Just thought i would add a footnote for all:
One reason I use Corbon ammo is because of their common sense approach to the lethal defense ammo equation. You can use all of the high-tech bullets you want, but Peter Pi knows that the real key is and always has been velocity. You have to get the velocity to a sufficient level to cause a violent energy transfer into the target. With that being said, I remember some posts regarding what weapon you would carry in the woods, to say, fend off a bear or mountain lion. Of course, the recommendations all started with a .357 mag, preferably a .44 mag if possible.
I just got my Glock annual in the mail (I shoot them and belong to their club because they were nice enough to let me win a G34 at a match a couple of years ago) and lo and behold, what do I find? In the "tales of the gun" section i find a story about a man in Anchorage, AK who was awakened by the sounds of an apparent break in around 2:30am. Upon grabbing his surefire 6P and his weapon, he found the perpetrator to be a full grown grizzly bear. he stood his ground as the bear charged, and engaged the bear with his Glock .40 caliber (yes, a .40 S&W, not a 10mm) pistol, hitting the animal with 9 out of 10 shots, 4 being fatal wounds. The bear dropped in his tracks dead. After police arrived, they found that the rounds had done their job, killing the bear.
The rounds he used in his .40 caliber pistol?
180 Grain CorBon hollowpoints, 1300fps velocity..........
