The Ruger Redhawk 5032 45LC/45 auto using Buffalo Bore hard cast bullets or equiv is also good bear medicine and you can use cheaper 45 auto for practice. YMMV.

Also true , but Bud , the OP was inquiring about his presumably already owned 10mm .

You should also have a friend walk with you while you’re armed. Then, if your shots don’t stop the bear from charging, cap your friend in the leg. You’ll get away from the bear.

If we had talked about him before he posted his question, we could have called him Pre-OP.

Of course, now that he has posted his question, we can all refer to him as Post-OP.

Okay OP!

You guys are fing killing me.

I have hunted and killed both Kodiac and Black bear. Anything under a 44 magnum is just insane for protection. Especially when you are surprised by one as it sneaks up to you. Bear spray would be your better option.

Al Gore trusts his Glock 20 for hunting manbearpig
