[QUOTE=mes227;135946151 Yes, a properly selected round properly placed could would have stopped the bear....this does not mean that a .44 Mag is a good choice in serious bear country. Which is why I carry a .454 Casull loaded with Buffalo Bore hard casts.....and I'd love to pick up a 45-70 Guide.[/QUOTE]

I totally agree, BUT this thread is about pickin' out a MOUNTAIN GUN to carry in the wild. My choices are based on the 3 MGs and the GG that I actually own. There are certainly better handguns/calibers for sale out there. It is simply IMHO, that the .44 Mag is the best of the MOUNTAIN GUNS for the OP's purpose........
