[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 230247, member: 8622"] Wow - that does seem to be a pretty stout load for a S&W 25. Yeah - I think a 250 or a 270 at 900 fps would be fine medicine for a modest range encounter with a black bear or a mountain lion. That's a big ol' bullet. Concur with the above; try different grips, reduce the velocity a bit and perhaps even consider shooting gloves. My two stout-recoil handguns are a 5" .44 629 Classic and a 8 3/8" S&W 500. I like 'em both just the way the factory built them, but the grips fit my hands pretty well. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
