Not BIG 9 ft. Grizz but most situations I'd figure. In truth whatever you got in hand is better than a sharp stick. IF it goes BANG!

Mine is my own Frankenstein. A barrel/mag swap and it is a 10mm 15-shot (again). I did lots of work with .45 Super and got a 200 gr. bullet (cast gas check) to 1400 fps. Then I worked with the 10mm and 200 gr. FNGC, guess what? It ran 1400 fps too with a published load I used (6" barrel). That's generally 100 fps more than the heavy factory jacketed loads available (lead is more slippery). BUT it has two more rounds and better sectional density. A toe to toe comparison would be interesting on penetration depth. With special tuning and moderation with the real hefty loads it would do.

Pic is shown with some Naugle loads.
