I am going on a multi day snow shoeing and camping trip tomorrow. I am trying to decide if I should take my glock 32 in .357 sig or if I should stick with the 686 357 mag revolver I carry for the other three seasons in the sticks. The bears go hibernate generally by mid November so I don't expect to see one this time of year. Obviously the size, weight and capacity favor the glock also.

Would you be okay with a 357sig with 125 gr gold dots hp's and also bb and DT fmj loads for the winter or would you still prefer 7 rounds of 357 mag and heavier bullet options?
