16 rounds of 10mm in a Glock 20 trumps any revolver as a hostile woods defence sidearm from my personal experience. Not only can you control the recoil better but you are much faster at putting multiple rounds into the target. The key here is "multiple rounds". After 27 years of hard core bowhunting and hunting around the country. Money isn't a object for me anymore and I can carry anything I want on my hunts. It's AWAYS a Glock 20 when hunting bear as a back up side arm. I even carry a G20 as a back-up when hunting with my 454 Casull. Most all professional Handgun hunters have the opinion and have written that the 357mag is a marginal hunting round even for whitetail deer.
I am not really a Glock fan but as the 10mm goes. The G20 is lighter than most revolvers, holds way more rounds, and is damn near indestructable. It can take rain, snow, and won't effect its dependability. If my G20 was too big, I carried a G29.
