1. This derringer is NOT a bear gun. You can’t just stick a big cartridge in a tiny gun, and still get enough power to do the job it was designed to do. Yu can et a real handgun that is suitable for bar at a much lower price. You can also get one small enough to easily carry, but big engh to handle he job.

   This thing is, at best, a dangerous novelty.

2. I shoot a 45/70 guide gun quite often. The derringer would be last resort in bear country when the bear is up close and personal. I do carry the 45/70 guide gun when fishing in bear country just as a precaution.

   It does not really kick all that much with proper handling and such now the derringer may be a little troublesome but when your life is on the line it would be better then nothing.

3. What about carrying a 1892 “MARES LEG”, 9″ .44WRM Carbine ?

4. i think it is the greatest small gun ever made, i have several, both 45-70 up and 45 long colt down and double 45-70. i prefer the the double 45-70 and shoot it often, and can hit a coffee can at 15 yards almost all the time, it is a dandy little, overcoat gun and is always right there, i dont find it hard to handle with standard loads and enjoy the extra security, great gun!!!! george in alaska

6. Also not having a thousand bucks to spend on an S&W 500, I WAS thinking of getting a used Ruger Super blackhawk .44 mag six shooter, for $500, that I saw at a local pawn shop, as a, (MAYBE- hopefully), acceptable grizzly bear gun. But, in a surprise attack situation, I think that by the time you pulled that multi-pound Blackhawk, with the 10.5 inch barrel, out of its holster, you’d be lucky to get more than one shot off, in time, anyway, (ever see “The Revenant” movie?) -lol – And, with this derringer thing, you could still have that nice .45 long colt to save for yourself.
