[QUOTE="Rick79, post: 2538510, member: 122560"] If you are better with a semi auto vs a wheel gun, go that route. It makes zero sense to carry one you are not proficient with. I carried a .40 my first time in bear (grizzly) country and had to use it. I bought an XDM 10mm for recurring trips. The Sig 220 was what I wanted but I wasn’t able to find anything but the Legion version when I was looking, so I went with the XDM. For carry purposes, I prefer that style over a 1911. If you are proficient with a 1911 style you will have even more options in .45 or 10mm. As stated earlier, anything can possibly kill one, but I’d opt for the most power I can carry and use well. If you already have a 45 that you’re comfortable with, I’d look for the hottest/heavy round I could find. If you’re shopping, I’d look for a 10mm. [/QUOTE]
