Dan Wesson .445 Supermag, probably second is T/C Contender in .35 Remington, .44 Remington Magnum or .45 Long Colt.

Interesting article! It happens that in the last few weeks I visited a friend's gunshop. He showed me a tanker carbine he had on consignment. It was equipped with a scope and a flash hidder similar to a Brithish jungle carbine. He advised he expected it to sell in the $3000 to $4000 range.

A very good article! As a police officer and firearms instructor for 32 years and an academy firearms instructor for an additional 10 years, I experienced the changes in training inspired by these incidents. It is far better to learn from the mistakes of others than to make the same mistakes...

There has been a mountain lion seen within 2 miles of my house here in Mid-Michigan. A neighbor 2 miles away saw it in his horse pasture about four years ago. It has been caught on game cameras several times since then. Last year they captured a picture of 2 mountain lions on a game camera...

I have been carrying concealed for 50 years. I have two totes of the holsters purchased over the years. My preference is for a IWB Desantis Cozy Partner. It is a leather holster and I have a model for several of my EDC guns.

I think I would be chucking rocks if unarmed in this situation. But on the other hand I carry 99.9% of the time and definitely in areas with predators (2 or 4 legged). 😁

Great article! I have mentioned before that my Marlin 1894 C in 357 is one I love to carry and shoot. It has killed more whitertail deer than any of my other rifles. It is short, light ,fast handling and accurate. Th he only draw back is that maximum effective range is about 150 yard's...

You forgot the whatumacallits. ;) (Great minds think alike Joe.)

I have never owned nor shot a .25 ACP. Years ago a friend told about an incident he witnessed in a bar. A big burly guy and a little guy got into an argument. The little guy pulled a .25 ACP and shot the big guy. The big guy beat the little guy to a pulp and then walked to the ambulance when...

Nice kit. Wild West Guns in Alaska had a similar kit a few years ago. Their take down was a larger caliber. Good thing I am not a pilot as I would probably have to have one of those. :)

I think if I could only have one firearm that it would be a .357 Magnum revolver. It is truly an all round general purpose handgun. Shooting 38 Special rounds for plinking and the .357 Magnums for serious work. Luckily we don't have those limitations yet. :)

Good luck on finding any rifles in stock. From what I have heard from a couple of dealers they have a hard time ordering specific rifles. They advised distributors contact them and tell them what stock they have from which to order. Ammunition is pretty much the same.

Good article on the Glock 20. My Glock 20 is set up similar to the author's including the drop in 40 S&W barrel. I also carried it in a chest rig on my last hunt in Alaska. Previously I always carried my Dan Wesson .445 Supermag. I felt comfortable that either would be enough for a grizzly...

Very good article on the 357 Magnum. The first duty gun I purchased was a S&W Model 19 four inch. A true joy to shoot. I bought its companion Marlin 1894 in 357 Magnum when it first came out. Both shoot 158 grain JSP with deadly accuracy. Have killed numerous whitetail deer with both. I...

Just a tweak on the old Bianchi speed strip. Still carry one when using my S&W Model 49 as EDC. Only advantage appears to be being able to load 3 at a time rather than 2 with Bianchi speed strip. Also Bianchi speed strips work on J-frame and K-frames. . Speed loaders are faster but a little...

Good article. Here in Michigan you are required to inform if you come into contact with an officer. I have not been stopped since I retired. If I was stopped I would advise the officer officer that I was a retired officer with a CPL ( Concealed Pistol License) and that I was armed. The...

Very Nice Killer! Bought my Model 19 4 inch about the same time 1973. It immigrated to Alaska and is carried by my daughter-in-law as her woods gun. Still have my Dan Wesson 15 with 2", 4", 6" and 8" barrels. Should get that out of the safe and give it some exercise. 357 Mag is hard to beat. 😀

I have shot a S&W 500, also 444 Marlin and 45 Mag in T/C. Not fond of any of them. I will stick with my Dan Wesson 445 Supermag. Has 1/10 inch longer case than 44 Reminton Magnum. My 300 grain hard cast bear rounds will go through a 4x6 piece of oak on either direction. Recoil is noticeable...

My backpack rifle is a Charter Arms AR-7 .22 LR semi-auto that comes apart and stores in it's floating stock. It has been to Alaska with me on several trips. Makes a great survival or small game rifle. I think Henry Rifle Company manufacture them now.

My shooting partner shoots F Class competition. He has a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmor and a Savage Mod 12 (?) also in 6.5 Creedmor. He has a Leapold scope on one and a Burris scope on the other. Both are tack drivers. He spent about the same on the scopes as he paid for the rifles...
