[QUOTE="palerider3, post: 1671634, member: 82117"] If I'm rifle hunting I'm either carrying a suppressed packlite for grouse, or a subcompact 9mm if it's closer to town. When bow hunting I carry a real pistol, either a midsize 9mm or a occasionally a Glock 20sf. In Idaho where I hunt we don't have much in the way of grizzly bears, so I'm mostly concerned with 2 legged predators. If you're carrying a rifle almost any of them will do better than any handgun out there. And you're more likely to actually hit it also. The number of people who carry pistols they never or seldom practice with is astounding. If you're going to carry a pistol for bear defense, or any defense really, you best be comfortable with it. Take it to your local gun club and shoot some steel challenge or IDPA with it. I got some looks the first time I showed up to steel challenge with a 10mm, but I still smoked most the stages. [/QUOTE]
