I bet the toughest bear that ever lived will die easier than this thread.

I'll bet that Jim Williamson (TS) would be happy that this still has legs.

I'm sure he and shouldazagged are up there right now comparing vocabularies.

I can’t wait til Gatorfarmer starts posting again. He should have a fresh supply of stories.

He still has 16-36 to go.

PS: I still think about those kids.

Before you spring for the S&W 10mm do yourself a favor and handle a Springfield Armory XD-M 10mm.
I do not like Glock's 22° grip angle, the XD-M has normal 18° geometry and I assume the new S&W 10mm does too.
I'm happy with my 5.25" XD-M 10mm. It has three grip inserts to assist with fit.

Reconsider your barrel length. The bear will care more about how hard it is hit than how fashionable you think your 4" gun is.
