  6" 41mag. The bear guides in this area of northern Maine all carry 41mags claiming it will drop a black bear quicker than a 44mag. A .357mag is too light for black bear.

  I would go with a .44 Mag. Only 44 mag Colt ever had on the market was the Anaconda which is a great firearm, but rather pricy.
  
  Lots of .44 mag. Smiths out there.

  What's wrong with the Ruger Redhawk?

  In the woods when not carrying a rifle, I carry a Smith 629 Classic, 44 mag. or Ruger Blackhawk flat top .357 mag.
