6 dead, dying or obsolete handgun cartridges. An article by Field n Stream.

I had a 3 inch revolver in 41 mag, 3 inch is about the perfect combat revolver and 41 mag out of the big frame was nice to shoot.

Carried it daily for a couple years. Shouldnt have sold it.

38 Super, along with a 10mm are on my short list that I want. I'm also drooling to get a revolver in 454 Casull. Just in case that some grizzly bears decide to migrate to East Texas!

You got sasquatches out there, they keep grizz for pets. Better get that BFR in 454

.41mag? Yeah. Its dying. Good round but ammo makers never really backed it. Few guns chambered for it around.

Don't you think it was the latter that was the reason for the former?

Get an Alaskan, ported. The fireball is....impressive.

40 is alive and well.

I own 3 of the 6 on the list.

I have a Baby Browning 25 ACP. I seldom shoot it but, have several boxes of ammo on hand.

I have a Beretta 81BB 32 ACP. Very fun and pleasant gun to shoot. @Moonpie is correct, the 32 still has a following and several guns are still chambered for it. Kel-Tec discontinued their little P-32 and prices have gone through the roof for them. It's probably the smallest 32 out there.

The 40 S&W will out live us. Not my favorite cartridge but when I was able to get police trade in Glock 22's for $249, I had to have a couple. I'm happy that I did, prices have doubled on the guns and I stocked up on ammo when the prices were right. Also, I got a 9mm conversion barrel to keep it running when the ammo is gone.

Ain’t that where the Rainbow Family decided to occupy years back? Them unshaved hippy women might be easily confused for bigfooted stanksnatch.

Just imagine what that can do to a bruins skull?!?

If the bear is kind enough to turn it's head sideways and hold still instead of charging.

Note that the front of a bears skull is very sloped. Bullets fired between the eyes are too high to hit the very small brain, which is lower in the skull case. Those bullets mostly deflect.

This griz was killed by a single .22lr round fired from the side by an experienced bear hunter. The extra holes were to make sure it was dead:

When a bear is facing you, a shot up the nose will hit the brain. But just try and hit that when a bear is charging:

They forgot to list 35 Remington on their listing, but maybe it’s already an obsolete caliber, but I still have it, shoot it, and love it.

I have both 40 S&W and 41 magnum (3 revolvers and a rifle).
I don’t see 40 S&W going anywhere anytime soon.
For the 41 make them I can always re-load for the amount I actually shoot them.

Good luck with that aimed shot on a charging bear.

I have several .32s. I sure hope it's not dying.

Yep, that's one great handgun round.

Sasquatch genitalia is three times the size of that skull. It’s serious business pooping in the woods. Be on guard.
