I'am also not surprised a 44 mag could take down a brown bear . Personally
i think a 44 with a 4-6 inch barrel would be ideal for bear country. Easier to carry than a long riffle . And with good loads like a 270 grain going 1,400 +
fps it's still a very powerful load . I think some of these pistols like 454 , and
S&W 500 are overkill . The recoil is so huge that if you needed a follow up shot it would be too slow . Not that 44 is fast but faster than those 2 .
