I’d want a S&W 500 magnum.

Hope you have strong wrists

My BIL bought a S&W .454 Casull for their hiking jaunts when they lived in Idaho

A few years ago my mom and her husband took a long trip to Alaska. They flew in his Cessna. He spent a lot of time figuring out what kind of firearm he wanted to bring along for bear protection. It was more in the case of unscheduled landing etc. the ,500 Magnum was on his list.

He decided to stick with a 12 gauge simply because they were stopping in Canada for a few days.

Not necessary. It’s all about shot placement.

That looks painful.

On my list is to go test fire some large caliber sidearms which I’ve never handled, including the 500 and the Desert Eagle 50AE and 44MAG (the latter of which appears rather impressive with a compensator, and 8 rounds to-boot).

I’ll take your 500S&W and raise you my 475 Linebaugh.

“I’d want a S&W 500 magnum.”

I used to, but I started reloading very stout 44 magnums (270gr Speer DeepCurl @1400fps) and decided that was enough.
