[QUOTE="MZmoose, post: 1889018, member: 41085"] You can't beat a revolver for hand to bear combat. Hope your buddy was ok. The two close calls I got into with black bears were unintentionally getting between a sow and her cub while packing in some deer bait to my stand without any gun. Had to use a stick and poked her in the face with it to keep her at bay so I could back away. Not a fun scenario and never go into the woods unarmed again. The other was a 200lb black bear hit too far back with a 300 win mag. When I found him in the brush he charged and took 2 more rounds, the last one was at 15 feet as I was backing away. The 300 mag hits were in the chest and destroyed his heart lungs but his adrenaline was up and he was mad. So when it comes to handguns I want something big that penetrates and even then it may not save your hide from getting chewed on. A problem I see with semiautomatics is the shape of the bullet nose. It has be tapered to feed and function through the gun. This makes your meplat small and keeps your wound channel more narrow than a wide flat nose design. Revolvers are more versatile and you can shoot whatever bullet design fits in the cylinder. [/QUOTE]
