[QUOTE="Cuz, post: 1919209, member: 80752"] I have 3 guns that I would carry as backup. Blackhawk in 45 l.c.,super redhawk in 480 ruger and bfr in 500 jrh. All loaded with heavy flat nose hard cast bullets at around 1000 fps. This gives very manageable recoil and can be shot one handed. I’m older and grew up with revolvers, so I’m comfortable with them. I don’t think velocity is as important as bullet construction in this situation. A proper bullet in 10 mm,41,44,460,480 or 500 will all probably work with the right shot. I would take my chances with any of them over a can of bear seasoning. [/QUOTE]
