for bear protection get a shotgun with 00 buck shot or the centurion multiball defense shot. if you were to say the handgun were for protection aginst smaller animals or random unruley hikers then go for it, but you need something serious to stop a bear. mossberg makes some survival kit shotguns. it comes in a tube that has a strap so your not broadcasting to everyone what you've got. either that or get a strap on the shotgun and openly carry it on your shoulder.
that aint going to do SHIT to a bear but piss it off

Was just checking out a few models. The one that stood out with me was the Ruger 357. It can take .38 or .357 MAG. It could also take some kind of mini shot cartridge as well... never saw that. He said those cartridges were good for snakes.
He said that a .38 would be good for home defense and a .357 MAG would be better suited for hiking. He said that a .357MAG would easily take out a bobcat or coyote and would probably take a couple to deter a bear, and if fully unloaded would probably take down a large bear.
I liked it. It felt nice and was smooth. A big advantage was it was a lot less parts and easier to clean than a Glock G22 or G23 (which I did get a chance to hold and dry fire). Though they are quite nice, I need to consider my wife and her want of simple. And even as simple as the Glock was to other Semi-Auto... the Ruger 357 Revolver was even more simple.
I'm not decided yet, but it was really good to get out there and hold them.

I felt the rack was harder to pull than the trigger on the revolver. I believe it was the Ruger GP100, double action with hammer.

Yes, that's why I thought it would be a good idea to take her over and put them both on the table and see if she has an easier time pulling the trigger on the revolver or pulling back the rack on the Glock.
