There is a lot of truth in what you said about being right the first time with a 44 mag. I’ve killed a number of bears and I’ve never been overly calm while doing so. I can only imagine what my adrenaline and heart rate would be if I were being charged. I shoot handguns relatively well, but I’m not so sure that would be a true statement under extreme stress. I personally do not enjoy shooting a 44 mag a whole lot.
