Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Question for Phil Shoemaker on handguns for Alaska

I feel that the really big bores are great hunting/paper revolvers. SA or DA. For bear defense, I feel that multiple shots will be needed. That is why I would go with a small, easy to go to, SS DA revolver in .41mag stoked with Federal 250gr Cast Cores.

FWIW, not many bears in KS.
