Also feel less anxious about bumping around the woods with a super tough tenifer finish instead of bluing or even shiny stainless.

Also, the Glock will likely handle a lot more rounds of hot ammo than a Delta would without issues but that's a moot point to me.
I'm about to "pull the trigger" on getting a new pistol for bear protection. (I've been carring my Glock 22 in 40 S&W.) I'm working as an assistant hunting guide in Southeast Alaska. I keep changing my mind between 45 and 10mm. Actually I was all set to buy the 10mm but then the guy I work with got the 45 and I thought it would be nice if the crap hit the fan, if we had the same ammo and mags. Thoughts?
