Well I tell you what, there are a mess of revolvers I'd take bear hunting, but only one auto and it's a Glock so that pretty much tells me what I need to know.

Bullshit. He happened to be the most experienced brownie killer on the planet and he got real lucky too. I'm going strapped with a .375 H&H in brownie country! :hunter:dennishoddy said:Guide killed a coastal brown with a 9mm in Alaska. Don't need nuthin else.
HAHA! I'm toting my Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 mag with 300 grain Elmer Kieth hard cast when I go back next year for a land tour. Unguided on the some of the Salmon streams to fly fish. Can of bear spray on the other side.Definitely Deplorable said:Bullshit. He happened to be the most experienced brownie killer on the planet and he got real lucky too.

Nah, I have a .25 secamp to shoot my buddy in the kneecap if it gets to that stage, then I'll be running like hell!benny hill said:AND make sure to keep the last round for yourself in case the bear does'nt follow the skrip and only gets pissed off.
.357 Sig was designed to duplicate the 125 grain .357 service loads that were/are so good. The problem is that the factories have downloaded it a little. It runs about identical to 9mm +P+ out of my guns. IDK about heavier bulet loadings in the Sig but a 158 to 180 in a .357 magnum is still formidable.Jesse Tischauser said:How does a .357 sig or a 10mm compare ballistic wise to a .357 mag or .44 mag? I'm talking brown bear stopping power. Cause I'm thinking to myself id rather have a high cap Glock on my hip in almost any circumstance but if I was hiking for miles in the bush and a bear was trying to use me to super size his fries having a compact mountain/pack wheelgun like a .44 or .357 might sound pretty appealing.
bad advice. You have no idea who or what the op is. they could be a 90 year old grandmother. Show me a pair of military that has a 90year old lady in it. heck, show me one military. Your experience in shooting and training with nothing but cardboard meanies is very obviousMitch Gibson said:No. Buy an autoloader. Revolvers are cool, but they are obsolete. Name a police force that doesn't employ Barney Fife that issues revolvers. Name a military that issues revolvers. Name a paramilitary that issues revolvers. Organizations that cater to lowest common denominator window lickers issue autoloaders. The only orgs that issue revolvers are nobodies, casino trash, and rent-a-cops. Even armored truck personnel moved away from revolvers, and they are the lowest.
Autoloaders are the present and future. Revolvers can't even bring 200 people to a world championship, nor 100 people to a national championship.

Burk may like this post, but he has even less of an idea of what youre saying than I do.Mitch Gibson said:This site is mostly populated by 90-year-old women with multiple generations of children in their wake. They come here for sound advice from reclusive gun nuts that operate so hard that they only shoot people, and no one ever sees them. Bout it bout it.
