They've tore up my one 85 lb Lab and he luckily got away. Couple of hundred bucks at the vet to stitch him up. I wouldn't fiddle with a hand gun, I'd be looking at a .223 or .22-250 for longer ranges or a 12 gauge with 00 buckshot for up close and personal.

I think Savage still makes rifle /shotgun combo's in 223/243x 12 gauge. Throw a shoulder strap on and your ready for a walk.

The other option I use when its completely dark is to carry my training/starter pistol. Soon as I hear them fire off a couple of blanks. Must do some good as usually a couple of minutes later will hear them calling each other to regroup.
