I carried 9mm hard cast buffalo bore ammo in a G19 knowing I could dump a lot of little deep penetration pills rather quickly in bear country & also had a 3” 357 with hard cast I’d carry when the wife carried the G19
But the 12ga with slugs was more comforting when a bear wandered into camp about 10-15 feet from the tent 🤣🤣
I know people who swear by bear spray, saying it’s better than a firearm
Check out High Desert Cartridge company it’s a small outfit in Washington state that loads excellent ammunition and has developed some 357 Magnum ammo specially for 3” barrels revolvers and they just came out with 45 Colt and 44 mag ammo
They will tell you it’s cheaper to send a check than use a CC and don’t do on line orders either
