I have read through all 17 pages of this thread with interest, and viewed many of the videos linked here. I am a handgun hunter and have handgun hunted with many calibers from 22lr to 500S&W to single shot Contenders in 35 Remington for 40 years, and have carried handguns afield for personal...

Sounds like a great rig. I bet it is very comfortable to carry.

Great looking carbine for close work. I would prefer a pump action Remington 7600 in 35 Whelen if I were carrying a long gun. (Minus scope) But if I have to crawl into some place, I will probably have one of these in my hand. Blue Dan Wesson 44mag on left...

Thank you very much.

They usualy just poke along, but they can move when they want to.

As a professional guide, I don't think he bothered using 12ga for bear nor did his hunter clients. JJ doesn't usually volunteer opinions on hypotheticals. He usually just shares from what he has used or seen his hunters use. He did share he usually carried a 44mag only as his primary backup...

At home I can usualy just kill the rattlesnakes around my house with a shovel. If you miss with a rock or a stick, they can come at you, and at my age, they are faster than me. In the desert here, it can be difficult or dangerous to go off trail to avoid them, and it is my experience, they are...

There is a man with more handgun bear killing experience than anyone I have ever heard of. Across his career, he was a game manager on over 300,000 acre timber conern which bordered an even bigger wilderness area with an almost unlimited number of bears. He was federally licensed to remove...

It didn't take 10 lifetimes for THAT professional hunter.

63 year old grandma takes down aggressive, world record size, grizzly, which was tracking down she and her partner while they were hunting and trapping small game in Alberta, Canada. Being a Cree Nation woman who had hunted, trapped, and avoided predators all her life, she knew how to stay down...

I generally prefer revolvers in the backcountry as they are generally more reliable in inclement conditions, dirt, brush, dust, wet. I live 60 miles from the Mexican border, and predators I encounter are much more likely to be 2 legged than 4 legged, but USUALLY unarmed, but not always. My 4"...

That is great. Do we no where we can get one of those?

I have a Tikka 512 in 9.3x74r, but like DaBill, I have used it yet. I would also be interested to hear. I also have Valmet 412, same gun, in 30-06, and some shotgun and shotgun/rifle combo barrels. Great guns.

Only the Webley Mk V and Mk VI had cyliders beefed up enough to shoot modern 45acp ammo. None of the others were strong enough, and even those 2, the last 2 Webley 45's made, will not stand up to a steady diet of 45acp full house loads. Nonetheless, you have a great old Webley WG there. Great...

I bought a 1000 rounds of 300prc fired brass made by ADG to make 416 Ruger brass. The brass is thick walled, heavy brass, and should outlast most any other brass, as good or better than Norma or Lapua brass. I will still make some of the brass into 416 Ruger brass just because it holds up well...
