Last time I archery hunted in Western WY I just carried a 9mm with buffalo bore +p solids. If not archery hunting it's usually just whatever bolt rifle i'm hunting with.

I have a g40 glock 10mm that was purchased specifically for hunting griz country but its bigger than ideal and I dont shoot it as well as a little 9mm so I havent caried it in years.

I wouldn't carry a G40 either. mtmuley

I’d probably pick the biggest one so I could throw it harder but the smaller one is probably the better choice so it doesn’t hurt as much when the griz shoves it up my ass.

With match bullets in those smaller cartridges you have nothing to worry about. mtmuley

100% not worried.

I’d have no concerns at all with the right 9mm load. A .40 with Gold Dots will paper punch a big black bear skull, and the 9mm typically out-penetrates the .40 and .45.
