[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1916843, member: 105459"] [I]I have stated my preferences for Alaskan handguns on other web pages. I currently use a The Ruger Super Red Hawk "Toklat" revolver in .454 Casull,. As a back up it can not be beat. (Negative side heavy weight / recoil, ) - (Positive side SS finish, will satisfactorily take on anything) [B] It is truly quite a handful in more than one way![/B] I used to carry a Ruger Super Black Hawk with a 6 1/2" barrel in 44 Magnum in a clam shell holster worn under my left arm. Please note that this Super Black Hawk chambered in .44 magnum is the minimum caliber that I feel comfortable with in the Great White Alaskan Wilderness. However now my sidearm of preference is the Ruger Super Red Hawk "Toklat" 7 1/2" bbl version. IMHO this barrel length is just about right to carry and yet still is readily available if need be.! This is carried again under my left arm in a break away clamshell holster.[/I] [B][I] INHO Most bear attacks occur at relatively short range , and in a flash of time, so when in bear country always be prepared for the unexpected because you never know what's watching or hearing you.[/I][/B] [I][B] This is the adage that I live by ![/B] I expect some controversy on this subject, But both of these handguns have dispatched dangerous game for me. I have not played around with any 10mm handguns! [B]Your Thoughts ?[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
