Who ever was carrying the S&W 460 knew what they were doing! He went with the ported short barrel to get it out of holster quickly to dispatch threats. I had 454 casull & next time buying the 460 which will allow further range the use of 460, 454 & 45 long colt ammo. Hand loading is a must for cost , bullet weight selection & loads taylored to the gun type of hunting & you.

Mark ( big man ) bought it for bears in Alaska on his motorcycle trip . His Dad reloads them . At the range he was saying the 460 is good against Polar bears , and not just Grizzly bears .

Thanks Nastee, yea I have to find some friends into the sport. I must say that is one of the very much addicting sports. It’s a rush firing a gun. Come to think of it the only thing that gives me a bigger rush is riding the Busa

up in the Yukon and NWT they say to count your shots when shooting Grizzlies and Polar Bears. If you get to the. last round and it's still not dead Place the gun against your head and pull the trigger
Its quicker and less painful.

I can cut out bad toe nails , set broken compound bones , and stop bleeding on myself , and have . I don't think I could ever off myself even faced with that . Rather die fighting . On a realistic scope though you wont find me anywhere close to a polar bear except a zoo . Grizzly maybe , but you can count ill have one serious long gun , and pistol if in their area .up in the Yukon and NWT they say to count your shots when shooting Grizzlies and Polar Bears.

Just bought my first gun, a Glock 17. Not sure about a concealed carry - that's a huge responsibility. I'm not a gun-ho sort, but these days it seems negligent to not invest in some last resort protection. Hopefully I will find shooting it fun and get very proficient with it. Nervous about the fact that most guns shoot their owners. Also running into the wrong cop with it in the car on holster.
Smart to get yourself lots of shooting experience, there must be many courses you can take to help. Hand guns can be the most dangerous weapon as they are short and the muzzle is hard to control unlike a long gun.
Although I have shot hand guns quite a bit and am very good with them, I don't own one as here in Canada they are a pain in the arse to own.

It is also recommended to have your rifle and hand gun in the same calibre. If you need to reload, thereis not often time to remember which is where
When I was up in Thompson MB polar bears use to migrate south of us. Sometimes right through the town. They are big mofo's
We had a sign on the inside of the door. "Once past this door you are part of the food chain.".. We use to chuckle about it. But it kept us on our toes.

How true. At least it isn't impossible, just a pain.

Hmmm. If you mean 10 guage slugs. You might need to be closer than you'd like. I've never fired a 460 but we are back to the two calibres issue
Do they make a rifle in a 460..
We gave both bears a wide berth because there is nothing on the planet they are afraid of
I did once shoot a 44 mag with an 8 in barrel. I thought I'd broken my wrist
I never did hit the target lol

Best advice I can offer is never, ever pull a gun unless you fully intend to kill the person you are drawing on. And regarding the police keep your hands in plain view at all times, speak clearly and slowly, don't act or speak aggressively. Most cops are good people who want to go home at the end of their shift, in the vast majority of my experience if you're respectful and calm everything will be fine.

Carry Permit! Look into it for your state then you are covered. My state with permit gun can be on person, in car in holster in car loaded or not I still have control over gun. The gun can be loaded on my person why not loaded in my glove box, storage area for transport. Just know the law if you travel to another state they can be very different!!!! No do overs or I didn't knows. A number of states also reciprocate or acknowledge the permits of other states with no further action or fees. 13 states across the country do this no questions asked but they are not connected so you have to follow the rules of each state you pass through. Example Northern states generally officers don't want to see a fire arm out in the open usually furthest rear portion of vehicle or trunk unloaded separate from ammo. Down south at least years ago they want the firearm in plain site on the passenger seat they want to be able to see it /know it is present. Do the opposite for either and its a big problem.

[/QUOTE]Not my 1st choice yes a 10gage slug is the biggest riffle bullet going but most wont want to shoot to many of that round me included (have one); usually are single shot or side by side so get that idea out of your rolodex as most wont practice enough with it. The calibers don't need to match as what you have holstered is already loaded has at least 5 or more shots in addition to rifle.
