RE: BIG! Predator Protection! (B.P.P)
If I wanted a very powerful but packable handgun for dangerous game protection there are really only a coupleI would consider.
#1. Ruger Alaskan in 44 mag, 480 Ruger or 454 Cassull.
#2. S&W emergency survival kit in 500S&W or 460S&W.
#3. S&W emergency survival kit model 629ES in 44 Rem mag.
