I always see talk of "bear defense" guns being these giant revolvers. What a load of crap. My G19 is the best bear defense gun in the world. 9mm can easily penetrate the skull and vitals of almost any animal in the world, especially with flat nosed bullets to resist deflection. 15-33 rounds of 9mm from a gun you've trained with regularly for years directed at the head/neck area of a large animal with both speed and precision beats the Hell out of 6 44 magnums you can't even afford to shoot splattered randomly over the animal's silhouette from a gun with a shitty DA revolver trigger that's impossible to reload under stress and gives you a perforated eardrum with every shot. Then you also have mountain lions, which are very fast but not that hard to put down, and in some areas wolves which travel in packs and are also hard targets for these stupid bear revolvers. Glock wins. There's no conceivable situation in which a big revolver gives me any advantage over any animal compared to the G19 that I always carry. Worst case scenario is I just carry Buffalo Bore or Underwood +p+ ammo with cast bullets, or M1152.
