Hey all,
My question mainly pertains to whether or not it is reasonable to go from .45 +p to .45 Super when out in the woods.
The main purpose for the sidearm would be if we were to encounter a hostile mountain lion (there's warnings about all over the place these days - apparently they've been stalking humans quite frequently) or potentially a black bear.
Obviously, 12 gauge or something really powerful is ideal, but does anyone know if a .45 Super would offer any significant benefits towards stopping a hostile bear or cougar should it become necessary to do so over a standard .45 or .45 +p load? I verified my gun can shoot .45 Super, so I'm not worried about that.
Thanks!
