Just curious what everyone carries when in the backcountry and there is a possible threat of bears??

I have been considering the same with my Springfield 1911. The only predators I have to contend with are black bear, coyotes and the two legged kind. It would be for defense only so the semi-auto would probably be my choice for my area as we are not permitted to hunt with semi's.I have a S&W 610 10mm revolver and a 1911 .45 ACP full frame. I also have two Gunfighter Kanai Chest rigs (1 for each). For the 10mm I shoot Underwood Xtreme Penetrator 140gr, and for the .45 I shoot BuffaloBore 255 gr +P Outdoorsman ammo. I am confident and proficient with each; just haven't decided which I will carry. Leaning towards the revolver.
