    Bear defense pistols: .357 or .45acp. Pick one!

    If you’re shooting a charging bear, you’re only getting a couple shots off. Make em count.

    Backcountry hiking

    Maybe a 22/380. I’ve seen em run a little bit with a 9mm in em, but I ain’t seen one a 9mm couldn’t kill.

    Hiking Revolver, what do you pack?

    When you’re loaded way up to 420 grains @1400 fps it’s unkind. At 1100-1200, it’s really not bad.

    Hiking Revolver, what do you pack?

    It was converted by Mr Bowen, I’m not sure on weight because I’m not home right now. But its weight is comparable to a fully loaded S&W N frame. For backup carry I’m shooting a 420 grain cast bullet @ about 1200 fps, or a 340 grain CEB mono at 1400 fps. For use as my primary hunting arm, I...

    44 magnum vs 10mm heavy bone hard cast test

    I mean yeah you can do that. But the guy I was quoting was humping up and down mountains at 9K feet and looking to cut weight. A side arm when carrying a rifle is a perfect example of dead weight. It’s only useful when you don’t have a rifle.

    44 magnum vs 10mm heavy bone hard cast test

    So you’re packing everything you need for an entire hunt at all times on the hunt? That seems like carrying a ton of extra weight, or you’re not out very far. Pack frame, game bags, sleeping bag, tent, stove etc all stay in camp. Pistol is too. I carry my small day pack with light weight...

    44 magnum vs 10mm heavy bone hard cast test

    I don’t really mess with small game. But I do wear a handgun when I’m skinning a moose. But a handgun is just wasted weight when stalking

    44 magnum vs 10mm heavy bone hard cast test

    If you’re carrying a rifle, a handgun is just extra weight. Wearing a handgun is for when you’re not carrying a rifle

    44 magnum vs 10mm heavy bone hard cast test

    The problem is, in a real charge you’re not going to get 6 or 16 shots off. They’re rather rapid close range affairs.

    Why do folks like SA revolvers still?

    A good single action like a Bisley will handle big bore recoil much better than most double action designs. While my RedHawk 475 isn’t unshootable by any means the same loads in my bisley are way less worse

    Holster for bear country

    I carry my guns in a Dimond D leather holster when I’m in the woods. They’ll make a custom one if you need something different. https://www.diamonddcustomleather.com/collections/holsters/products/alaska-hunter-hip-holster They also make a chest holster, but I find those get in the way more...
