.357 mag revolver or a .44 mag revolver.
Simple, effective and never break down.

Great line, great delivery, but inaccurate. The .454 Casull, for one.
was and is "more powerful."

Not sure, but I don't think that load existed at the time the movie was
made.


Dick Casull developed the .454 Casull in 1957 and announced it in 1959
in Guns and Ammo magazine. If I'm on your "holiday shopping list," I'd
like a 454 wheelgun from Freedom Arms.

Can you afford to shoot it? What is it now, $3.50 per shot?

About a buck and a half, I think. I looked it up once in the Natchez
catalog. Just for grins.

It's a silly caliber, unless you're out in the woods somewhere, and you
run across a hungry, large bear.

Have you seen the new piece offered by Ruger? 5 shot .454, 3" barrel. A last
resort gun for people who spend lots of time in serious bear country. Just
read a review where the guy said is "wasn't so bad to shoot". Right. And I'm
the king of Denmark.
