Been thinking of buying the wife a revolver that uses moon clips, as they seem the easiest to load, then unload, and load again without screwing with a speed loader.
Something small enough she can stick in a pocket when hiking. But large enough to at least get a brown bears attention. That's probably asking too much. I don't expect a "dead right there" bear, but one that knows any further aggression is going to hurt.
She has a Charter Arms Bulldog in 44Special. It's the right size, and not a bad cartridge, but no moon clips.
I'm considering something in .40S&W, 10mm, or 45ACP.
Thoughts?
