A Colt-sized single action or N-frame usually gets the nod but I'm really digging the new half lug .44Spl GP-100.


I looked at one of these GP100 44s just a few minutes ago. I really liked the feel of it. Would the 44 Special have enough go juice for black bear? That and hogs would be my only concern here in GA


YES!

Problem may be finding factory ammo. Several good choices available but not on every shelf. Plenty online sources.
