the question should be for where you are back packing what are the
threats/needs for a weapon? if you want it just for "in case" just get an
inexpensive .38 to strap on your hip and get some incendiaries rounds for
it. If theres an actual possible threat as far as animals then go with the
appropriate shotgun since you would not be shooting too far and it
eliminates the problem nicely, even if you miss!
Thats my 2 cents,

Did you boys hear about the grizzly that someone shot in,
Alaska(?) I think?...bugger weighed around 1800 pounds. Supposed
to be the biggest Grizzly in the world. Had eaten two guys before
someone shot it with a 7(?)MM rifle. I have horrible pix
