Excuse me?
What is that even supposed to mean I don't even play golf.
"If you have ask that" you also might want to check your grammar before insulting someone
I simply stated what I learned in my research and then asked "what do you guys think?"

You're not sorry you just insulted me again get out of here!
Not asking if the round could simply kill a bear. I know it could.
Clearly you don't understand

Schiendog, I have no experience with the big ten as I'm a wheelgun guy in the woods, but 2 of my 25 bears were shot up close with hanguns, one a 44mag, the other a Casull. But the 10mm with stout loads would be more than enough. Two of those were full on charges, one with a 30/30 from the hip at single digits yards, one with a 444 at maybe 10 yards. Luckily, both dropped! But if they hadn't, I would be digging for my handgun if possible and get as many shots off as possible. A semi in 10mm would beat the revolers for sure. Hope to never have to try that, rather not get chewed on lol:)

I can see the jack asses coming upon this with their view. Buy the 10MM and shoot it. If not PM me ad you can shoot MINE! I have many revolvers, One of these will work.
I bought my Glock 20 - 10mm for the METH CAMPS! And for the occasional of others.
I use to carry a Revolver in 357 Magnum or 44 Magnum revolver. which was good for any animal where we are.
But for the CRAZED METH PEOPLE, I'll take the high capacity!10 mm GLOCK ALL THE WAY, even if your bullets don't get the intended target, THEY WILL BE DUCKEN, Which gives you a chance to GET AWAY!
AWS:
I hunt big game with a drilling, if two Brennekes and a 175gr RN won't stop a bear having a handgun hanging on my hip most likely accomplish very little more. I don't bother with a handgun.
Now fishing or just camping in bear country I pack a 41 mag, the 10's big brother
Down in bandito country where you can find yourself in the middle of a dozen drug runners and extra 15 rounds on my hip just might get me back to the truck and enough time to bail out of there.
MADMAX:
I second the .41 and I plan to add a can of bear spray just because I bought my wife one for a glacier trip and will hang it on my pack strap when shes done with using it.
if its a meth crazed drug camp or Bandito encounter in the backcountry.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I think Id see them first.......................and leave !
