That's why I bought my 4-inch Model 500. Luckily I've been able to avoid the really big grizzlies here in Central Illinois. Never hurts to be prepared though!
Yes--Ruger Vaquero .45.
THE CORBON 45COLT HEAVY LOADS HAVE MORE ENERGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Than every 44MAG load on the market except for the CORBON, BUFFALO BORE, and GARRETT 44MAG loads. No W-W, R-P, FED, etc etc in 44MAG are even close!!!
And the best part is the 45COLT heavy loads do it all with markedly less pressure, therefore markedly less recoil, than any 44MAG load, plus the 45COLT does it all with a real honest-to-God 45 caliber bullet, not a 43 caliber bullet like a 44MAG uses.
Guys, there ain't no flys in the 45COLT'S ointment at ALL!!
For Grizz, no. Not even on a good day.
If the bear is actually clawing you it might jam when a revolver wouldn't.Any thoughts on a Glock 10mm for such a purpose?
Jerry Mckulek uses a double action for some reason. And besides, this isn't about who can shoot faster in a competition. When a bear is mauling you, it's a little different than shooting at a target. And you can always fire a DA in SA.Elmer Kieth said for those who learned how to shoot on single action, then they will shoot none faster.
Dunlop, you dont think a 1 oz 12 ga slug would be a bear stopper? You might be realy supprised! The 12 ga slug has alot more energy than the 45 or 44 csa
