[QUOTE="Tony 0321, post: 318582, member: 16800"] I guide up here in the great state of Alaska and if you are planing on doing some hunting up here I would suggest going with the 44 mag they are easy to cary around as a second weapon and they are also a good primary gun for protection too. If you do a lot of camping and stay in tents much a 44 is a lot easier to employ if you are in a sleeping bag. I always make sure that mine is right by my head so all I have to do is reach one hand out in the dark and I am ready to fight if I need to.. Personally I like a double action I would hate to be fumbling around getting the hammer back to shoot at a charging bear I like the point and click method. I shoot the Ruger super redhawk I have a 7 inch barrel on mine it is a bit long and a wee bit heavy but it is a lot less punishing on the wrist. The ultra lites are nice to cary but two of the people I know that have them also have problems with reliability. Also a stainless gun is the only way to go if you plan on coming up here, I own one blued rifle and I spend as much time scrubing rust off of it as I do shooting it.. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
