[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 1864602, member: 105720"] What is the point of all these articles? I agree that comfort and capability with the weapon is the absolute #1 most important thing in choosing a bear defense gun. I also agree a .22 LR or 9mm has the capability to stop a bear attack. Would I be caught dead around bears with only a 9mm? Not on your life. My biggest issue is people believe 10mm is this amazing bullet for bears when it only caught on because it was almost like a .357 but higher magazine capacity in a gun most people are already familiar with/trained with. That is a long way from being a purpose built big boned animal killing round. Random list of sub 400 lbs bears that decided to not die after getting shot: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7648343/amp/Man-injured-hunting-accident-gone-wrong-350lb-black-bear-chases-small-cliff.html[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://abcnews.go.com/US/bear-dies-attacking-hunter-north-carolina-woods-wildlife/story?id=66740115[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://durangoherald.com/articles/293580[/URL] [/QUOTE]
