Rix,
     After some thought on the subject, I have decided on the pistol for a number of reasons.
     First, being ex-military and an ex-correctional officer I have experiance firing under stress. With-out the stress factor, I am an excellent shot. Under combat situations I am a great shot(rifle or pistol).
     Second, the wind factor. Once again , due to the millitary and correctional officer training I KNOW what OC and CS gas is like. NOT FUN!!!!
     Third, I just got done talking to a friend of mine that has a S&W .45 he is letting me have for trade on one of my .22's for his son. I have fired said revolver and it is a sweet gun.
     Forth, the state officers and game wardens allow a pistol to be carried while hunting or fishing with-out a permit. I do have a carriers permit for my .38, but wouldn't try for bear with it.
     And finally, my wife said she would feel more comfortable with me toteing a gun than a can of pepper "air freshiner". I tried to explain the difference, but she wouldn't hear it.
     So....... The question now is: Will a S&W .$% be effecteve against a ticked off black bear ?
