I am looking to buy my first handgun but I am not sure what caliber to get.
I have three primary reasons for wanting this gun. I may be willing to get 2 handguns.
1) hiking/backpacking
>I am currently thinking either a 9mm or 10mm
>possibly a G26 or G29 (i am open to non-Glock alternatives)
>I do not expect to take down a bear
>I would want to conceal it
>I am have an estremely slender build (think Auschwitz-mode)
>either ankle or inside my waist-band
>I fully understand that concealing it increases my draw time
I live in an open carry state, but I would like this gun to be small enough that an Auschwitz survivor could conceal it in summer time, but not so small that my wife decides to buy a strap-on.
2) Hunting/scouting sidearm
>does not need to be light since I will mostly be on an ATV
>does not need to be easily concealable, but compactness would still be a plus
>I have never fired a .45 or .50, do they have a lot of 'kick'?
3)Home defense
I feel that a pistol would be better than a shotgun in a home defense situation
>be me
>wife is at her bull's house
>baby princess daughter is at her bull's house
>I am sleeping soundly since I get the entire king sized bed to myself and am not fighting for sheets.

Option 1
>I sleepy wake up
>"sorry Jamal, Annonette is not home right now
>yes, please help yourself to the tv
>here is my wallet
Option 2
>grab 12ga
>12ga is wrestled out of my weak sleepy arms
>I get shot
Option 3
>grab pistol

tl;dr - what gun should I conceal carry for protection from medium sized animals while backpacking.
