Carried by my grandfather in WWII as a tank crewman and the inspiration for the Brad Pitt sidearm in the movie "Fury"...

Ah, those were the days. 20 years sober now and I still remember.....at least I think I do.....hmm.....maybe I don't.....okay, never mind.

LOL, beats the heck outa me. How come you always ask the hard questions? Got the term from "someone" else is all I know. But if there really needs to be a definition for it this could be one: A type of cryptid, yeah, that's it, that's the ticket. Maybe even a Bigfoot whose ice cream cone melted on a hot summer day and the only recourse was to drink the liquid outa da cone? Ergo....um....a cone drinker. Case closed

Hello everyone. I’ve been interested in Bigfoot for many years. I’ve watched many of the available documentaries and shows available and I’m looking to learn what I can here on the forum.

And a danged good head honcho, too. gigantor has made being a member here a truly enjoyable experience. I may even consider taking up cone drinking just to keep the man happy

How many can say they own a .45ACP revolver?

I have a 458 SOCOM upper my son n law is using now.

Excellent post, My Friend! Every word was spot on! I love my 44 magnum, and it's my favorite snowmobile gun, riding in a covered holster on the handlebars for nasty moose on the trail. Been there, but with a 5-shot 357, and both the moose and I were not impressed. But when hunting with my long gun and around hunting camp (with the long gun nearby), that 10mm is my favorite sidearm, by far. So far, my most disturbing solo bear encounter was with a mature black bear boar, and twice at ranges of 4' away and 6' away, and in the dark or near dark. He wanted my dog. I had a 338 WinMag rifle with short barrel and open sights, specifically built as a bear defense rifle. I've killed large black bears with that rifle......one shot kills. But if I'd had that 10mm Glock with attached light and tritium sights that night, I'd felt just as well armed.......maybe better because of the light, the visible sights, and the bottomless magazine.

Our old butcher for a long time used a 22 mag rifle. Sometime bulls required two shots. But cows, sheep and hogs all fell to that rifle. But that’s standing in a corral, with the animal not under stress looking at you. The kill is swift and clean. He didn’t want to tear up the head in case you wanted the skull and he didn’t want any over penetration that could screw up the neck meat. I don’t think a Domestic animal butcher setting is on the same playing field as a charging Grizzly. (That tire they were using to simulate the charging Bear is a damn good training tool. Maybe do push ups or jumping jacks to get your heart rate up as well) With that said? Again, getting hits with a 10mm versus misses with a .44 or larger hand cannon? 10 mm wins! Obviously with the smaller the caliber it will be a equation of diminishing returns. But I’m sure a .380 auto stuck in the mouth of a Griz is going to give him a very bad day. I just don’t wanna dance with the bastard. People lose body parts that way. I like my .44 because I can shoot grouse with shotshells too. I haven’t found any .460 Rowland shotshells yet. I hope the day never comes that I have to try to defend myself from a Griz. But their numbers are rising and soon they will be off the endangered species list in the lower 48.

There is an option that makes the votes "public", but I have it turned off. I figure if somebody wants to make their choice public, they can post it here. Why are you trying to dox the coke drinkers?

Hey I'm Connor from PA. I've always been interested in what's out here in these woods. I've always been interested in folklore and wanting to figure more about bigfoot and other stories.

I built this AR in .450 Bushmaster as a woods carbine and I would feel adequately armed against a grizzly with it in my hands... My collection of "woods" calibers that I reloaded. Left to right; .45-70 govt with 515 gr hard cast, .450 Bushmaster with 250 gr FTX, .45 Colt with 300 gr hard cast, 10mm with 200 gr hard cast, and .40 S&W with 180 gr XTP.

High speed camera. The hammer just dropped and is about to explode the primer! 🧐 No, no, you cap em in the knee! I think the idea is that hits are better than misses. So if you can hit under duress with a .454? Kudos. If you can’t? Yer gonna have to go get something smaller and more manageable. Pistols don’t give me any warm and fuzzies. I would prefer a rifle in my hands in an encounter.

I've a healthy dose of skepticism regarding the subject, but am not quite so wont to douse other's desire to research on their own efforts. Perhaps consider not being such a Debbie Downer.
