[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2108548, member: 26227"] I am going to echo JSHKS, shoot a few and make sure you can handle it and the follow up shot it might take for a bad first shot. I would only use a handgun as a back up gun, never a primary. there are some really great .458", .416", .505" and .429" rifles in carbine that would do a wonderful job as primary. I like the 454 Casull, the 460 S&W, the 500 S&W, the linebaugh series are good. I like the freedom arms guns, also the S&W X-frames. IF you must; get a 45-70 hand cannon from Desert Eagle or one of the 6 revolvers manufacturers that make the big 6-guns. you can hand load 500+ grain hard lead "thumpers" in it at a slightly reduced loads for "comfort". Yes, I know a guy in Idaho that actually does this.. I refuse to shoot that BFR from Desert Eagle. John, friend from Idaho, states the 7.5" barrel is more comfortable to shoot than the 10" barrel. he has both. [/QUOTE]
