[QUOTE="Frogman77, post: 2542136, member: 15339"] I live hunt and fish in Alaska…. Take bear spray. That being said I’ve gone from 7.5” 44 mag to 10mm. If I did it over again, snub nose 454 Casul and a can of bear spray. If I have enough time to figure out what’s going on bear spray… and then I don’t have to kill it unless I’m hunting, If it’s already on top of me then a snub nose Ruger super red hawk revolver. If there’s any chance of having a slide out of battery and not fire that would be the time. Given it’s not likely but if you shove the barrel up into a ball of fury and hide the potential is there. Revolver doesn’t have that issue. Just my opinion spending a lot of time in bear country by myself, with hunting partners, and with my wife and kids. Fwiw I still carry the 10mm and bear spray.
