Pretty sure you can carry handguns or long guns in checked baggage.How you gonna get the handgun to AK?
Can you fly with one? Far as I know, can't drive thru Canada with it.
10mm has more juice than a 357 Mag.
Guy I know from AK used a 44 mag handgun. 12 w alternating buckshot & slugs was also a choice for locals.
Not quite. As proper bullet wait increases, 10mm power decreases. Check 180gr ballistics between the 2.10mm has more juice than a 357 Mag.
View attachment 1076750The 4.25” model 69 will carry well without being boat anchor strapped to your body. Even with my 44 Special loads I’m getting 950 fps with 240 gr. hard cast bullets.

I can’t get on board with the big bores. I want to be able to get back on target as quickly as possible if a grizzly is coming at me. Whatever you get, get it and practice dumping it. Quickly and accurately.
I agree with you to a point. Using bullets that offer quick recovery though may not reach the vitals IMO.I agree.
I don't want some ported gun that's going to assail my senses and still be slow to get back on target because it's a massive magnum in a sub 5" barrel.
No ports. Let the muzzle blast be directed at the bear....which sure isn't a bad thing.
I really like the suggestions for 44 mags and 10mm. Get in lots of range time and practice.
If you carry the semi-auto...make sure you take spare magazines. It's mighty easy to finger the mag release during a draw. Would suck having a single shot.
5" Redhawk, G20 or G40 would be my suggestions. A G29 ain't a bad idea either if you wanted to go smaller or even use as a primary.
Don't let the low weight of the Glocks scare you off. The polymer grip frame flexes & sloughs recoil in a very, very impressive way. I'm no pistolero yet I've done multiple consecutive mag dumps with 175gr Silvertips in a G20 and kept the rounds in a hog-sized target. (this was done a few years back when ammo wasn't as scarce as an honest politician ).
Good luck on your plans @Mexican Squealer I hope you have smooth travels and a safe trip.
That's gonna be a super experience.
