk get wise very quickly to carry a sidearm, whether a cap and ball during muzzleloader season, or centerfire the rest of the time.
To bring the thread full circle, that Pedersoli double at the very front of thread is used with the belt holster by quite a few muzzleloading hunters as both a finisher and backup in the woods, as the TC is a lightning reload in comparison to Ole Sue Betsy. The thing has actual use.
