Go Sam Peckinpah !

Another vote for a $50 can of bear spray.

Or, you could take that $ 50.00, and a little more, and put something on lay-a-way, if you plan on doing this very often...In the mean time...hands down, .45 ...!!! And remember to take the 9mm for back-up.

Something tells me many of you have never been very close to a bear. 9mm or 45? hahaha bear spray would prolly work better.

Well, if the hog in question is under 100 pounds, either will do well. Regarding bears, I don't think that it would be a good idea to use them accept at the uttermost end of need.

I think the 9mm has the edge on penetration which would be crucial for bear.

Either will work well - the only thing you'll need to shoot is yourself after the bear starts eating you.
