A pistol in a fight with a Bear.... no thanks! Many years ago when living up in Alaska a buddy shot a grizzly bear about 4 times with a 30-06. It took off we found it a couple hours later. Watched him for about 1/2 an hour for movement. Upon approaching what appeared to be a dead bear a 3rd person with us pulled out a 1911 45. Shot em in the head a couple times to make sure he was dead. Yeh...... both bullets ricocheted off the Bear's thick skull. Good thing the bear was dead already that 1911 45 was worthless.
I just leave you with something to think about in your selection. Don't underestimate the speed any bear, they can do what appears to be zero to 30 MPH in a heartbeat if they want.
Also a large flare gun can be handy in more ways than one.
