I know there has been lots of discussion about this on here, and on every gun forum that has ever been on the internet.
So, here goes, is my .44 magnum enough gun for anything in the lower 48 states, even up to grizzly bear, not that I'll ever encounter a grizzly. The .44 being properly loaded of course. Reason I am asking is that I also have a .454 Casull, but really I am not sure its a gun I really need. It's cool to have and fun to shoot (for a short while), but is it needed? I am not quite to the point of selling it yet, but the thought has entered my mind more than once.
I bought the .454 with the thought of getting to Alaska at some point in my life, the gun was at a gun shop, brand new, I saw it, wanted it and walked out with it.
I would mainly carry the .44, hiking, camping, woods bumming and backcountry fly fishing. I live in KS but a lot of my activities are enjoyed in Colorado.
