I’ve almost purchased the Glock 20 a couple of times. I ended up not doing so because I can replicate the ballistics with 45 super balancing better diameter with worse sectional density.

I’ve considered the 460 Rowland because both the 10mm and 45 super are a little wimpy vs a big angry bear. I haven’t purchased the 460 Rowland kit yet because honestly, it’s also a little wimpy vs big angry bear.

Probably a revolver like my .500 Maximun would be best for brown bear, but the .460 Rowland should be more than sufficient for black bear. Although I would bet you could get multiple shots off quicker with the .460 Rowland and it’s very effective muzzle brake. The main purpose of the brake it to protect the gun from wear and tear rather that the shooter however.

BTW did you get my PM about the Rowland?
