Just put a bid in on 9.23 acres in West Virginia with a new home on the property. We'll find out if the bank accepts our offer tomorrow...praying hard. The question is: We may have some black bears occasionally, and if push comes to shove, what sidearm will stop a black bear? We stopped at a Gander Mountain on the way back, and the gun counter guy says .45 ACP will do the trick. I was leaning towards a 10 mm, like a Glock 20. The wife doesn't like revolvers much, so a .41 or .44 magnum wouldn't work for her. We have plenty of .45 ACP and a couple of sidearms in that caliber. What does the forum say?
I know that a rifle, or shotgun, or a larger revolver would be better, but they won't do a lot of good in the house or if the wife isn't comfortable shooting/carrying them, so if possible keep the replies related to 10 mm and .45 ACP
Thanks in advance!
