Bear protection handguns?

My biggest issue is I have a hand span of 10 3/8 so most grips are small and the web takes a beating unless I switch out to larger grips. Then big bores become manageable in my hands. I really don't mind shooting them at all. I have friend with Contender 45-70 that is most recoil I have shot but it was incredibly accurate! Little tough to carry and one shot.

What's a hand span?
 
Like the width of a front bear paw..., or a spread hand 🖐
10 3/8" is the width!?!
No offense, but how tall are you and do you get your gloves custom made? I'm impressed 😮
Edit*
Just as a reference, horses are measured in "hands" which equates to roughly 4" for the width. I'm gonna measure mine now cuz I doubt I'm even at 6".
