[QUOTE="gjk5, post: 1491797, member: 47604"] I own numerous DA revolvers, including .44 mags. Owned a Super Redhawk for a while. The S&W Mountain Gun has to date been my 2nd most frequent.....well: mountain gun. Usually it is a 4" S&W M28 (.357) though. We have only black bears here so not apples to apples. Recently my thought process has changed a little and I am going to buy a G20. After having run well into the boatloads of rounds through various Glocks in IDPA and just range time, and having lots of time shooting one handed, weak side, strange positions induced by sadistic stages; I have decided that the muscle memory and practice with that platform trumps the extra oomph of the DA magnums. It would take years of practice to be able to shoot a revolver as proficiently. If I were to be stuck in brown/grizzly country and NOT carrying a rifle, rangefinder, binoculars and could concentrate solely on managing that pig of a sidearm (don't get me wrong, love it) then I probably would. But for hucking around in the mountains with all my crap I want to be able to draw and present quickly and confidently and fire from multiple positions/stances etc, I think I'd feel more comfortable with a G20. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
