If you like the Ruger style and want something more then a 44, you [I]really[/I] need to check out the BFR. You could probably get a BFR in 480/475 for what you'll pay for a Ruger 454 and IMO, I'd rather have the 475 linebaugh than the 454 as a sidearm in grizzly country. Whatever sidearm I chose, I would also carry bear spray.

I own several Ruger revolver's ranging from 22-44 and love them all but not one has the stock action that compares to the my stock BFR. You talk about smooth.
