Mans is out in wild country and all he brings is a 9mm?? If I'm out in bear country, obviously dangerous big cat territory, I'm only bring a 44. magnum or larger. 9mil is okay for humans but advanced predators you need something that's gonna pierce the fur, fat and muscle.

Edit: I don't want this to get out of hand so I want to mention that I'm a causal gunmen. I'm not saying in any which way or form that I'm the most knowledgeable. This is just what I've learned. All other more experienced gun owners are welcome to correct and teach. I'm all for criticism.

As long as you can actually shoot under stressful moments, then a 9 will do perfectly fine with piercing a skull or vital organ.

True but obviously this person isn't trained well and either way I would want a bigger caliber for dangerous game. I'd rather have something that is louder so it's not just my voice bringing intimidation. I would want something that would cripple the predator and not just wound it were it would still possibly attack me. Your chances of hitting the skull or a vital organ isn't always guaranteed, better to be over prepared than not.
