Umm Daryl , don't you think the shot would have woken them (the inmates) unless you had one of those nifty Tv silencers screwed on ? LoL

Thank you for the post & story , I was going to get a AMT long slide Hard Baller in 45 Super to use as back up , but it only would have been useful (?) on pigs & I wanted it for Bovines & Crocs (Hanging off my or custmers leg) so carryed a 44Mag S&W for a while , it had a crap holster , which made carrying it a pain !

Holsters are a big thing , often over looked .




I never fired more than one or two shots in an evening, whether on the bears or at the danged house cats that lived around there and scratched up the tanks and bags on our MC's.

A single shot would wake them up for sure, but they never complained that I heard of - with 2 shots or more shots & I'm sure they'd have raised a stink. Provincial jail - short timers, not Federal.

I packed my M29 but only ever shot the odd feline with it. Ended up shooting 8 bears there one fall - all with rifles except for the one with the .45 ACP.

The holster would be vitally important for a long time carry and whether walking or riding would also come into the equation.

My issue "bomber jacket" had inside pockets that held the short barreled revolver comfortably. Access wasn't too bad, nothing fast, but fast wasn't needed.

Big fat bullets do amazing things.
