i needa find a ruger blackhawk .44 mag by bow season....no sense in havin a double action....you tend to lose accuracy with them, it seems, from my own experience.....course, i wouldn't mind havin a S&W 500...hehe....if i run outta ammo before the bear's dead, i can finish the job with the gun itself....10 1/2" barrel....hehehe....nah....44 mag's plenty for me....just needa come up w/ the money to buy one somewhere....
