I get tired of people who post that a handgun is useless against a bear.
Get the August issue of, "Sporting Classics" and read how a dentist in Alaska used a .44 Magnum (looks to be a stainless Super Blackhawk) to save himself and a pal from a bear that attacked them as they dressed out a moose.
This is not the sole incident of which I'm aware in which a handgun saved someone's life in a bear attack, but it is well written, and back issues should be available from the publisher.
Oh: it was a one-shot kill.
