Richard, When I lived in Alaska I only carried a 22 pistol for bears but I always went with another person. I figured if we were attacked by a bear I would shoot the other guy in the leg and I would only have to out run him and not the bear. Cheers, Tom

Roger that on the Unique Harry. You could totally fragment some guns with an overload of that stuff...

Tom: that joke gets used a LOT amongst geologists up here, especially when we're about to go into the field with a totally green assistant geo...

Gentle men 2 of these S&W 629's have blown up in the same exact way in the last few years at our local handgun range, thankfully no one has gotten hurt! It seems that both blew when shooting handloaded target loads, the theory is that they back burned when fired, just like the 38 special load of 2.7 bullseye, wich I shoot regularly but a handful of guns have turned into handgernades! I notice that all the guns blowing up with low power target loads are all stainless? It seems that there is a weakness in the material, maybe it doesn't have enogh elasticity? anyway yours is not the first or last to blow up, take care Dale in Canada
