Wise idea. The 4" is what I take to Ak and it packs a lot easier than a 6". I carry mine is a nylon Uncle Mikes holster with a retaining strap and a separate nylon belt. It has been soaking wet several times and dried out by hanging in the cabin close-but not too close- to the wood stove. Lots of bears around the fishing spots I went to but thankfully, I never had to use it. A tip for you: those impressive looking jacketed hollow point 240 gr bullets might be honkey dorey for whitetails but if you have to use it on an alaska sized bear, it needs to be a cast flat noses (think SWC) of around 270 grs. The hardness should be about 12-13 Brinnell Hardness. Too hard and they might shatter on bone. Good luck on your trip, do you have a guide? Apologize for the hijack.
