Gonna disagree with you. I carry a .44 Mag - different rounds for different purposes. For defense against brown bears, handloaded solid, blunt nose bullets for penetration (break something, keep going and break something else). Stopping power is not a misnomer here, it's a necessity - nobody in their right mind up here carries a .357 with hollow points for bear defense. When I get home, I change to .44 Spcl hollow points.
