Yes, Para makes darned good guns. And the 45ACP has been gettin it done for a VERY long time. Lots of loads out there that are more than Boar and Bear capable. No less a Bear Expert than Jim Hackewicz (with nearly 900 black bears to his credit) is going to use a Sig P-220 in 45ACP that I sold him on a Black Bear this year. IF I can get fairly close I want to try my 10mm on one. It seemed to make an impression on the hog I shot with it this year. Jims bear specific handload is a 200gr SWC at just over 1,000fps. There are hotter badder loads out there of course.
