[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 3079950, member: 32631"] I'm not to sure on the penetration thing. Depends on bullets. A 150 gr. Underwood Penetrator would blow a 45 cal Hardcast away. The revolver/six shots verse the semi auto/15 + shots will go on forever like Ford or Chevy or even Dodge 😉 you have to give up something. I don't want ro carry my 8 in barreled S&W 460 or Ruger SR 454 because of weight , recoil and only 5 shots in the XVR. Yes I would rather hit a bear or whatever with a 350 gr. Hard cast gas checked FN Beartooth (what I use) than a 220 or 200 hardcast 40 cal/10mm But... I have less Recoil. Quicker back on target . I have more rounds incase I don't stop or kill it. And weighs at least half the weight. Easy decision for me. The muzzle blast from the 460, 454 or even a 44 mag may help scare the bear away if you miss.😉 The only two things concern me with the auto is if the bear gets you on the ground. The slide may get pushed out of battery. Especially if you shove it into the bear by chance and you could accidentally hit mag release. Last Oct. I'm pretty sure I could of got off 3 good shots on that Griz. He was down hill that was fairly steep at 24 yards. When he left and if would of come up the trail further he would of been about 50 to 60 yds. level ground. I think I'd of been spraying bear spray and shooting if he was on top.
