Do you need that much performance to lug around? The gun is lots heavier and while it can shoot .45 Colt, or any load up to hand numbing .454's, what are you wanting to do? If I was worried about Bears I could justify the added power of the .454. If I wanted to carry a powerful gun and not really think about it I'd get a nice shorter DA or SA in .44 Magnum.

Are you a .45 guy? I'm a .44 boy and really dislike the .454 recoil and blast, personally. If I want that much power I move up to a .475 or .510. They are actually LIGHTER than a .454, bigger hole!
