[QUOTE="scpaul, post: 2826484, member: 76393"] Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen anyone mention a 44 special. They make them in all types except auto. Depending on which pistol you pick, it can be a quick handling powerhouse. I wouldn't recommend loading it to 44 magnum but with the right bullet and powder combination it really deserves respect. I keep a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug on my 4 wheeler when I'm in Hog territory. I've used it on one's that I've trapped and got pass through with both 200 and 240 gr. bullets. I don't usually load hollowpoints for it unless I load them reversed. They are wicked at close range even out of a snubnose. If they were in a 4" barrel I think that it maybe bear medicine in close quarter situations. With the new 45's can really be heated but if I was going to go with a 45 that I'd probably go with the 454. I also havent heard about the 480 Ruger, another bad boy. There' alot out there if you sit sit back and think. Ive forgotten about the 41 mag too, another bad boy. .41 cal. and a 44 mag. is only .429. I love my Para P12-45 and can change mags fast, but I don't think that it would be my go to gun in big or even small bear country. Remember that you most likely only get 1 try at these situations.
