I know this subject has been discussed in general terms, but I have a very specific question. I am going to be spending some time in an area with many black bears. I have a .44 mag Mountain Gun with a 4" tapered barrel. If I load it with .44 mags, is this sufficient defense? Also, would .44 special be sufficient? What loads, etc would you all recommend?
Also, in dealing with black bears, would a .45 from a 3" 1911 be a bad idea? I'm asking because this is my normal CCW weapon.
Thanks for your help!
And just for kicks, would .44 mags out of this gun do anything for defense against brown bears?
