Thank You for your insight

Personally, I'd carry the 2-3/4" for bear protection. Faster to draw and when the adrenaline is pumping...you'd be amazed at how fast you can get 5 to 6 rounds off with minimal muzzle flapping.
However....if you missed all those shots...having a 4 to 4-1/2" barrel would be nice for ramming down the bear's throat when he goes to tear your arm off. You might get lucky and choke him out.
