[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1226866, member: 84520"] Takem406, I've hunted Wyoming a few times, twice in griz habitat. I never carry a handgun while hunting. If any bear could withstand 5 7MM Rem Mag rounds, I'd reload my rifle before I'd ever reach for a handgun. I've never known a handgunner who could rapidly fire and hit a target with a .44 Rem Mag. Hence, it's a one shot good, other shots maybe no good. The largest caliber wheel gun I've seen shot with close to accurate follow-up shots is the .357 Mag. Were it me, I'd rather hit a mean critter with 6 180 grain .357 Mag rounds than with 1 .44 Mag mag and pray that at least one of the remaining five will hit its intended target. [/QUOTE]
