[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 341819, member: 2736"] There are a lot of post on this subject and a search should help. I still say that a very large, short barreled revolver is the best choice because= It can be brought to bare under the worst of times. You can hold off your attacker with one hand and still draw and shoot the revolver. If it is not on a loaded cylinder or you have a misfire all you have to do is pull the trigger and you are back in business. Some like a shotgun or rifle but if your hunting you already have or should have a rifle capable of dispatching a bear but if he gets on you to fast and get you down only the pistol will be usable. If you are just hiking . The pistol is easy to carry and can even be concealed. There are many choices of revolvers . I personally carry a titanium 44 special normal. But if I was in brown bear country I would carry my 454 . The magic word is "SELF DEFENSE" . If you have time to use a long gun then it is just a hunt (Maybe an exciting one) but not self defense. Just my opinion ! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
