[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3116770, member: 5412"] The 10mm is marginal for Griz. Probably work OK for black bears, but black bears are typically not much danger to humans. I'd go with a revo like the Ruger Alaskan in .44 mag, and practice with it to become more accurate. That being said, Alaskan coastal brown bears have been killed with 9mm and .45ACP. In one case by a professional guide that knew the anatomy of a bear and used it to his advantage. You can't just shoot a bear or any other animal and expect it to go down with any caliber be it rifle or pistol caliber. You have to hit the central nervous system or brain to stop it in its tracks. Shooting the heart/lungs/liver is a fatal shot but the bear can live long enough before it dies from blood loss to turn a human into a mass of jellied flesh and blood. [/QUOTE]
