To me it’s like putting my billfold in my back pocket, when I walk out the door I have my hand gun with me same with hunting....it’s on me.
Based on your prior field experience with bear attacks? Tell us what happened and how they went down....You need something bigger than a .45 ACP, especially if a bear is involved.
I was at the gun shop last summer with intentions of buying a 329, already having a G20 I carry in the woods, I talked myself out of it last second and got a 629... still really curious about the 329, and want to shoot one.I have a S&W 329 titanium 44 mag or a glock 20 that usually get the nod, the 329 is a bit of a handful with the Garrett hammerhead loads but has serious stopping power in bear country
I have never needed a pistol for defense out in the woods, the reason I have found it most useful is putting down an animal that is not quite dead when you initially walk up on it. Shooting a long gun with a high power scope from a few feet away tends to be difficult and it runs meat. Just my opinion!
Please do a search on what is the best ammo for dangerous game. You may find it interesting and change your mind about the hollow points. IMHOI intend on carrying bear spray and my Springfield XD 45 with the hottest hollow point I can buy.

Yeah im finding out that a hard cast lead bullet may be better for penetrating the thick muscle and skull of a grizz.Please do a search on what is the best ammo for dangerous game. You may find it interesting and change your mind about the hollow points. IMHO
A different caliber may be better but I believe the best ammo in your best pistol is better than nothing.Yeah im finding out that a hard cast lead bullet may be better for penetrating the thick muscle and skull of a grizz.
Im considering a different caliber altogether. Problem is, I already own a 45 and a 9mm. If I go 357 or 44 mag I'll have to buy another gun.
Research continues.
