I've learned over the years that every gun owner has an opinion. Some are based on real experience, others not so much. If you want to carry a Glock in bear country, knock yourself out - but your personal preferences do not make other guys, with other experience, in other circumstances, uninformed...

I never considered the Glock 20 to be something I'd carry for bear defense. Until I did some research after reading about it being used for just that. And, as Joseph Stalin once stated, "Quantity has a quality all its own." Yes, shot placement is important, but I'll be able to put 16 rounds on target, vs six with a wheel gun. And I'll be able to reload much faster. So I consider myself to be better informed than those who stick with a wheel gun more out of stubbornness than anything else.

Not everyone who disagrees with you does so out of "stubbornness," or knows less than you do. I've worked in bear country (lower 48) since the 1970s; during that time, I've learned that every gun owner has an opinion, and I don't operate under the illusion that reality conforms to my personal preferences...
