[QUOTE="ATH, post: 554742, member: 1656"] Resurrected thread, huh? In Indiana where the worst I have to fear is bumping into a meth cooking operation, I carry a G23 (40SW) loaded with self-defense ammo. In Montana grizzly country I did that for a year when I had no other option...then picked up a titanium 41Mag that I load with 250gr hardcasts pumped to the max. We do a lot of backpack hunting so weight was really an issue. Didn't hunt griz country this year but next time I do will add bear spray to the arsenal. A bowhunter was killed in Idaho this year by a griz....the news got to me while I was in a remote area so I never did hear if the guy or his buddy had a backup gun, I'm assuming not since I heard that the partner killed the bear with his bow. I figure any handgun is better than my fingernails vs a griz, but I'd hate for that to be my primary option. [/QUOTE]
