Why Nashville Had No Looters during the recent flooding By the way I DO NOT condone drinking and the handling of weapons! For those of you who know me out there know that to be the truth. Ride hard you can rest when you die
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a
pretty and well preserved body but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly
used up totally worn out and loudly proclaiming man what a ride!

I can't tell for sure but it looks like the guy to the left of the sign is holding one nasty looking .44 Magnum.
i'm surprised there is no scope on it
It almost looks like a damned Buntline Special in .44.
It's a Ruger Super Redhawk
Interesting piece of hardware. That Alaskan Model would be nice for some of my remote fishing holes as there are both bear and cougar to worry about.

I would recommend a short barreled 12 ga pump instead because the Alaskan Model Redhawk's abbreviated barrel makes for a goddam brutal muzzle blast. Unless you intend to fish while wearing hearing protection or compromise the power of the loads you stuff in the revolver, the heaviest loads in the shortest barrels looks good in the movies but the real life consequences are too often regretted forever. A friend of mine owned a South Carolina gun store when Dirty Harry was first released and he sold a bunch of Model 29's to young men (of course). Many of them returned to trade them back because they missed an important clue in the film-Harry shot "a light special load" in his S&W, and the boys damaged their hearing finding that a .44 mag with full house loads is not a quick draw self defense/plinking gun unless you'd also be willing to let someone hit you in the ears with two baseball bats whenever emergencies arise.... The distance from your ears to the muzzle of a pump shotgun compared to the proximity of the unbelievably brutal blast from the .44's muzzle and cylinder gap is the diff between coming away relatively the same or having unnecessarily depreciated your assets. Even in a life or death situation I'd rather have a gun that does more damage out front and less to me. Cougar are thin skinned critters but bear can come really big boned, and I wouldn't choose any handgun over my Remington Wingmaster with an 18"bbl and synthetic stock. The gun is light and fast and even fired from the hip is more likely to score an anchoring hit on an aggressive sow with cubs. My Model 19 .357 S&W snubby with heavy loads would make my ears bleed with the heaviest loads, and I wouldn't dream of firing a .44 Alaskan with the right loads for bear. The short barrel means that I won't get the maximum energy because unburned powder is blasted out of the short barrel before the bullet has reached max velocity. So, the heaviest loads in the shortest barrel is the worst of both worlds, and when facing toothy, clawy critters only the heaviest loads will do. While it is true that black bears have turned and run from .38 shots (and were then found dead down the trail) a sow with cubs is hardwired to kill every living thing that eyeballs her precious cub(s), so we must assume that she won't quit until one of you is dead.
