[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 995494, member: 69773"] I was at a local shop this weekend and looked pretty carefully at the 460 S/W, I think with a 10 inch barrel. Even unloaded, it is a pretty heavy gun to tote around, although it was balanced well enough to hold 1 handed and the shop owner (has the same gun) said the muzzle brake is very effective. One of the interesting conversations we had was his prior experience with black bear. They move fast enough that he was not so sure that he could actually draw (from a chest holster) and fire it fast enough, even with the practice he does, so he now carries a smaller caliber in a conventional holster. It almost seems like a short pump slug gun or lever action rifle in these larger bore calibers might be more effective from an ease of carrying / handling perspective. I will admit that my age is starting to show, but I just could not imagine actually carrying that revolver around all day even in a chest holster. [/QUOTE]
