I always thought JD Jones made sense with his idea of a bear defense packing handgun.....
4" 44 mag with heavy hard bullets for penetration loaded to around 1,000 fps second.
He thought high velocity ammo could cause recoil issues for a fast follow up shot and preferred more controllable ammo, allowing the hard cast bullet to punch a hole in the bear for blood loss.
For me it would be a 41 Magnum with a 250 gr Keith style hard cast running 1,200 fps but thats just me : )
