PENETRATION
I dont want anything expanding and slowing itself down on dangerous game.
If and when time comes that a person HAS to defend themselves in a life and death situation, the HEAVY pistols are light, monster recoil isnt really noticed, and usually they dont even hear it go off.
I work all over the country, and when I am going out in the woods I carry nothing less than a .44 magnum with at a minimum of 240 gr hunting loads.
I feel much better with a keith hardcast.
If I know there is a chance of an encounter I have a 12 ga with slugs, brenneke black magics.
My wife shoots my .44 for fun and is looking at an alaskan as her next purchase.
Bug guns, big HARD projectiles, and most importantly... avoiding having to use them.
