I haven't read though the thread, but this is my take on it. And this is coming from a guy that started out with a smith 29-2 when he was 14 years old. IF you can handle that big behemoth, be my guest!!!!!! It wouldn't be my first pick, nor would any of the ones you list. I personally would be better off with my XDM40 with 16 rounds at hand and extra mags (if need be), because I know I can hit what I'm aiming with that thing...I remember a discussion here a while back that centered on personal protection against large predators while hunting. It sprang up from the deaths of a few people due to grizzly attacks, particularly while field dressing game. People were talking about something with grizzly stopping power that was somewhat convenient to carry. Solutions ranged from large pistols to sawed off lever guns.
This morning my mind was brought back to that discussion by an article in "American Rifleman" talking about a Magnum Research BFR pistol that can be had in .45-70 caliber, and customized with things like a 3" octagon barrel. This seems like a perfect solution to the previous question. What do you guys think?

Which is exactly what your going to get right after that grizz gets ahold of you! Guns like this kind of remind me of a guy with huge balls and a tiny winy whacker! Just looks like a unworkable design!Ever so wacky; I like it. A .45/70 out of a 3" barrel; I've got to imagine that is going to be loud and bright. Like a religious vision or something.
The pistol can be custom ordered with any length barrel and several different grips and other options.I understand the theory of making it lighter, but I'd prefer a bit more barrel length myself.
I used to have a 500 S&W with the 5" barrel. It was so heavy I'd just as soon carry my shotgun or a rifle carried on a sling. (I can roll the sling of my shotgun off of my left shoulder faster than I can draw a handgun from a good field holster)
I'd shoot that sucker if someone handed it to me, but I'm thinking this would be the time for muffs and plugs!
At $2700 for the rifle I would have to find another solution.Cute harmless little teddy bear,

7mm Rem. Mag. BAR is ideal under such circumsatances.

I'll still take the semi-auto 7mm Mag though... that way I can get Boo-Boo, Yogi, AND Pedo Bear if they all charge me at once. (As long as it's not from different directions... For that, you'll need full-auto. (hmm... Now there's a thought - can I get a mil BAR in 7mm Rem. Mag.?)
Officially, BFR stands for Big Frame Revolver."Big Freakin Revolver" is just a cover story for the true meaning of BFR...
