Sorta like liberals. They got thick skulls and small brains too.You maynot even reach the brain with them hollow points. FMJ would be the better choice in the wild. HP were designed to stop ppl and limit over penetration. They most likely won't penetrate the bones of big game. FMJ may do it a lot easier
Bear mace is the best option.Ok, new to the forum, and relatively new to handguns. Had a Glock 22 about 13 years ago when I lived in Louisiana, but got rid of it when I moved out of state.
Anyhow, I now live near Los Angeles. Recently my father gave me a Hi Point C9 9mm. I do a lot of hiking in the mountains around here and have never seen a bear, but didn't care since I was single and figured I could deal with it. But, now that I have a wife and 2 small children, and a 3rd on the way, I'm thinking ” what if we do meet a bear and he ain't happy?)
So, figured I could get a CCW and carry my 9mm with me just in case. But, would a 9mm be enough to stop a bear? If not, what would you recommend? A .40SW like I used to have?
Bear mace is the best option.
South Dakota, actually. Handguns just aren't an ideal way to deal with large game. All you'll do is piss it off.Really? I was leaning toward a .357 - .44 cal myself.

I don't know. Is he a good shot?
Not by choice. I put seven 30-30 rounds into an angry grizzly, and my partner finally dropped it with a .308 from the side. Had I been plinking it with my 9mm I would probably have been bear poop instead.
I don't think anyone else did. Too subtle I guess.I see what you did there
