Go read the link carefully and stop trying to justify this insanity. There are few stories on there how small caliber handguns do not do the job even the .44 Magnum doesn’t get it done all the time. Killing varmints and human intruders is a job the 57 does well. I like the 57 it is an excellent weapon and I intend to get one. However it is not meant to deal with bears, moose or any large dangerous animals period. The bullet mass of the 57x28 round (even the military version) is too light and its penetration effects does not have the power to make the massive wounds required to severely wound or kill a large animal like the big hardcast slugs can. Even the lower velocity heavies are superior in this regard as they put one big mass right on target with nearly a ton or more of muzzle energy.
Some gun owners really go overboard and think their weapon of choice can do more than it really can. Many people go to war thinking that their weapons system can do all these things but the reality of combat often proves those theories wrong no matter how well thought out as the unexpected usually happens. The voice of experience always proves true.
Your typo hysterically enhances your point.
Here, I’ve got some extras you can use: ...
I did.
“Fish and Game dispatched a problem bear and cleaned a grizzly in Anchorage that had a multitude of 9mm under his pelt.”Seems that the multitude of 9mm didn't kill the problem bear but the problem bears didn't appear to harm the human(s) they were causing problems to either. Therefore, the 9mm did it's job as intended. Furthermore, old timers managed to get by with single shot black powder.
All this having been said, If I'm ever fortunate enough go salmon fishing in Alaska, I'll carry a large bore sidearm on my side while fishing. When on the way to and from the fishing spot, I'll have my short barreled 12 guage handy.
