You donate one, and I'd be happy to make a video of it

My EDC is my Kahr CW40, loaded with 8 rounds of Remington 180 grain Ultimate Defense. When I'm heading into bear country, I pack my 7.5" Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum. loaded with 300 grain Hornady Custom JHP. Always use the right tool for the job.

Dann,
44 nice!
40 nice too.
I know what scat is but what is EDC? I am sure it is simple but have seen it xx amount of times and cant hook up EDC.

I guess when I think of hiking or any kind of field work I think of a revolver: Ruger SP101 or GP100 depending on what I am wearing or what I am doing. I'd be more comfortable with a magnum round penetrating all that bear fur. But I guess a .40 would be sufficient and a whole lot lighter to carry. You did say black bears, right? But I've found that a good holster and belt overcome a little extra weight in most situations...and allow you carry the right tool for the job.

Disclaimer: I have absolutely no rationale for preferring a revolver in the field. Just what I am comfortable with.

No rationale needed my friend. Being in the woods harkens thoughts of a simpler time. In those simpler times a revolver was the only choice. I too long for the loving embrace of a trusty revolver at times, but alas, I have my modern 10mm for now

Thanks. I'm still looking for a Redhawk in 45lc in case that bear is a brown one. Buffalo Bore 300gr.... But I'm way off track here.

go for the 44 mag. You won't be Sorry. If you want something to shoot 45 get a Blackhawk convertible.

45lc can be loaded just as hot as 44 and pushes a bigger bullet. The 44 however wins in sectional density and availability.

For me it's always been my brain wanting a 44 and my heart wanting a 45.

The outer diameter of the blackhawk barrel is the same for the 44 and 45. Guess which has more steel and can hold more pressure back. I would guess the one with the thicker cylinder wall.

I have two 45 colts I would not like to put an extra power in the wrong one. Would hate to blow up a nice Colt.

Want more power than a 44 mag. Consider a 454 Casull. 45/70, 460 Smith, 480 Ruger or 500 Smith. Some generate twice the recoil of the full on 44m. The 454, and 460 will both shoot any 45 colt round easily.

What happens when you expire and your Grandson gets a new Cowboy action revolver and finds some loaded ammo of yours which generates twice the pressure than his gun can tolerate.

Not trying to argue but pick the right gun rather than generating excessive pressure in the wrong gun.
