[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1599163, member: 92702"] My $.02 having carried both a handgun and a rifle at the same time a bunch. If you need to shoot in a hurry, you will use whatever is in your hands. If in thick cover, you will most likely be holding the rifle, and not have it slung. If the rifle is slung, or a few feet away for some reason, the handgun is quicker. If you want to carry a handgun and a rifle both, you will be carrying the weight of a rifle adequate for bears. Since trouble always comes when you least expect it, you might want to carry both. In that case I would choose a light semi auto in 10MM or 460 Rowland, leaning more on a double stack 10 with heavy cast bullets. [/QUOTE]
