Hey everyone, I've been concealed carrying for a few years now but have never carried a caliber larger than 9mm, but in the summer I'll be taking a trip to Montana for a camping trip and I am considering carrying a 1911 in 45 that I just purchased in case we run into bear or any other dangerous wild life. My issue however is that I have always been a polymer gun guy and have never dwelled into the world of 1911s or revolvers mostly because I don't fully trust them Mainly because I just see them as antiquated styles of fire arms. my main questions are if I carry the 1911 with one in the chamber and the hammer locked backed ready to fire, off safety, is it any less safe than a glock that's loaded with one in the chamber? Also, is the 45. Acp a sufficient load to stop bear or other large animals given it has a good round in it? (Buffalo bore) etc. Finally if the 1911 can suffice for everyday carry
