[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1564873, member: 75451"] If you are very comfortable with the Glock, it should be considered! Many folks feel the semi-auto will give you more firepower, through the addirional rounds put downrange. From my limited knowledge on the issue, many folks never get off one round. Bears are near silent, very fast, and once committed....nearly bullet-proof, unless it is a CNS shot. Your Glock 10 MM, loaded with heavy(220 grain or so) pushed to the max, hard-cast bullets....it would likely be an adequate bear stopper. Provided, you can get a round into the CNS. I’m a revolver fan, but that is not the question asked! Bullet weight is a huge advantage, when dealing with large, heavily built animals. Revolvers offer heavier bullets than are readily available with autos of similar bullet diameter. In a 44, I’d go 300+ grains. My personal chouce would be 45 cal, with 360 grain or greater hard cast bullets, pushed to 1100 fps or greater! JMO. memtb [/QUOTE]
