[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2699016, member: 10"] All comes down to practice. Same type of thing with using handguns for bear protection here on the Rocky Mountain front. Many say you need a hot loaded 10mm so you have instant followup shots and 12-15 back up shots. Some say the semi autos are poor choices if a bear gets you within touching reach because any pressure on the muzzle will unlock the slide and pistol will not shoot. some say double action big bore revolver is only way to go as you have followup shots in any situation, just pull trigger. I personally like the big bore single action revolvers. In theory the slowest of all handguns as you need to thumb the hammer for each shot. Still. With some practice it is fully capable of being extremely effective for protection even though its the slowest and simplest form of repeating handgun. That is perhaps its strongest advantage though. Just like a good bolt gun, with proper training and practice, will serve you just fine. [/QUOTE]
