[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1926564, member: 103842"] My first “bear defense” 44 mag was a Smith 6” with a full lugged barrel. Was fairly heavy and long. It was stolen from my house and the next one I bought was a Smith Mountain Gun. It had a tapered 4” barrel and was much lighter. Bought some Arctic Ammo from a store in Anchorage. Think it was overloaded 300+gr FMJ. The recoil was absurd and accuracy was marginal at best in my hands. Shot it a few times and declared myself loaded for bear. Never fired it again and I sold it on my way out of AK. [/QUOTE]
