[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1916810, member: 26477"] I hunt in Grizzly country and pack a Colt Python with a 4" barrel using HSM 180gn. flat nose solid lead bullets that are designed for this purpose. After being mauled by a grizzly elk hunting years ago, I packed a. 44 mag until I got tired of the extra weight. On my only other encounter, I used bear spray which was extremely effective. I prefer a revolver to a semi automatic because, there are many cases of guys ejecting the magazine attempting to shoot a charging bear. I don't want to have to do anything but pull the trigger if I get in that position again. I also pack it in a shoulder holster for easier acquisition, if I were to get mauled again. Make sure you get a good can of bear defense spray to take and carry it on your side! [/QUOTE]
