Re: back up pistol for bears

No Hommer, we're definitely out of our depths here, but I reckon the 92 is a great little rifle. Where would Hollywood be without it giving the cowboys a sexy substitute for the big ol' Henry, 66 and 73 that really covered the wild west? This reminds me: it tickled me, when reading 'Lonesome Dove', that McMurtry thought the Henry was a powerful rifle.

Getting back to the subject, have I mentioned on this thread the Ruger .41 mag revolver I borrowed as back-up in Wyoming in 1986? It was good and heavy with a 7.5-inch barrel and tended to drag my trousers down a bit. A single action, of course, so I could have been in extra trouble had a bear bitten off my thumb.
