[QUOTE="kgarrett, post: 3032974, member: 123496"] Since no pistol is a 'bear stopper' - all are puny compared to any rifle hunting cartridge - get the one you'd carry the most and shoot the most accurately and confidently. For most people this is a 10 mm semiauto. Unless you're already are revolver fan, I don't think the weight/recoil are worth it. Bears have been stopped with a 9 mm pistol, but I wouldn't choose to go smaller than a 10 mm or 357 revolver myself. And, if I chose a revolver it would be a 44 or bigger. Just no advantage over a semiauto otherwise. Projectile selection is probably just as important as cartridge selection… [/QUOTE]
