[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 2539057, member: 1940"] FWIW I’ve taken 3 elk and a B&C black bear with big caliber revolvers, hunting not defending. The .44 mag shooting 325 grain hardcast went end to end on the bear, penetrating about 6’ of bear. Very effective. The elk were with a .454 Casull shooting 300 grain magnum XTP’s at ~1600 fps. Also very effective but not as much penetration as the hardcast. Neither light weight guns, but both carry comfortably and draw pretty quick from chest holsters. That’s my preference. My cousin has lived in AK for close to 40 years now. Avid outdoorsman. Carries a .500 S&W, ported, 4” barrel. Says it’s far more comfortable to shoot that my unported .454. [/QUOTE]
