Using the longer barrel with Double Tap 200 or 230 gn. solids should give it a little more velocity/penetration.
Plus she'll have 15 shots. I'm sure even a brown bear won't like that very much.
10mm is my favorite handgun cartridge. Great for hogs, yotes and such. We don't have bears in my neck of the woods. |
If the first shot doesn't bother the bear, the next 14 or 15 aren't going to matter. You have to hit him hard with the first shot. Maybe a second. You won't have time to get 15 rounds on target accurately.
Once you piss off a charging bear he will ignore most handgun rounds.
The 10mm is not enough.
There are those instances where "you never know". I know of bears that were shot with a 9MM and a 40SW. Both bears were stopped immediately. Both shooters were considered to be extremely lucky.
I don't want to rely on luck to save my own life.
