Right on. Failure to fire from a round happens in revolvers but no such thing as a jam with Saami spec ammo. 357 and even a 10mm(moon clips) ported revolver with a brake would be a great option for some. I think the mentality that bigger is better has a place but not where sacrificing speed and accuracy is the most important thing. A well placed 357 or 10mm round in a bears central nervous system would turn off the power. You'd have many more on target with either of those two rounds than a big bore revolver for sure. Confidence means a lot also.

I am guessing that if a bear were chomping down on my leg, limp wristing would not be an issue…
Usually I'd go with a s&w mod 69 (either one) or a s&w model 640. But thats on me. Beware. No limp wristing allowed. Practice, practice, practice.
But do they have a brand preference?

The animals I would not hunt when I bow hunted- Lions, Tigers and Bears or ay big cat. You can become the Hunted instead of being the Hunter these should be hunted with a rifle and still have a back-up pistol or revolver of adequate knock down power with you at all times.

Yes he got lucky for sure. Everyone that survived a bear attack does regardless what defense pistol they tote. The key is carry one you can confidently and accurately shoot. Preferably one that doesn't jam.Yeh, in some politician's or G&F official's home or office.

Makes me remember my transition from revolvers... Dad was always cautious about handing me a semi-auto, rightly so. So Iwas maybe 12 or so then I first shot the 1911. Never limp wristed. But then I was shooting .357 Mag, .44 Mag, and .45 Colt before that....you have to hold a firm grip with revolvers that recoil. That may be why I never limp wristed.

Maybe that's the reason why I didn't have an issue with "limp wristing"! At 16 I bought a 357 Mag, next was a S&W 629 (44 mag), and then graduated to a 460 XVR. memtb
