I know this is a weird question but I am just wondering if my glock 23 (.40 cal) handgun would be enough to either kill a bear, stop a bear attack, or deter him from attacking me. This is all theoretical, I do some hiking and I was just wondering if I could rely on 14 rounds to stop a huge animal such as a black/brown bear since we have both here in the Sierras.
Also what would be the better ammo choice? High grain personal protection rounds or target rounds? I would think you need the most penetration possible, and I'm not sure a hollow point would offer that.
Thanks for the comments!
