[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 2715225, member: 2460"] [ATTACH type="full"]428171[/ATTACH] "A .45 Colt is not designed to bring down a 988-pound bear instantly. It is not big enough," he said. "You need a bigger gun." This guy put 3 rounds with a 45 Colt into the bear and was wishing he had a bigger gun, neighbor showed up with a 12 gauge and killed the brownie inside his house with a 1 oz copper slug [URL unfurl="true"]https://freerangeamerican.us/shooting-kodiak-bear-in-house/?fbclid=IwAR1I8QSKsn9doY2k7bN6UxZRvCawHcCVsOmpKSBYmBrhNZy7Cacge41IUsQ[/URL] Lots of guys on the internet keep saying a lighter recoiling handgun is better because it's easier to shoot & carry What's the point if it can't kill the bear ? I bought the original 500 S&W with the 8 3/8" barrel at Brown Bear Guns in Kodiak in 2003 and have been carrying it everywhere I go since .... packed it up mountains on goat hunts several times, my solo moose hunts via ATV & solo black bear hunts hiking up into the mountain valleys around Seward & the 500 is always on my left side, butt forward.. With practice I can draw (almost as fast as Trinity) & put 5 shots into a 22" steel plate at 25 steps & this is with hardcast 500 gr WLN LBT style bullets I cast myself with a bullet I designed and had a custom mold made Have the Ruger SRH in 454 Casull that I carried before but now it's the wifes side arm when I take her moose hunting Any average adult male in good physical condition can learn to shoot it and carry it around, It's not that bad.. most of the complaints are highly exaggerated and a myth has been created about a monster Little old ladies & their folklore tales, lol ! ...
