My pistol for Alaska a Glock 20 gen 4
I put a KKM barrel on it and 22 pound spring
it’s accompanied me every time on my outdoor adventures in Alaska.
it’s a weapon of last resort against bears.
I hand load it with hot 10 mm Auto ammo.
I have had the big bore revolvers from 357mag to 454 they are history some I regret selling now. I have had a 10mm G20 ever since Glock introduced the 10mm this is my 3rd G20 and 1 kimber Eclipse 10mm. I sold the Kimber and went back to Glock.

Well now. There is a wounded bear running around on Bodenburg Loop. Wounded by several rounds from a......wait for it......10mm. Point blank.

Ah yes...it is the brown bear smashing chicken coops and killing poultry. I think the wildlife officers determined that no shots from the 10MM actually hit the bear, they found no evidence/blood. I live on Bodenburg and just loaded my 12 gauge with 3 inch magnum 600 gr slugs.
