My current "work in the boonies" gun is a custom ruger redhawk 44 mag that I feed the 330gr Hammerheads from Garrett Inc to. If the critter is too big for that I'm not sticking around to argue the finer points of the food chain with em.
I do have a Custom .500 Linebaugh Bisley and am looking to have a Redhawk chambered in that caliber also as it has come to pass that I favor a double action revolver vs the single action for a camp/backup handgun when in dangerous game ville.
Of course that is only if I can't lay hands on my rifle or camp shotgun loaded with slugs. IMHO this S&W 500 is just too friggin big to be anything short of a slung hunting handgun. Carried on my waist for any given length of time I'll need hip surgery. That's a huge bitch !!
Stay Safe !

I confess publicly to never having shot a pistol beyond a .44 magnum in power. I love big wheelguns and would enjoy the opportunity.
Looks like there is a lot to choose from nowadays and the S/W 50 is the current king of the hill is it not?...stock that is...
My favorite "pistol" ever was the old Bushy Armspistol we had as a boatgun.....with a 30 round bananna. It got sold sadly...
I am quite happy with the matching Vaqueros we have in 44mag and 45LC now....single action has to become second nature....it's a learned skill no doubt.
