[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1582620, member: 69192"] The [I]"4-3-1" principle is a good rule of thumb[/I]. The caliber should at a minimum start with "4" (44cal), the bullet weight should start with at a "3" (300 gr.), and the muzzle velocity should start at least at "1" (1000fps). I use a Glock 20 (10mm) with 220gr Buffalo Bores for black bear hunting, and....feel confident with it. There's a big controversy about whether the 10mm is enough gun for grizzly? For me personally, if there's a question,[I] "[U]Is it enough gun[/U],"[/I] (rifle or handgun). I'd prefer to err on the safe side and have enough gun when something that can tear my butt up!! I have friends who found out the hard way that what they were carrying was not enough medicine for a grizzly; 300WinMag and now carrying 338WinMags. And a reply to [I][U]sea2summit's post[/U][/I], about carrying a handgun due to it leaning against a tree 15 feet away, I totally agree with you, it takes two hands for some of us to do things!! :oops:;) :):) Like unzipping a jacket and stuff like that!!:D:D:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
