Okay, that sounds a bit more logical.

But regardless, a handgun needs to be in a somewhat controllable caliber, which isn’t going to be effective against an apex predator. For that, I want a rifle. 8MM Mauser in 196 GR should be enough to persuade a grizzly to seek sustenance elsewhere.

Think it depends on person , size strength experience. I personally think swinging a California framer for 10 , 12 hours sux worse than shooting several rounds of a heavy high velocity round . Idk tho to each their own i rekon.

I’ll give you that. Swinging that hammer would work those forearms nicely though. I’ve done that once or twice before. That’s exactly what the younger generation needs.

But a hand cannon that you may not be ready for… that’s a different animal and can have nasty consequences. I made the mistake of underestimating .454 Casull once. That was enough for me.

All wheel gun rounds, no doubt.

Seems like a light round , 325grn 454 hard cast for mucho penetration for bear or the like . Buffalo bore might make a .460 thats heavy.
