They come in a variety of calibers. If I do recall, the baby-DE was in 9mm, .40, and .45; with the DE being in .357, .44mag, and .50. I may be off, be they tried to embrace all the popular calibers.

True, but I don't operate out of collecting. Every one of my weapons has a unique purpose. Every one of my handguns, rifles, and shotguns is a tool. I've used or carried every one of my guns so far this June, except for my bird hunting shotguns, simply because we are out of season. If I'm not using, needing, or carrying it, then it's not much use.

Same thing happened to me!

Nope. Don't need it. Like ShootDontTalk said, I have little ned for a pistol more powerful than a .44 magnum. If more power is required, then I need a rifle.

If my .45 isn't enough, then I'm in a heap of trouble. Granted whenever I visit bear country, I lean towards the Ruger Super Blackhawk .44mag. Anything more than that requires a rifle in my book. Played with a S&W 500, but it wasn't any fun. It was awesome watching fire bricks pop, but the pain negated the fun factor.

Go with a .44, or carry a shotgun or rifle!
