It may be to prevent over penetration ?

Living/shooting in a city could have a need to change what a person is throwing around.
I didn't like and got rid of the 44Mag I had at one time , that's where the .357 Blackhawk came from. That 44Mag was teaching me BAD HABBITS that was destroying ACCURACY .
Heck ! The .357 full power loads stings in the hand when it goes off , and it's a good idea to wear hearing protection when shooting them.
Bob was talking about Black Bear . I'm not sure a Pistol/Revolver is going to stop a Grizzly ??? Well , there ain't no Grizzly Bears here , and I'm OK with that just like it is .

.................
Are we planning a ride to Grizzly country ? If so ??? we need to bring you along OldFeller . We might put our bikes in a truck to get there if you want to ?
Remember the video of the Japanese old guys that go bike ridding on their 125's ?
I like 125 size bikes !

The last one I had was about 10 years ago (GN125) it was a fun little machine !
