+100 Unless you have a lot of good fortune, a 9 is only going to annoy the bear and it will be worse for you.
A few of my "bear country" revolvers. Carried not for hunting, but for berry picking, mushroom hunting, day hiking, back packing, and the like. Super Blackhawk and Model 29 in .44 mag, and a Blackhawk in .45 Colt.

From what I have, my New Model Blackhawk 45 Colt 4 5/8 barrel and Underwood ammo (
but not Ruger Only) would be my 'go to' when taking a stroll through the woods.
