Nitro: I remember reading that when George Adamson of "Born Free" notoriety was ambushed he used a .38 revolver against the AK-armed bandits/murderers. He lost of course.

I am guessing that there are a LOT of ex-service weapons...Webley's, Enfields, Smith and Wesson M&P .38/200's and .38 Specials in the possession of pros and locals as well. I remember .38/200 S&W's were cheap when I was in RSA '88-'89. I almost bought one.

Capstick referenced Bob Langeveldt strolling along after a cull, just for insurance, popping downed elephant with a Browning High Power.
