If you have a 9mm, just load hardcast rounds in it. It's certainly true that too much handgun is better than not enough, but it's also true that the handgun you already have is a far less expensive option than the handgun you don't.
Phil Shoemaker killed a Kodiak bear with 9mm hardcast rounds in a defensive gun use. I'm certain it's more than enough for a black bear, which is the sole bear in 95% of areas with bears.
Anyone who tells you that 10mm or .357 Magnum is necessary to stop a bear is a fudd. It's recognized as fuddlore and has been refuted with studies.
That makes sense if you run .357 Magnum. As I discussed earlier, it's really not necessary for stopping bears in most any case.
It doesn't matter what anyone tells you: capacity is important to some degree. There's no guarantee you're going to get an immediately incapacitating hit in that five rounds. It took Phil Shoemaker eight or nine to take that Kodiak down.
You know what has more aftermarket support than an SP101? A Glock or an M&P 2.0.
People can get wigged out all they want, it doesn't matter. "Oh no, a scary gun! What ever shall I do?" There's nothing they can do about it. Open carry, conceal carry, do whatever you want, but stop caring what cityslicker, nogunz faggots think.
1. As someone else said, revolvers almost always have many more parts than semi-autos.
2. As established earlier in my post, you don't need 10mm to kill a bear. They're not magically immune to 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 SIG, etc.
3. You really think a speed strip is going to be better because you can throw it in your pocket, despite the fact they're less intuitive than a magazine and take longer to reload your revolver with than a speedloader? It's almost always faster to reload a semi-automatic than a revolver. I carry two spare magazines on a daily basis and they're comfortable as-is, let alone don't print.
