[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 1671872, member: 93281"] I carry a S&W model 69 in 44 mag (as it is light weight) with a cast bullet designed for large bears.... but by the time you figure out it’s not a bluff charge that bear will be awful close... you will want something bigger than a 44 with at least a 6” barrel. *hint* If you are packing out elk you smell like elk... it is not a bluff charge. With that said, If I get jumped by a bear I just prefer to go down fighting with a gun in my hand... worst case I give him indigestion. [/QUOTE]
