The choice between the two calibers is subjective.
1). Being in Pa. & Traveling no farther north than NY. But hunting in woods as far as SC.
Choice is ...10mm. As it has less ballistic power than a .41 magnum. ( just shy)
2). U in Canadian and Alaskan woods ventures you just might have to defend against bigger brown bears (I never saw their tracks or traces)
Choice would be 265 gr. --300 gr. hard cast in ..429 caliber AKA .44 Magnum.

I think that's why Clint Smith went from packing a .45 cal. 1911 to EDC the 4 inch nickel mod. 29. in 44 Mag.

far from griz country here and don't want to go there, but have heard that breaking the shoulder first is the best way to get them down and give a person a chance to survive.

I want the G29 10mm for a edc pistol.

black bear, cougar, wild boar by the herds, coyote packs.......

between the 2 i'd say .44 mag & lots of speed-loaders

if other calibers can be chosen i'd say HOT .45 Colt OR .357
