I've been looking into handguns. Partly for general purpose/personal protection but largely for backpacking. I found there are as many different viewpoints as there are gun owners. A number of reliable sources insist that a .44 Magnum, at least, is required to confidently stop a grizzly bear. But....I don't plan to see many grizzly bears. Still, I am interested in something that's more than a straw and a spitwad. I'm somewhat in love with the .45 ACP. It's narrow and can be fairly light. Has decent shocking and/or penetrating power. And the double-stack can hold 13 rounds. If I ever do need to use it, I will pull the trigger a number of times. Thirteen seems better than six.
