I'm thinking my next gun purchase is probably going to be some kind of "big" revolver. It'll mostly be for personal enjoyment and shooting (when I have the money) but possibly protection for hiking (I live in black bear country) where I can't or am not able to carry my shotgun.
I have been thinking a 44 Mag with around a six inch barrel. Definitely no snubby or anything like that. I am ruling out the .357 because I don't feel like its as big of a caliber as I want. I am wondering if there is anything I would be missing in the larger calibers like the .454, .460, .500 magnum? It doesnt seem like these guns are ultra common and surely the ammo is worth its weight in gold but that isnt really the issue. I am just looking for any missed benefits with rounds more powerful than the .44 mag.
