If your are not stuck on new... look for a S&W model 66. Stainless .357mag that you can shoot .38 spl in as well.

No! but I've owned five Pre 64 Model 70's over the years ! My first was a 1956 vintage 243 with a factory stainless varmint barrel .

Congratulations!!

We went to RSA last Sept and indeed used a service to get the gun permits done ahead of time. The good thing was that the folks helping us with the permit met us at the airport and took us to the front of the line to get the guns checked out by the police. I took a Super Redhawk and T/C Encore...

Welcome abroad!!

When it comes down to an animal attack such as bear. You have to do with what youve got. Its better to have a knife than no knife. As a last resort a knife may make the difference between life or death. While one good stab may not kill the bear, it may deter it enough to end the attack.
