Folks this may be off subject but it’s one of those things that stick in the mind.
Does anyone remember a book, or a series, about warriors that came from a planet where they had to carry a gun with them at all times because everything on the planet would attack a human?
Made them great warriors for hire. I can’t remember who wrote it or what its called.

I don’t think it’s the one you’re thinking of but...
The Dorsai stories by Gordon R Dickson is a great sci/fi series in that vein.
Harry Harrison’s trilogy: Death World; Death World II/The Ethical Engineer; Death World III/The Horse Barbarians. Planet was named Pyrrus, and *everything* on it had human on its menu.
Read them originally as they came out as 3-part serials in Astounding/Analog.
Harry Harrison’s Deathworld trilogy.
Sounds a little like Harry Harrison's "Deathworld" series. It was a series of books where the protagonist went to a planet where pretty much every thing could kill you. Like Australia on steroids! I really loved them, many years ago. And his "Stainless Steel Rat" series too. I think that HH was WAY underrated as a writer, and thought the Stainless Steel Rat books would have made really great movies.
