I think that this video is relevant to the discussion of 10 mm pistols.

TRUTH ABOUT 10MM & BEARS - by Captain Peterson's - More Than Just The Best - Sep 18, 2020


I've made in excess of 30 canoe trips into the BWCA and have been through Ely MN. The only time that I've ever seen a bear is at the entry points of the BWCA when the bears were getting into the garbage cans. That said, my Dad took my sisters into the BWCA and they had a bear enter the campsite that started biting into everything looking for food. I have the camera and camera case with bear teeth marks on them, as well as a plastic white gas bottle that the bear bit into. I don't think that the bear liked the taste of that campstove fuel very much.

To be honest, the moose have been more of a problem than the bears. But you DON'T want to argue with either of them!

So a G40 with Underwood 220 gr Hardcast at a minimum….;)

Or bear spray. From what I've been reading, bear spray is more effective at fending off bears than most firearms. I had no idea that a bear's fat layer could be that deep.

But if you need a good excuse to by a 10 mm, a bear is as good a reason as any!
 
Interesting how Sig adapted what was introduced as a 9mm platform to 10mm.

Could you imagine what the hunk of metal would have been like if they set out to make it a 10mm?

I’m just glad the guy in the back of the room finally stood up and said, “that thing is built strong enough to be a 10mm!”

:)

I've made several trips into the Boundary Waters (two week ventures, mostly in the fall with fishing being a priority) and have had several encounters with black bears. On one occasion, a bear tried to make off with a food cache while we were in camp. He left it reluctantly after being chased with banging pans and loud words.
