I don't necessarily disagree, 10mm has better range, capacity and recoil characteristics, but I figure in most scenarios with a grizzly charging you, you're only getting off a couple of shots at close range anyway.
I'm not a gun expert by any means btw.
- COGlory 3y agoYou need to consider weight, as well. Those big revolvers are heavy.
- icouldntresist 3y agoYeah chest holster is a must. Or suspenders with a belt and hip holster.
- sufficer 3y agoMy reckoning is the 10mm is a good all around safety gun. Good for bears. Great for human threats when out in the deep country. If you aren't packing a rifle that is
- dogman144 3y agoThat’s where I landed. i figured better odds of 3-5 and 2 on target with a 10mm recoil vs 1, maybe 2 out of a revolver and 1 on target with massive recoil if I didn’t want to carry a very long barrel. The round size you’d need to drop a bear quick basically implies you should hike with a rifle. So if you can’t do a single shot approach that makes sense (ie hike with a rifle), multiple shots with lower recoil and suitable bear load seemed logical. Then YouTube Alaska guy did all the ballistic pros/cons too.
