Carried my Baer for bear protection, which seemed prudent. There was LOTS of bear sign. We had bears crapping a few feet from our door night and day this weekend. In fact yesterday, I went for a three hour hike with friends and came back to find a fresh pile in front of our place. Dang things were in the trash, on the lawn, on the road, everywhere.
I had the Baer loaded with 250 grain hard cast flat points that clock at 956 FPS out of this gun.
I also had a G21 converted to 10mm with me but mostly rolled with the 1911.
