i do like my 1911`s alot but when i go back up in bear country i will still take my short 4 inch barreled revolver in a 44 Mag.,revolvers are easy to learn to use and shoot.
unless they are scandium..... I'll take what I can shoot any day over what hurts and isnt controllable.
OT I wonder how many carry 454 and 460 and 500 can actually shoot a cylinder full DA and hit a grapefruit at close range under stress... that said even a 44 mag with full on loads..
Its one thing to take a carefully aimed shot at something not attacking you, vs having to pray the first round or three somewhere in there hits CNS
