That way it won't hurt so much when the bear shoves the handgun up your kiester.

Man....I agree with this completely.....a back up revolver is extra weight you don't need with you.....
If I was hunting Griz or other dangerous game, I'd have a guide....he's my back up and maybe he has something really big! The idea of a handgun for backup is pure hogwash....forget it!
