Dude examines 37 cases of handguns being used in defense against bears.
Goes to show that shot placement, type of bullet, and magazine capacity play into the discussion along with caliber.
Interesting that I didn't see any mention of SW .500. Everyone knows that you just fire that round in the general direction of the bear and its insides turn to jelly.
