[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1888015, member: 101791"] I have bow hunted in Montana for 15 + years. I got a 500 smith not to long after that. Built up hand loads for it that equal the 30/06 in some bullets in fpe. I fire it several times in practice. I also carry bear spray too. I have been reading the blogs on use of a pistol on bears. I didn't get an 8" barrel either I got it in a 4" barrel, which is long to start with. I am changing my mine on what to carry. The 500 is only 5 rounds, and the recoil is great and I believe that 3 shot in a few seconds isn't possible while being accurate. When in Vietnam 69 I carried a car-15 and a 1911 45 auto loader and used both. So under pressure doesn't worry me. Been there and done that. So in thinking about it, I am now looking to change to a 10mm pistol with more rounds and less recoil. Luck would have it, I don't have a 10mm either. Now I have never had to go up against a Grizzly Bear, and hope I don't ever have too. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
