[QUOTE="Xescane, post: 1916704, member: 113388"] First! The likelyhood of you getting off a calm accurate shot is unlikely so the more rounds the better. The sound will send them running 9 out of 10 times anyways. Second! The kill area of a bear facing you is very small so make lots of holes. I carry a Springfield 10mm xdm. Lastly! I live in and hunt in grizzly country every day I have ever hunted and have seen them hundreds of times. Unless your in alaska they aren't much larger than a large black bear. Most under 400lbs. There is no such thing as a pistol that knocks down a bear anyways. I double lunged a 100lb black bear last weekend with a 212gr eld x out of my 300 mag and he still ran 75 yards before tipping over. So I vote auto for a defense side arm against bears. [/QUOTE]
