Going on a very back country bow hunting trip in Idaho with lots of mileage on foot planned on very tough terrain, light and fast is highly preferred. Ill be carrying bear spray and spicy Underwood ammo hardcast rounds in whatever chassis I choose. Given snub barrel on the airlite and +p in the 9mm and close to full size barrel, I suspect similar penetration/lethality.
Hoping we can skip beyond the 10mm and other chassis convo's, not going to be buying another gun. That being said which are you carrying for a week of packing a ton of stuff in the back country? Extra firepower but extra weight in the 9mm or recognizing you have bear spray and a reliable wheel gun saving lbs and ounces where you can in your loadout?
-12oz S&W PD .357 5 rnds loaded 14oz
-21oz G19 +P 9mm 15 rnds loaded 28oz
