[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2202436, member: 14204"] There is no such thing as a back-up sidearm during hunting season. [B]You may carry a handgun with you during the act of hunting for personal protection but that is the purpose.[/B] There is no specific requirement for a legal handgun for personal protection (barrel length or caliber) except that it is in legal possession of the person under Colorado Law. The use of a handgun to “put an animal down” would only fall into use during a rifle season and then the handgun must be in accordance with a legal method of take and meet the criteria listed in the [URL='https://cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/RegulationsBrochures.aspx']Big Game Brochure[/URL], i.e. At a minimum, it must have a four-inch barrel, fire an expanding bullet of .24 caliber (6 mm) or larger and use a load that produces a minimum 550 ft. pounds of energy at 50 yards. Shoulder stocks or other attachments are prohibited.
