I GOT A KICK OUT OF THIS

Sounds about right for that caliber.

nojoke For home defense: you want the firearm that you can shoot with the best speed AND accuracy that you have in you...

:lecturef_smilie: And remember... It's not just what's in front of you, and in your sights: it's what's behind that, as well... nojokenojokenojokenojokenojokenojokenojokenojokenojokenojoke

Yikes...!!

I'll bet you would get a Kick outta of it in more ways than one....:yikes::roflblack:

The Desert Eagle is one bad a** weapon.

 

[Bob Denman]

While :agree: with you; it's way too cumbersome for a daily carry piece.
As a hunting handgun: it's not bad, but there are others that are much better!
As a target firearm :shocked: : NOT!!
As an "Ego-Piece": definitely! :thumbup:

You should see some of the cannons that Alaskans take with them fishing and hunting. They make Clint's Magnum look small. They are usually for bear protection and most are big enough to drop them dead with one well placed shot.

For home protection...I will leave that to the experts.

Isn't that the point of having it in the first place? :dontknow:
While I like the .44 magnum (Clint's duty-piece in "Dirty Harry"); it's just not robust enough for a Brown Bear... nojoke

I'm thinking that a .454 Casull, or even the S&W .500 mag might be my choice for playing tag with the Big Bears...

gosh... drop that hammer... and hang on... no one will have to tell you it went off...

[Machinegunner]

I was told that if you use a hand gun for big bears, you should cut the front sight off the gun, so that when the bear shoves it up your butt, it won't hurt so bad.

Accuracy comes only with practice... LOTS of it! nojoke

I've heard it said, that when the guides go in the brush looking for a wounded bear: they use a 12 gauge pump... the first shot or two is birdshot... followed by slugs. :yikes:
The birdshot will blind the bear, and fill his nose with blood...
And the slugs? You tell me!

The best load for wounded lions is #4 buckshot. 27 .25cal. lead balls, 1 1/2 oz. heavier load than most big rifles and much denser pattern than 00 buck.

:shocked: I was just going to suggest that it's best to completely avoid this situation... nojoke

I was just thinking along those same lines, Bob. I was thinking that the best caliber for a wounded Lion would come out of someone elses weapon.

 

[Machinegunner]

I was just saying the a 12ga. with #4Buck is considered the deadliest close range weapon.
