Age 65, Colt Detective, too weak from cancer for my 1911 now.

I think your .45 Colt is the best self defense handgun. Big bullet, moderate recoil, and terriffic stopping power.

Name the Best Range Gun That Is Carry-able, Best Carry Gun You Can Shoot Accurately Les Baer, Concept V, 45 acp ...................

First deer hunts were in Wisconsin. Dad was born there, and had relatives farming. I don't carry a handgun when hunting with a rifle, no need. Bow hunting I did carry a .44 S&W. I do carry a revolver when hiking, canoeing, or camping in Florida woods /swamps. A .44 with the first two...

Read this, I always thought Lead Hard Cast was the right choice, but this expeirenced hunter said NO. http://www.foggymountain.com/handgunning-bear-hunt3.shtml

I bought 3 for a tad under $500 ea. One for my wife, 2" "lady Smith" deluxe grips, case and tuned, and two with 3"bbl & adj sites for my son and I. Allot of fun but not all that accurate compared to a S&W model 18.

When I bought a .44 mag in the early 70's my father thought I was crazy. Use a rifle he said. His opinion a .45 Colt was more than enough in a handgun. And the .38 special was all you need. A .357 was too much flash and kick. I wonder what he would have said about the .460 or 500 magnum...

PabloJ, I pretty much disagree with everything you've said in this post. But you are entitled to your opinion. ;)

http://www.lobogunleather.com/1_home http://bellcharteroakholsters.com/index.htm I heard good things about these two makers. I had good luck buying used Bianchi holsters for my Colt Detective & Diamondback on E Bay.

Better look again. The Buffalo Bore loads work in Ruger SA's. Beartooth 355's fit just fine in a stock Ruger SA and can be pushed over 1200fps I learn something new almost everyday. :-) http://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=54 The long bullet must be set pretty deep...

The heavy loads do NOT fit in S&W, Ruger SA, revolvers. Your make of revolver dictates your choice. You can step down to 310 grn loads. I have some and use them for pig hunting. I'm sure they work a variety of game but 90 % of my shooting is done with 225 to 250 grn LSWC, 9 % with 240, 265...

.44 spcl = low flash, low recoil, lower blast noise, but a big bullet, big performance, big fun

Beautiful revolvers. I have a 4" & a 6" that I will never sell. I never see any deals in my neighborhood. $1800 and $2500 for one with a box is the norm. Too expensive for me.

Both revolvers represent quality and craftmanship. It is a crying shame that they are no longer made. I own 2 Pythons ( 4", 6" ), and an unfired Andaconda. I would buy more but not at todays inflated prices. I know they will never go down in price, but their price is out of line in my opinion.

My vote is for the 1911. Two years using one in the military and one on a NRA pistol team, I am comfortable with the 1911. My wife took my 226 I never use it, I hate the trigger. Use the one you are most comfortable shooting.

I might have mentioned one of my bear enconters, I was hunting in the Ocala NF with my wife. We stopped to eat lunch and started setting up with paper plates and heating up some chow. Just about ready to eat when all of a sudden, crashing out of the brush was a big black blurr. All I had...

I enjoyed reading through the replys. Some pretty funny and some thoughtful. Here in Florida, going "outdoors" I run into alligators, black bears, oodles of snakes, and the most dangerous of all 2 legged varmits. I guess any of the larger calibars work. I usaully have a 4" S&W .44...

Taurus and Charter Arms are solid revolvers, but not designed to be shot allot. The quality is not great but usually quite dependable. Taurus copied the looks and much of the mechanics of S&W. I think if S&W kept the .44's in their line up they would still be selling. I guess there is a...

I have a Remington single shot .22 I got in the early 60's with S&H Green Stamps in Chicago. :D
