Yes its 'enough gun' for bears. Place your shots well and use a bullet designed for taking game that size. Don't load it with 180gr JHP and go looking for Yogi.
I take black bears with a 7 1/2 SRH in .454 Casull, but I would feel very comfortable with the .44 mag. I use a 300 gr XTP. This gives good penetration and some expansion. You need penetration far more than expansion on bigger game.
There are two schools of thought on this. Some guys prefer a really large revolver, like a 500S&W. Much heftier, so when you're empty and throw it at the bear, you have a better chance of braining him. Thriftier guys, who hate throwing away a perfectly good, if useless when empty gun, opt for 44 magnums, especially very lightweight revolvers like the 329PD. Slows you down much less when you're runing for your life.
