The 44 magnum has served a few generations of outdoorsmen well. I never carried anything smaller.

Fully agree .. Had a brown bear walk 15 feet in front of 3 of us along the Kenia River and would never have allowed a black bear to do the same .. They are just plain unpredictable and are just as likely to attack as they are to walk on by !!
