Most of the guides I knew when I was in Alaska would use either 44 or 357 with hard cast bullets. They all said semis were unreliable in rough country. What has changed?

If you had read the article you’d have seen his comment on the trigger of his gun to be great.

The stock triggers on these pistols are very good to begin with. Under stress your finger can’t tell the difference between an 8 pound or 4 1/2 trigger.

I am at a loss to explain changing the trigger from stock. These guns are designed to carry for protection. The need to add a precision trigger to a pistol that’s designed to be pulled and fired under stress to me is needless money spent. These pistols weren’t designed to shoot bullseye...

Aren’t you afraid of confiscation after a self defense shooting? I wouldn’t ever carry a gun I paid that money for.

I actually have been struck by lightning through my fishing pole on a day when the closest dark clouds were 10 miles away. It jumped or I threw it from the back of a 21 foot boat all the way to the front. It split the top of the rod and the last ferrule is lost forever. Hasn’t stopped me from...

How do you keep that Browning in such nice shape? It looks brand new.

Well now, you can tell by the wear on your equipment that you do “actually” carry your gun.
