Definitely not a force I'm interested in reckoning with.  I'm glad it's mostly good guys who own and shoot 500 S&W Magnum!
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

I've got several; .45 Colt, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum, but I just picked up this 657-2 .41 Magnum and am itching to try it out.

Well as this IS a 10mm Board, I would be remiss if I did not mention the Glock20 10MM...  :o ;D



But My Ruger Bisley 45 COLT is my go to hunting handgun.



Here is a short video of a boar I head shot with it. For some reason the audio and picture are out of sinc... You get the jest, its short, just click the link and enjoy...

I don't feel "big bore" starts until 45 caliber, but that's just my opinion.  In my case, my "go to" is my Colt Anaconda loaded with 300gr WFNGC's in front of a healthy dose of H110.

I run into about half a dozen or more grizzlies, moose and a few black bears every year (never see the cats, but I know they're there) during the course of my job.



This situation is exactly like 1994 and 2009.  Shooters responded emotionally to some threat that did not exist.  Some persons who wanted to appear "in the know" or "connected" used the internet forums to repeat these "sky is falling" rumors over and over until people believed i

Depends, my first big bore was a .357 mag, which was plenty big for most situations. Then I got the .44 mag if I ever got in a hairyier one. Now I have a .454 Casull in case I ever run into that mythological bear that seems to worry way toooooooooooooooo much about, That one's a hanful, I don't even want to handfire anything bigger.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?
