What is your Back-up weapon?
« on: March 31, 2012, 07:09:15 AM »
I was just wondering what everyone uses for a back-up?  I have a Ruger GP 100 .357 but I did not feel it was big enough for black bear so I went out and bought a Ruger Rehawk 4inch .44 mag.

Fir is a good choice, a great deal of foregiveness before it breaks allowing for a above average whip.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

The tp will work well if it is used.  Or it could cause confusion for the bear.

I carry a Super Blackhawk 7 1/2"...wish I would have gone shorter, maybe even the Alaskan.
I worry about belonging to a club that accepts people like me as members.
