Those are nice! Sad that they are prohibs in Canada. I remember reading that short is best when using a firearms against bears. Long guns are getting in the way when the bear charges. If bear is almost on you, a handgun is better.
also, hard cast bullets is what you should use.
Got that from an article... |
If I was going to buy a hand cannon for bear defense I wouldn't get it with any less than a 4" barrel and call it good in a .44mag. The extra 1.5" of barrel over that Ruger Alaskan would not get in the way. If it did, the bear is probably already on you and your chances have already gone way down... Give me the slightly higher velocity and sight radius. On a side note, I WOULD buy a Ruger though. I'm not a big fan of any S&W products and don't believe others such as Taurus are quite up to snuff.
