No offense… but are you a good shot? Sounds like potential for your back stop not being ideal. Maybe small pistol with this loaded. It'll definitely denture any creature. Without worrying about missing target and killing someone in the background. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1000879516
G43 will be fine. That's what my wife keeps on her 4wheeler.I started this thread not really having any real idea how a coyote or a pack would act if I came upon one. I have limited experiences, I think around 3 times I've come across one, or even a pack. This one time (no, not in band camp), I came across 3 or 4, where 1 was probably no more than 15 or 20 yards away. Wife, dog and I quickly grew eyes in the back of our head and hastily jogged in the other direction.
If in that situation again, and armed, would I draw and take a shot? Or would I just do the same thing and take everybody in the other direction? Difficult to say when I really think about it.
As others have said, a big stick and some noise might be enough to de-escalate the situation 9 times out of 10. Perhaps if the firearms is best, or only appropriate if and when there is an interaction within 10 feet or so. Something a G43, LCR or LCP will handle just fine as others have pointed out.
Not a button but almost as good as napalm. Pour your fuel of choice in the hill and light.Mindset has a lot to do with perspective. Coyotes, bobcats, snakes, etc, there are folks that find it enjoyable killing them for the “sport” of it or for their own personal reasons. And there are others who value their presence for personal reasons as well.
I hunt, but if I don’t eat it I don’t kill it. The exception being fire ants. If I could push a button that would cause them to become extinct and cease to exist I’d do it and be glad I did.
Does it matter if it's a crossbreed, a full blood coyote, or a registered German Shepard attacking a hiker? I don't plan on being a snack.
MEEP MEEPFrom the research I've done, anvils, a painted-on tunnel, or rocket seem to work well against coyotes.

The rounds are too priceyTo truly appreciate defending yourself against Wiley Coyote you need the GYROJET PISTOL.
It is the ACME of pistols and nothing can go wrong. It is an actual coyote killer and the roadrunner will thank you!
