What do you think about a 10mm Glock for grizzly protection? Fairly light for carrying and more projectiles than my S&W; 44 mag.

Stick carry the extra weight and if you are shooting more that 6 rounds then you have a problem besides the gun. Also use a good controlled expansion bullet or lfn, you want the bullet to penetrate and do massive damage all the way not go in 8 in and stop. When it comes to caliber if you can comfortably shot the .44 and are confident in the gun then take it but if you aren't take the 10mm. A smaller gun that you can hit a bear with is alway better than a big gun that you have to literally hit the bear with.

What's with the -1?
I would prefer hollow points to solids because when a bear is charging you he is headlong, so if I have to shoot him I would want to do as much damage as possible.
Dallas, the 10mm has been likened to a .44magnum during ballistics test, however a handgun would not be my first choice for bear protection, especially grizzly.

I would recommend hardcast bullets, like the ones from Buffalobore 220 gr. Hard Cast - FN (1200 fps/ME 703 ft. lbs.(from their web site) you need penetration, and these guys punch! Hollow points would deflect right off of a big boar grz. head!
I would be carrying my marlin .45-70 with hardcast 430grain as a min.

by 99explorerI don't believe Donald Trump sees the assault on the capitol as anything more serious than a demonstration of affection for himself.
He is ignorant...-
