Greets folks,

quick question as I am debating my next sidearm purchase. I curently carry a 9mm auto. ( only handgun I got save fer my .36 navy cap -n- ball gun) when I get the $$ ( or if *G* ) I intend to buy a more suitable backup for hunting. Now I know there are many who tout the 9mm as being a good round, but after using it for the kill shot on a wounded deer, I dont trust mine to stop much of anything bigger than that, (in fact hindsight tells me that without real careful shot placement 9mm aint big enuff for deer), and though I'd never use it to hunt a bear, what you do when you field dressing your kill and an old black bear comes along for lunch?? so I definately want more power. Now that in mind, any suggestions, and would you recommend an auto or a revolver and why?
