I wouldn't depend on a 30-30, and that's twice as powerful as a 44 Mag. I just don't think it's a good idea to depend on "power," short of a shoulder-breaking rifle/shotgun round. 9mm, 40, 45 aren't much more than an extension of bear spray that you can "spray" into the wind. For me, though, they're better than revolvers.
