[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 1023643, member: 67515"] I think too big a gun is hard to control when you really need performance. Recoil is a lot lot heavier with a 454 and larger. Try one before you buy and you'll most likely agree. I'd stick with a cartridge you can control yet still penetrate. I'd think about .44 mag in the length of barrel of your choice in a SW loaded with hard cast wide frontal 300 grainers. Cross draw holsters are the most comfortable and stay out off the way for average activity. It's been proven you don't need much more than 1200FPS to make a hard cast bullet penetrate more than 24" with a large wound cavity. Good luck [/QUOTE]
