Just talked to a brother Knight tonight about his carry. He carries an S&W 500. He bought it while living in Alaska to stop a Pokar Bear in case he ran into one. He’s here in North Texas now but travels a bit. He said the special rounds he uses with it cost about $4 each. I believe it’s over a 500 grain projectile.
I want to get a S&W 500, but that darn money thing keeps getting in the way. I dont think i would ever carry it into the woods just because i still want practical follow on shots, and i havent heard of CCI varmint shot beimg produced in that caliber.
I understand a long is the best option. But I’m not looking at a day hike with a long gun. I will start looking at hunting rounds vs defensive rounds for a 10mm. I might just alternate them in a magazine.
As far as revolver goes. I’m looking for decent capacity and I already EDC a striker fired pistol and am extremely familiar with the Glock platform. Hence looking at those options instead of a revolver.
I totally get that, @Orpackrat! You’d be surprised how many people I’ve talked to on the USCCA Facebook page who are adamant that revolvers cannot jam.
