[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1534580, member: 5412"] I wish I could find the story to link to it, but a guy and his GF were hiking in Montana, and were confronted, charged, and bitten, by a Griz. He had a 1911, 10 rounds of 230gr ball. It took all 10 rounds to kill the bear, and the hikers suffered some pretty bad injuries. I'm onboard with your .357 being good to go for black bear. But, just for your own sake....file that front sight off, just in case.:hey3: [/QUOTE]
