I also recently bought a (used) SBH Ruger, 10.5 inch barrel. I'm not in bear country, but if I was, I figure the extra long barrel could get Buffalo Bore .44 Specials up to velocities that could generate close to 900 ft./lb.s of muzzle energy.
The thing is, I used to have a SBH just about like this one years ago, but modified and with porting, and I didn't like the porting at all. With .44 mag cartridges, the noise and blast offset any advantages, IMO.
I plan on shooting .44 Special. If I start shooting magnums a lot, I'll probably end up getting some grips like these:
