if not, then a semi auto full size handgun
I'd suggest a 9mm since you'd be going for quantity over quality of hits with any handgun cartridge, but if you can find something in 10mm for that cheap (only a used glock comes to mind, but I don't know shit about 10mm), go for that since its pretty potent, but ammo is expensive

>>29761334
This. If you want it really compact, get a folding stock.

Is the Grizzly a good shotgun? There are websites selling them with 12.5 inch barrels in 12 and 20 gauge for about $350. How are they in terms of durability and reliability in cold and/or wet conditions?

>>29761420
They're perfectly fine, but you may want to be wary of the magfed ones. 12ga is not ideal for box mags and they certainly won't be compact.

Shotgun suits all that. Buy some slugs and buckshot too and you're set.
I'm looking at getting one of these Grizzly shotguns with the tube-mag. It's only 2+1 but innawoods that should be all you need.

well fuck, disregard that then, I can't read

>2+1

That should be fine, (I was considering a double barrel anyway) but is that with a plug in the tube or is that how it is normally? Also what's do the regs say about ammo limits in Canada? Is 3 rounds the limit for all shotguns or just semis?

scared of a bad ol putty tat?

bangor?

The tube is only large enough to hold 2 shells. There is not mag limit on manual action shotguns, and the limit for semi autos is 5.

>>29761512
Pump actions have no mag limits. It's 2+1 just 'cause it's short. There's a 4+1 version too I think. 5 is limit for semi-auto non-restricted funs. I have a double barrel. It's a bit heavy and there's no goddamn strap on it so be wary of that when you're in the market.

>>29761299
if you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to find a CZ 527 for 500 bucks.

>all these people recommending handguns and small bore rifles to use against bear and moose

Why?

12 GA shotgun or moist nugget.

>>29762138
"I hatchet jack, being of sound mind and broke legs...." gets me every time.

>>29762217
Thoughts on the M44 nugget for a good camping/hiking/innawoods defence gun?

Also, what about the M305? Besides weight, it seems great. And 20+1 of .308 should be enough for any bear.
>But mag limiiiiiiits
Canada suffers from a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field, causing metallic firearms magazine pins to be pulled loose. Someone should look into that.
