I took a Larry Vicker's 1911 class in May. He is not into 10mms but recommended the Glock 20 for backwoods defense for two and four legged critters and I believe he said he feels the Glock 20 is the best platform for the 10mm.

But, I'm not sure it would be adequate for any bear larger than a black bear.

You'd have to switch out the factory barrel on a Glock 20 to shoot cast bullets. I know some folks say they shoot lead in Glocks but I'd switch out the barrel.
