pistol: ruger sp101. A revolver is as reliable as it gets and I'm pretty sure that if I shoot a bear 15 times and hit it 5 times one of them will put it down.
And what will the bear be doing while you're doing all this reloading?

You definitely need a Forty. Opposing force will have lots of forty caliber ammo...

I would say what ever firearm you have, get used to shooting it in the rain.
And the snow.
And on really hot days.
I love rainy days, I normally get the outdoor ranges all to myself.
My daughter looked at me like I had 2 heads when we shot outside in 10 degree weather. The whole range was empty, and it sucked slogging out to hang targets.
I will say that I do draw the line at the target stands being burried by snow, but otherwise, get out and shoot.
Have taken several multi day classes that were outdoors and ran in rain, snow, etc. Worst is chilly rain changing to baking sun and then back to chilly rain.
