Two things that don't match. Concealment means a smaller size handgun for most people. In some places, printing is enough to be arrested (stupidity in action).
I would buy a handgun for concealment that you can shoot proficiently, and a different one to take to the woods. A couple things to keep in mind, large animals with lots of fur are hard to take down with a pistol or revolver. They are tougher and much faster than a human. Conversely, carrying a full size pistol or revolver concealed is hard because of the printing. Just like any tool, the best job is one that is done with the right tool. When I hunted, I used a lever action .357. With an 18' barrel, there was maximum burn and easily went out to 100 yards. I also carried a short barrel .357 revolver in case I ran into predators that were eyeing me like a T-Bone. One round, two functions. For a carry, an automatic is better because you can carry more rounds and reload is faster. A large caliber bullet is not need with humans because we don't have tough hides and don't move quickly like animals. I carried a .22 for many years. It's not the round, it is the placement. Practice, practice, practice
