Just buy a chrome Desert Eagle XIX in .50! It kills everything in video games!

Easy to conceal, low recoil, plentiful ammo, and tank-stopping power!



...

For smaller animals (large meaning bears, moose) I recommend an appropriate .357 Magnum round such as Federal Hydra Shok, Winchester SXT, or any heavy cast lead bullet.

Just about any double action .357 revolver will do nicely. The seven-shot ported Taurus Tracker Titanium is inexpensive, light, and accurate. Being a revolver, it is also 99% reliable. Just aim and squeeze the trigger. No mags, no feed ramp, no ejection, no slide, no recoil spring. Drop the hammer on a bad round? No sweat, just squeeze the trigger again.

Your ideas and mileage may vary. Bigger isn't always better, but it might make you feel such.

Cougar says: "Generally speaking... I'm more scared of you than you are me... and that shiny thing you have in your hand that makes a loud noise? Yeah, that's pretty friggin' scary too. You don't even have to hit me with the projectiles it produces and I usually get the point that I shouldn't be doing things near you."

Never fired one of these freakish revolvers, but it is really friggin' heavy for what it does and has the same barrel length as my J-frame snubbie.
