      Well there sure seems to be a bunch of people carrying one or the other of the 2 when in grizzly country so that is another reason I asked about these 2 calibers

      Like someone else said, we are not talking about hunting a grizzly we are talking about trying to keep a grizzly from killing you

      Lots of good points here, appreciate all of them

        All you need is a 22

          Fact is you don’t know how many shots you’ll get off at the bear and they can be on you fast. Even if you are on the ground that auto might save your life.

          So I’m sure many might not like what I’m gonna type here but here goes. The 44 Mag is .429 compared to .40. The 44 mag firepower is more relevant with a hollow point or JSP than with a hardcast. If using hardcast, a hole is a hole in this situation and a hit or as many hits as you can get is the objective.

          Watch this video and decide if you wanna face off like Wyatt Earp with one well placed shot.

          yup 2 guys .. shot 7 times ... i'd prefer the gun with 15rds and less recoil ... reminds me of elephant hunters . win some lose some ... if you don't stop him with those high power double barrel rifles , the elephant usually wins ... seen elephant charging videos ... and dang, i'll take the bear!!!

            Believe it or not DAP bear spray is a great option easy to deploy, and works

              Started carrying a 44 revolver and switched to 10mm. Lighter, faster to shoot on target with a follow up shot.
              Carry position is not to be overlooked, especially on an archery hunt. I like a grizzly tuff or man gear chest rig set off to the side a bit. Practice shooting while wearing it. Never had a gun fall out, no matter what I’m doing and I can sleep with it on if necessary
              I agree that the spray is a good choice as well plus you can use it on your hunting partner if they spook a nice bull.

                Have a buddy bounce a tennis ball across the ground towards you from 20 yards. If you can hit it with a handgun your good to go. Then try to hit it with the spray. One will miss just about every time, the other will hit everytime

                  Make them “think” they have a fighting chance and do the same with a basketball.

                  Pretty good exercise though

                    OK, so you are going to stand in front of me at 20 yards and bounce a tennis ball across the ground toward me, and I am going to shoot at the ball?

                    What could possibly go wrong?

                      There’s another thing one CANNOT overlook about bear spray. When the wind is blowing hard, that spray can end up working against you. I lived and worked in Montana enough to know just how hard the wind blows up there at times. The last thing you want is to be blinded by intense burning in your eyes and nose when a grizzly is trying to attack you.

                          I was badly mauled by a Mt lion so I can tell you first hand what I think is the best option. Just my opinion

                            Chances are, if you are charged from close distance by a Grizzly, you will not have time to draw, let alone be accurate in shot placement.
                            I posted earlier that I carry a 10mm in a chest holder because I at the very least want an opportunity to defend myself in a bad situation. Weight is also another factor to consider while carrying a backpack, binos, bow/rifle etc.. I also carry bear spray.
                            The problem we run into up here in Grizzly country is they have associated gunshots with downed game and a free meal. One of the most vulnerable times for an attack is when standing over your animal taking care of it in the field.
                            I am planning on elk hunting next month in a Grizzly inhabited part of our state and we will be hunting in pairs for safety reasons.

                                44 Mag over a 10 if I HAD to pick between the two. For me personally, a 500 Linebaugh would be my only pick! (Modified Ruger Blackhawk)
