[QUOTE="alaska, post: 2976806, member: 23096"] Actually in Alaska for Bear Protection the Glock 20 is very popular with 200/220 Hardcast bullets and most use Underwood or Buffalo Bore. I still have my Ruger Redhawk 4" 44 Mag but for the last 15 years I carry my G20 most of the time on Alaska Trails. But if a 44 Mag is what you have it will kil any bear on earth with the right load. Peterson killed a Polar Bear with a 6" SW in Alaska with a Norma 240gr FN. And Bill Ruger went to Africa and harvested many African game with a Ruger Carbine in 44 Mag. Here in Alaska the 44 Mag revolver trail pistol is still used and an excellent choice for Bear Protection. I know several people experimented with the 454 but quickly returned back to the 44 Mag as their sidearm of choice in Alaska trails. Normally long barrel pistols are not carried for Bear Defense with 6" being the longest recommended. Often shooting is done at extremely close range and a 4" is very maneuverable and easy to carry on the trail. [/QUOTE]
