[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 995560, member: 56732"] A guy I knew packed a DE 50. I shot it some. I was not impressed. But it was easy shooting. Reliability was so so. Not what you want in a bear encounter. I packed a Ruger Bisley Cowboy in 44 mag for quite a while. Loaded with 320 gr Cast Performance with 20 gr of H110. Problem was I couldn't hit very well with it. And hits are what count. The new Ruger Toklat 454 or 5 1/2" SRH in 480 Ruger are very good options. Either would be very good. I prefer the 480 with 400+ gr bullets @1150+ fps. But the 454 is very close. I pack a Glock 20 now and consider myself well armed. As you noted Harry, hand cannons are just that. Cannons. Not the kind of thing you can safely and accurately whip out and get good hits with. Especially 1 handed. [/QUOTE]
