for carrying. I am a 41 kind of person. I also like the .357 mag/38 special. I am saying this in believing angry bears are not to be warded off. But any loaded gun on your person is better than one at the house.
If you hand load a hot 44 special with a hard cast pill will handle most black bears at a reasonable range.
