A family member who camps a lot in Colorado is interested in black bear defense. I used to think that a black bear was more of a shaggy deer than a threat but in the past few years I've read about women being killed and partly eaten by black bears so I'm taking them more seriously.
The candidates would be:
1911 with 250 grain hard cast by Buffalo Bore
S&W 1006 or Glock 20 or Glock 29 in 10mm with 220 grain hard cast by Buffalo Bore
S&W 69 with 240 grain or 290 grain hard cast
big can of bear spray
