[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1186181, member: 75933"] I agree that the KO value is more important in that one chance panic shot. There are lots of rounds that can and do kill bears, some of them very large. But like it's been hashed out, if you need the protection you want knock down, not bleed out. I could carry my sig 9mm fishing for it's capacity, and with enough good hits in the right spots it could kill one of these bears. But instead I opt for 45colt +P 325gr WFN hard cast out of a rossi 92 carbine. it holds 9 rounds and shoots pretty darn fast. That way i can send some serious penetrating power into what ever needs to be stopped. I would carry my benelli, but it's kind of long and no conducive to tight fast shooting. [/QUOTE]
