It all depends what type of hunting your doing. Black bear, in my area, are generally hunted over bait at about 35yds or under, or your using hounds and the bear is treed. Either way a handgun is common. I used a 44 mag. One of the most successful guides in Maine uses a 41 mag Ruger blackhawk. I believe a 10mm, properly loaded, would be fine. A Glock wouldn't be my choice but if you can shoot it accurate enough all the power to you. Nothing kills slower then bow hunting and there are more bow hunters then handgun hunters.
If your doing spot and stalk a 10mm isn't a great choice.
