[QUOTE="APH Tactical, post: 3025002, member: 40946"] Hey Dennis, thanks for stopping by. First and foremost... "backcountry fishing in Alaska!" I'm jealous. and here's a slight comparison, for comparison's sake. 1. At a whopping 53oz unloaded, the 7.5" barreled Super Redhawk(their small one) weighs more than twice that of the G29 Gen4. 2. The same Pistol is almost (13" vs 6.88") twice as long as the G29. 3. At 15+1 on 703 ft/lbs(BB 220gr) the Bush possess more in-hand energy than the Redhawk(slightly), and WAYYY more energy than a 9mm, 40S&W, or 45ACP pistol, especially in it's size/weight class, which was the goal of it's conception. 4. Due to the more manageable recoil of the 10mm, follow up shots would be much faster and far more likely to land on target under pressure. If we're being honest, the name "Bush" came about simply because at the last minute, we were forced by law to name it something other than G29. The "Outback" seemed inappropriate for it's intended customer, and naming it after the customer's department seemed limiting for future sales. In fact, the ability for the firearm to take down dangerous or wounded mammals and barrier penetration, was tertiary to conceal-ability and effectiveness in a gunfight. In the end, to each his own. If I had to choose one to take to the range for a couple hours or show off to my buddies, it would definitely be the .44 Magnum without a doubt! And if I had to be shot by one or the other, I must admit the G29 would be my choice. But if I had to choose one to attempt to conceal, implement tactically, train with, carry in a hostile environment, carry for an extended period, buy ammo for, keep on target, defend my home, reload, reload wearing gloves in subzero temperatures, pitch and sell to USG, or reach for in the highly unlikely event that I heard a twig snap and turned around to see a charging mamma Grizzly, it would be the G29 Bush.
