SFCRMSA wrote: I DO NOT CARRY A 22 LR SURVIVAL HANDGUN, THAT IS A JOKE. Agreed. I was asked this question a couple of times this morning during a ladies' shoot. In my opinion, if a .22 is all you have or are comfortable with, then whatever, it's a hell of a lot better than no gun at all. However, it will never be my choice not necessarily because of ballistics but because of reliability. In general, .22 ammo is unreliable, and .22 guns are even more unreliable.

When I'm in big bear country, I carry the 329PD. I have to be weight conscious as pounds = pain. It's a handful, but manageable.
I handload a 255 grain hardcast Keith at maximum pressure. It will punch a heck of a hole. If I can't get it done in six, well, so be it. Bear spray is only to be used after the shooting, so you can demonstrate you tried it before shooting. Otherwise, you get a civil suit from one of the bear loving groups (applies to lower 48). |

How about Revolver vs. AR15?

Ugh. There are so many bear gun threads on the S&W forum it's become a running gag.
In bear country I carry a S&W 629 5" with 300gr hard casts in a nylon shoulder holster. It's not particularly light but I know it'll work. I'd love to find a S&W Mountain Gun in .44 or .41, or perhaps just get a Ruger Alaskan in .44. I've shot a 329PD with "normal" 240gr stuff and it's very un-fun. With a Hogue X frame rubber grip it probably would be manageable. _________________ "Wherever you go, there you are." |

First off, those skid marks are from my dog. He's a pug, an old one at that. 2. Which old lady? If you live in Enumclaw, that's your problem. Is that like down on the farm? _________________ "Dedication, perseverance, commitment and tenacity are the traits you will find in those who finish and achieve their dreams."

I wouldn't do a short .357. You don't get a lot of velocity from a 2 inch barrel. Not a huge amount better than a .38 and a +P 9mm from a 3 inch is about the same. Putting a .357 into a 2 inch is like taking a V8 but never going past 3rd gear. Lots of noise, but not much speed.
