This Beretta PX4 Storm in 9mm followed me home today.
We get black bears deep in our city all the time. It's pretty amazing how they can travel so far from the mountains. Oh, and we are a city of over 440,000 people.I actually live in E. Texas, so have a better chance here. My sister and I kept my deceased parents house over in W. Monroe, La ( north central), and about 3 years ago while we were a small black bear was spotted in a residential back yard, about a block off of old US 80, just behind a commercial area with several restaurants. He most likely came from a game management area just north of town that has a large bayou flowing through, emptying into the Ouachita river. It often floods due to back waters from the river. The little fellow had to have traveled through about 4 miles of residential areas to get to that point. Wildlife services were out trying to catch him for a couple of days. We had to leave before they got him so do not know the final outcome. NE Louisiana at one time had a very large population of black bears, and they are returning, Along Interstate 20, just west of the Mississippi River there are numerous signs warning of bear crossings.
I have many years ago seen bear tracks on an uncles farm over in the eastern Louisiana river delta, but never saw an actual bear. Back in the 60's when in high school and then college, a big game license had tags for deer and bear.
We spotted a rather large black bear recently as we rounded the curve on the county dirt road about 100 yards from our farm gate. He (maybe a she) quickly veered up the hill and the only photo we could snag was of his backside. We had spotted him at a distance a couple of weeks earlier.
Yet somehow I have not been able to convince my wife that I "need" this gun.
If that's the M 329pd in 44 Mag at just over 25 oz, I don't want anything to do with it. I have a little 342, j frame double action only with the scandium frame, titanium cylinder like that one in .38 special and it hurts. I just cannot imagine that light of a gun in 44 Mag.We spotted a rather large black bear recently as we rounded the curve on the county dirt road about 100 yards from our farm gate.

The plan is to carry it a lot and shoot it very little. I assume that with the adrenaline rush of a bear charge that I wouldn't notice the recoil.
