jeff........the other suggestion is to wipe bacon grease on all of your bullets and casings. that way when mr. bear is coming at you at mach speed you can eject the shells hoping mr. bear will stop long enough to smell the cases and give you about 3 seconds to run like hell!
there are a ton of bear stories real and embellished out there to read and hopefully learn a lesson from. if it was doable id carry a shotgun, but now your back to weight issues.
im gonna go up to gary raeders place in flagstaff. the pistol parlor. hes the guy that has shot every big game animal on the planet with a handgun! he really knows his stuff and see what he thinks or what hes got to offer. be it smith/ruger/taurus/single/double action.
even though some in this state want to reintroduce grizzlies again, the wolf debacle here probably has already put the kabosh on that idea for good. so here in az/new mex/utah/colo all i have to worry about is black bears. when we do go north then its a different playing field with the grizzies.
its money that i dont mind spending since it concerns my life or g/friends life and is the last resort in the truest sense of the word.
heres the gig with this one as soon as i buy whomevers .44mag. buy it, take to range, site in, take home, clean hell out of it, place in holster, place in safe.
wait til i go back packing, and then strap it on. and pray i dont have to use it.
its a hell of an interesting topic, shooting grizzlies and putting them down with a handgun. killing a shark is childs play in comparison. take .44 mag bang stick with waterproofed .44 mag hollowpoint or even a blank.........place on gill area or head and WAA LAA (1) dead shark. blanks are used because of massive air embolism introduced into sharks body shuts them down ASAP! problem if you have to use one is all of his buddies going into feeding frenzy! so either way its your last chance effort to buy some time, and neither do i want to experience.
