[QUOTE="cavtrooper94, post: 558698, member: 17666"] I carry a Glock 23 and trust it for any situation except for the bears you mentioned. When Bears are a possibility I carry my S&W 329 PD 44 Mag. Good bullets in the 40 cal will handle almost anything else I can think of. Living in Alaska I've seen plenty of situations where someone carried their favorite 45 ACP into bear country and have it no work out so well. The last one I remember was an XD in 45 ACP. The bear was turned after 13 or 14 rounds and then went miles before dying. Good bullets in a 44 mag or 454 that you will carry all day is just the ticket. The 460 and 500 S&W are nice for handgun hunting but too heavy and produce too much recoil for valid self defense. [/QUOTE]
