The times are changing. So many states that once poo-pooed the carrying of personal defense firearms while hunting (especially bowhunting) now have wording in fish and wildlife regs explicitly allowing you to carry. Many of today's hunters take full advantage of that—me included. When I head to the woods, I typically carry openly. I like a big gun in a comfy holster. Here in the Ozarks, that’s usually a Walther PPQM2 .40 in a Crossbreed Super Slide holster. With that holster, the leather backs the grip of the gun and keeps it from digging into my sideparts—aka, muffin top—while sitting in a treestand. I like the Walther because it fits in my hand perfectly, I can shoot it fast, and get it back on target quickly. It has good sights—important for an outdoors gun—but it’s also well balanced. That’s important for any defensive gun because it makes point shooting, something you should be practicing, much easier. Photo by John Hafner
