[QUOTE="Educated Redneck, post: 1486721, member: 84387"] I'd like to see ballistic info (MV) on a hot loaded 10mm with a long barrel say 7+inches. My assumption is that it would throw significantly more energy than a typical 4" or 5" barrel having more powder burn. I typically carry a Glock 20 with Buffallo Bore ammo in an aftermarket 7.5" barrel and beefier spring and abide by the "spray and pray" plan. May not be right or for everyone, but I think it has a talking justification along with other also wise plans. That said, every wheel gun argument is accurate and true other than they are a B to shoot one handed (if had to) especially if small statured like myself. I can handle the Glock, but a 44 or larger would fly out of my hand (or if not, certainly no accurate second shot). I've tested it. It's personally too much for me and a mag wheel gun sucks to backpack with too. Make the first shot count argument rings true, but I still like the idea of not defending myself, rather defending my partner and vice versa. While one is being attacked, the other closes distance and fires as much and as fast as can at point blank range within reason. Not saying I have the right answer, just food for thought. Bear spray is my back up. If I kill a bear and nobody was hurt, it's shut up time. I'm not reporting it. It's an animal and human life lives on for another day. I'll feel bad for the bear and the bad ju ju will probably ruin all future hunts, but we are talking about something that can or wants to seriously hurt or kill me or my partner.
