I'll please our American members by saying if carrying a handgun on shikar, safari, or hiking or hunting in grizzly country ... I'd probably like to carry a 1911 .45 ACP.

Preferably a 10 round magazine. Spray and pray medicine.

I'll end up with one sooner or later. Can a traditional 1911 be had in 45 ACP with greater than 7 cartridge magazines?

Or a good revolver in .357 Magnum. Probably more useful for elephant or bovines close goring defence, Less useful imo than a semi auto on two legged predators.

Neither are grizzly hand cannons but I'd never own one of them anyway. A .44 magnum revolver might be the closest. I think from close encounter accounts, any decent handgun is better than nothing.

I'm not referring to intentionally hunting with a handgun.

I'll end up with both one day if God smiles on me.
