It's good to see the gun will handle the hot stuff even though it'll hurt my hand. Even the hottest 44 Mag shouldn't get close to the recoil impulse of the Tauras .454 I shot a few months back. That's absolutely insane!

I appreciate the honesty about how underpowered the 44 Mag is against Grizzlys. I suppose a large bottle of jalapeno spray would be a good thing to have also. Although, I did see a program on TV where a guy sprayed the ground with pepper spray, then watched in awe as a big griz came by and started rolling around in the strange smelling stuff.

The opinion of the host was that whan bears are sprayed with the stuff, the hiss of the pressurized chemical more startles the bear than anything, so they retreat.

Oh well, I load a bone crunching bullet and hope for the best.

Thanks.
