\"Santa<\/a>

There are legitimate predators stalking the Artic, and a man should be prepared.<\/p><\/div>\n

Does Santa carry? I have no idea if jolly old St. Nick packs heat while he is out spreading joy on Christmas Eve. If not, he should think about picking himself up a gift while he is in town. I am talking about a handgun for protecting himself, Mrs. Clause, the reindeer and the elves. The North Pole isn\u2019t exactly the most hospitable environment. Other than the cold, there are the polar bears to contend with, and not the cute cuddly ones in the Coca-Cola commercials. There is also the abominable snowman to think about. And if Superman’s Fortress of Solitude is really up in the Santa’s neck of the polar waste, he might encounter all manner of evil villains out to prove their mettle against the Man of Steel.<\/p>\n

5 handguns that will get the job done up in the Arctic.<\/h2>\n
\"xx\"<\/a>

The Freedom Arms Model 83 may look old-school, but it fires some heavy modern rounds.<\/p><\/div>\n

1 Freedom Arms Model 83<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freedom Arms makes some BIG single action revolvers. They are also some of the nicest production revolvers out there. These 5 shot wheel guns come in a bunch of different calibers but Santa will want to check out the big ones. And by Big I mean BIG. .500 Wyoming Express, .475 Linebaugh, .454 Casull\u2026 Those hit hard and leave a big hole. A Yeti will think twice about eating Rudolf if the fat man in the red suit is packing one of these big bores. I am not talking about the fancy white coolers either. The single action revolver design is also hard to beat for reliability.<\/p>\n

\"xx\"<\/a>

Can any production model revolver hold a candle to S&W’s reputation for quality double action wheel guns?<\/p><\/div>\n

2 Smith and Wesson 500<\/strong><\/p>\n

They don\u2019t get any bigger than this bad boy. 5 double action rounds of pure awesome. We are talking about a 350 gr bullet traveling right at 2,000 f\/s. Magic reindeer don\u2019t move that fast! In terms of muzzle energy, the 500 S&W Magnum is the most powerful there is.<\/p>\n

Recoil could be an issue. I bet he would shake like a bowl full of jelly after a couple of rounds. But so should anything on the receiving end.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"vvb\"<\/a>

If any company rivals Smith’s quality, it is Ruger. And with a bit of work, these will last forever.<\/p><\/div>\n

3 Bowen Classic Arms\/Ruger Super Redhawk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruger Super Redhawks are nice revolvers. Ruger makes them in .480 Ruger, .454 Casull and .44 Mag.<\/p>\n

But Bowen Classic Arms can make them nicer! They do caliber conversions too. Santa can take the Redhawk up to a big 50 cal with a conversion to .50 Special or the super hard hitting .500 Linebaugh. Hamilton and the crew in Tennessee will also slick up the action and do some tricks to make a very reliable revolver even more so.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ffg\"<\/a>

I suggest getting a long holster for this thing.<\/p><\/div>\n

4 Magnum Research BFR 45\/70<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, Magnum Research makes the Big Fu… er, FIRING Revolvers (sorry Santa) in harder hitting calibers than the old school 45\/70. But Santa strikes me as an old school kind of dude. I bet he has on old Sharps in 45\/70 already. Heck, he probably has an elf detailed over to reloading. So picking something in a caliber he already has can simplify things. It is not like 45\/70 is a slouch and the fire ball that will come out of the barrel should scare any monstrous snowmen away, or melt them.<\/p>\n

\"vvb\"<\/a>

Now this is old school. But it will dispatch a wounded reindeer.<\/p><\/div>\n

5 Uberti Colt Walker<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original hand cannon is the Colt Walker. Colt hasn\u2019t made them in over 150 years but our friends in Italy make a great copy with modern materials. So why a blackpowder revolver for Santa? I am not 100% sure he can buy a handgun in the US. The North Pole isn\u2019t exactly a territory. Maybe he gets a work visa every year to make his deliveries. But if he can\u2019t pass a 4473, what is he to do?! Blackpowder guns are exempt from ATF regulations. Santa can even have one of these bad boys shipped to his door. The Uberti Walker is no slouch either. We are talking .357 Mag type power from a revolver designed back in the 1840s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So there you go Santa. Yes they are all revolvers. In my opinion, the revolver is where it is at for power and reliability when in bear country. Or crazed snowmen, rabid reindeer or maybe a demonic Narwhal bent on skewering up some elves.[full_width]\"Santa<\/a>[\/full_width]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
