the .44 mag sounds like one the best choices you got up there or you could use a desert eagle .50,,, i know what you talking bout its knida hard to stuff a 12 ga in you pocket. if your confident enough and have enough trainin a good sword you can strap on your back would be aight too

Everyone was trying to ignore this post since it is not in the right forum. Now you have gone and spoiled everything.

I would definately go for the 12 gauge w/ slugs. Get yourself a good sling and you should be fine. I personally wouldn't be confident in relying on any handgun or even hand cannon to stop a charging bear. just my 2 1/2 cents.

From my understanding all of these weapons will only do one thing. Anoy the bear. Best bet is to go out in the bush with someone else and carry a .22 pistol, when the bear shows up shoot the buddy in the leg and run.

 Jesus wept, Ten, you're the best thing since Monty Python! I thought you couldn't out-do your "I shoot blackbirds on the fly at 300 yards with a muzzle loader" bit, but the sword bit is great!!! |

This is what I would use, but maybe in 18"

If worried about bear attacks, I would use a Ruger Single Six 22 cal.
When a swift kill is necessary PENETRATION is the key. A head shot is vital. If a small head use the 22 LR cylinder. If head is large swap out for the 22 magnum. This way, you can get the penetration you need and still have an open casket and not leave an expensive pistol laying out in the woods. Whether or not the bear will molest your head shot corpse after you've expired...You have to leave something to chance I guess. Good luck. Sly (BTW, my "for real" choice would be the G20 with hi-caps) |

Go search the Hunting forum.
This has been talked about almost to death. I lived in Fairbanks and the amount of people that go into the bush without a firearm, and live to tell about it would apparently amaze people down here in the lower 48. Then again, you can count on at least one person per year getting mauled. |
