[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1564893, member: 87243"] I would also say it depends what your comfortable/fast with. Like you, I am LE, currently a Deputy for the Sheriff's Department here. Consider how you will carry your sidearm in the field. I have limited experience, but from what I have seen, when you come up on a bear, it happens pretty fast. I carry one of two things, either a Glock 10mm, or a Taurus Tracker .44 magnum. I am comfortable and pretty quick with both. I think the best defense however, is to hunt with a partner that is also armed, and have bear spray as well. If the bear is curious and getting too close vs aggressive, this is where bear spray may help. If a bear is aggressive or hunting, it's going to be you or the bear, or my mentality, the bear or both of us. If I go down, I'm taking that SOB with me, I'm personally more afraid of turning into bear **** then just being plain dead. I think in a bear attack, having a combat mentality may help you survive.
