[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1223693, member: 7123"] A 4" Ruger Redhawk in .45 Colt is strong enough to be loaded a good ways up toward .454 casull, and more than .44 mag can be loaded to, due to lower pressure from larger case size - yet still have reasonable handling characteristics - clears leather fast. The best gun and chambering is the one you shoot best, rapidly AND accurately, under pressure, in .357 mag or larger, for something like a brown bear. But in a vacuum, something like a 4" redhawk .45 colt is just about ideal - a bit heavy though, to lug a long ways. If you're huntin or fishin purt' near the pickup truck, it'd be a good choice, I reckon. I have a SW Mountain Gun 4" .45 Colt, but I wouldn't go over the Buffalo Bore "+P" type ammo in the Smith.
