I recommend a stainless H&K USP 45

Ruger P345 is about as comfortable as it gets, other than a 1911.
If I wan't a 1911 fan I might be convinced to buy one.

If polymer is what you want, the M&P in 45 is a good choice
Glock 21sf, if you want untouched reliability.
Agreed. If you want this gun for wilderness carry, you want to know with 100% certainty that there will be a boom when you pull the trigger. The M&P45 is a good choice as well, but not enough of a history of absolute reliability to stake your life on just yet. Give it another year or two...
The HK45 or USP? meh. Great guns for sure, but for what the OP wants, there is really no additional payoff for the extra cost over a Glock 21SF. Plus Glock spare mags are everywhere for under $50. HK mags? If you can find them, expect to pay through the arse...
lol ya if you win the lottery. I just sold my G21SF and im regretting it already, looking for a new one as i type this.
being light weight is almost of the most importance after reliability which is number one. If I survive my situation of a downed aircraft I will gladly by a new one.
I could try to argue for a 10 mm but a 45 acp will leave a bigger hole every single time.
For some professions under very strict circumstance you could argue and reason why a .45 acp in a polymer is better. I could never argue with a 1911 in full stainless. My number 1 argument is weight, and size, and round capacity.
In Ontario smallest is .357 Magnum but I am pilot, and weight, size, are a big down side to a revolver. i rather take my chances with a 45 acp because I most likely will not carry my revolver every time due to it being a pain in the ash. Plus a .45 ACP I am more proficient with. I rather unload 3 to 4 rounds in the skull or of the bear then miss once with a .44 mag. If your a prospector or work in the forestry industry, or anything by foot, you will never argue anything smaller then a .357 mag. Plus hearing damage with a .44 mag is much more then a .45 acp. No hearing no flying.
If anyone knows a revolver I can get with a restricted barrel that weights around 28 ounces, please let me know in .357 or 44 mag.

Depends on if hez in Griz country, but ya i agree. Id take a 460v if it was me. But he said polymer 45, so if thats the choice i say G21sf.
