[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 1092527, member: 4768"] I have never hunted big bears before- so my opinion is somewhat uninformed. That being said I think the best bear defense handgun is a high capacity .45 with a .460 Rowland conversion. You end up with what is essentially a 14 shot .44 mag. No doubt the largest caliber revolvers are more powerful- but a properly placed .44 mag will kill any brown bear quickly. All the charges I have ever heard of are very high stress situations where there is not much time to aim, etc. I would think for every one shot a guy could get off with a large revolver the same guy could get 3-5 rounds out of a .460 Rowland. In that scenario my money is on the auto. [/QUOTE]
