I have a Glock 22 in 40S&W, not because I wanted bigger bullet holes, but because once the FBI switched back to 9mm most local law enforcement did too, and you could get them used for next to nothing. Sadly, everything I saved on the pistol I've spent several times over on ammo because 40S&W is fucking expensive.
I thought about it, but my next purchase is just going to be a P365X macro, the 22 prints no matter where you try to carry it, it's a big gun. I'll save the glock for backcountry hiking in Glacier National Park or something.
Nice, I think you're right that .40 is a good choice for large predator defense. A friend of mine got a P365X and while I haven't shot it, the hand-feel was off the charts. Very nice gun.
Bear spray is a good choice for large predator defense, and 12ga semi-automatic shotguns with slugs are good large predator defense. If you're carrying a pistol in to the back country it's to make yourself feel better.
Pistols have a much better success rate against bears than most people believe: https://sportingclassicsdaily.com/defense-against-bears-with-pistols-97-success-rate-37-incidents-by-caliber/

I'm sure you've considered it but if you like the gun I think 9mm conversion barrels are pretty reasonable

Uhhh, I think it just made them mad, anyone got something stronger than a .303 Lewis Gun round? We already know those don't work for...reasons...
Tbf you eventually outspend on ammo whatever you save on any gun
