And what if that thing stalking you is a deadly predator?
For me, that threat is wolves.
When Im out hunting whitetail deer, grouse, and other game in Minnesota, wolves are disconcertingly common.
Backpacking a compact, powerful gun like the SAINT Pistol in .300 BLK can be a life-saver.
For that reason, it can be tremendously valuable to backpack with something with more capacity and ft.-lbs.
This is the perfect argument for a firearm like the Springfield Armory SAINT .300 BLK Pistol.
Its compact enough for packing, but powerful enough to face down serious threats like these.
One of the advantages of an AR-style gun is that it is easily broken down, which can be very helpful if space is at a premium.
That will always serve as your fastest and most familiar line of defense.
Additionally, the .300 Blackout cartridge generates as much as 4X the ft.-lbs.
of energy as premium 9mm hollow-point ammunition.
Being alone and isolated in the wild means that you might have to face a deadly threat on your own.
And check that you have the right gear with you to ensure your safety.
just ensure you are up-to-date on all current laws.
If you see one wolf, it’s likely there are more nearby as they hunt in packs.
The .300 BLK gives you a lot more power out of the SAINT Pistol than would a traditional 9mm handgun.
