Semi-related to this thread…
If you haven’t read ‘American Buffalo’ by Steven Rinella, I highly recommend it.

James, is that the grip of a second gun I see sticking out of a cross draw?

The only area that I believe the 44 is better than the 41 is when we get to heavy bullets. For a bison I think we need heavy bullets. I truly love the 41 mag but in this case I would choose your 44 mag with a 300+ grain bullet.
475... even better!

I absolutely love my FA 83 475L
Buy the FA, you definitely would not regret it. If for no other reason than to add another gun to the collection. 😎

Dick Dick, To be honest I can`t remember if I was carrying a belt gun that day but for that hunt I should have cause if things go wrong with a big bison you`ll need it. Here he is mounted over the TV. That`s a pretty good size wart hog next to him.... I was trying to show someone the sight set up on my S&W Mtn. Gun in 45 Colt...

For .41s, if you have a 6.5" or longer barrel and use a 250-265 grain hard cast bullet and a bunch of H110 it will work. My 250s are running 1450+- fps from a 5.5-6".
Gary Reeder and his customers have killed every kind of buffalo with a 255 Cast Performance bullet out of .410 GNR revolvers...

Thanks Bob, just gathering opinions, the hunt is still a year off and the planning is half the fun.
