Back country carry gun

[Altitude sickness]

I have the Gen 5 Glock 20 with MOS and it’s a dream to shoot. For full size carry. Hard decisions. My 1911 or the Glock 20

My 1911 is nicer to hold and look at with a much better trigger.
For bears I guess the 20

If you’re looking for a .44 Mag I’d look at a new Colt. They have a 4” ported model that I think would be the cat’s meow.

Personally I’d go with a Glock 20, Gen 5, MOS, with a KKM Barrel, and a 22# recoil spring, titanium guide rod, loaded with Buffalo Bore 220 grain hardcast lead. I’ll bet you shoot it better.

Yeah, but can you file off the front sight for when the bear shoves it up your ass it doesn't hurt so much?
