I thought this might be a nice change of pace from the "What gun for Bears?" threads, though I do enjoy them.
I can't think of any documented unprovoked wolf attacks on humans in North America that happened within the last 100 years (but if you know of any, please share). And I don't really consider then much of a threat to people, except where food is concerned (so maybe more of an issue for hunters).
Still, the choice of handgun and ammunition will likely be different for most people than where bears are concerned. From my rememberings they often exceed 100lbs in weight (males being even larger) and have thick fur, which means projectile selection is still important. I don't know that your typical CC hollow point ammo is the best option, but I don't know that it's not either.
So what would you choose? And why?
(After this, maybe we can do a thread about "Which gun for Wolverines riding Moose?")
