I remember when the .44 mag was THE revolver for big and dangerous game. I got mine for griz pro. Sure, bigger is usually better for griz, but mine gives me the peice of mind that I need when hiking. If I was SURE I'd have a run-in with an angry bruin, then I'd have my 12 gauge slug gun along. I did want a .454, but after careful consideration and reading the posts of many on this board, I don't think I want to subject my wrist to that kind of damage. My .44 will do fine...
