Having covered the retreat of my wife and I from a berry patch that a black bear had title to, the Redhawk x 44 Magnum didn't seem all that powerful and comprehensive at the time. It was "just a black bear", and he DID get the bulge on us--mostly because we couldn't see him. We could hear him up close, and smell him--and things like critters that can tear you a new aspiration are among those preternatural low-brain instinctive parts of one's psyche that you prefer to not have stirred up. %$# *&^% bear.
