[QUOTE="levers4life, post: 2047283, member: 106617"] I don't live in bear country nor have I hunted with brown bears. But I do shoot a lot of big bore revolvers. I have locked up several wheel guns with hot loads. They can fail. Mostly, I've had double actions lock up (Smith is prone to this), although it can happen with heavy frame singles too. I'm still of the mind that revolvers are less prone to failure than autos.....but. Be careful, know your gun, know your load, practice. My personal choice would be 4 5/8" Ruger BH in 45 Colt. I can drive a 265gr Keith hard cast bullet through a 10" cypress log and I have yet to lock it up. But, I'm old skool..... Be safe, Happy hunting, Merry Christmas! [/QUOTE]
