[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2629316, member: 9299"] Through the years, I have read numerous stories of bears being shot and wounded with lesser calibers, and often, if the person lived through the event, they stated the ability to get off more shots, faster, and ease of carry as their reasons for that pistol/caliber. There are many times I carry an auto for local bear/cat protection, but it is a modified 1911 in 45 Super with either 230 or 250gr Hard Cast bullets. Other times when I know the risk of encounter is greater, it is my 44 mags with 300gr Hard Cast or the Ruger 45 Colts with 300's driven hard. A few times I have carried one of my 4 inch 357 Mags, but is loaded with 180gr hard cast bullets I handload very heavy. - YMMV [/QUOTE]
