Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Your carry Handgun in AK 44 Mag, 10mm, .454 Casull?

I carried a 44 Mag in the form of a Ruger Super Blackhawk 5.5" barrel cut down from 7.5". I mostly carried Buffalo Bore 305 grain hard casts. Never had to shoot anything but I had it in my hand several times over the years when I was very close to bears, and once when we had a cow moose charge our group while riding ATV's. I think bear spray is probably a legitimate defense for grizzly's or Brown bears. I'm not so confident with black bears.
