Good. Otherwise you're presumed to be either a newbie or a troll.To preface this, yes… I know a long gun is always preferred to a handgun for the topic.
First, your butcher friend is an idjit. Idjits advising on topics like this will get someone unawares killed.Secondly, the dangerous game in question is four legged, and occupies the N. American continent. Everything from S. MS hogs to Alaskan grizzly, moose, and etc.

I have a butcher friend who swears by his 9x19mm for everything, with the proper bullet… is there a snowball’s chance in Hell of any run-of-the-mill 9x19 competing with a hot rodded big bore ? Heck, can 10mm compare w/ a hot rodded big bore?
Second, on the subject of 'bear protection,' not hunting, I assume you know the 10mm AUTO is Mil-issue - the issued platform being the Gen4 Glock 20 - to Denmark's Sledge Patrol units whose soldiers operate in the arctic regions of Greenland.
Not infrequently, while out on patrol or in their base camps, they have sudden, random encounters with Polar bears. The Polar species are documented as being more aggressive than Alaska's brownies and Grizzs.

Soooo, if you find yourself out and about in the wilds of the AK boonies, a G20 or a longslide G40, hot-loaded with heavy 200grn or 220grn HC slugs and holstered in a center-chest rig, will make for a comforting campion during your sojourns ... especially the obligatory 1a.m. scamper along the snowy trail to the outhouse.
