We have quite a few bears at our place in PA so either a Model 19 w 158gr cast (and some snake shot iny pocket) or an S&W Performance Center 44 Mag with similar configuration Down here in FLA, Colt Woodsman.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
