The Buffalo Bore rounds are what made the difference in this case I suspect.

The opposite of proven in tests, and choosing the most pessimistic scenario. Which is what Buffalo Bore does.

Shot placement and hard cast bullets probably made the difference...But a 9mm (or any pistol/revolver under .40 caliber, other than a .357), is “iffy” and would not ever be my choice for bear defense...
Pounded a lot of ground in central Alaska as a young infantry NCO, and our point and drag guys were armed with 12 ga pump guns, loaded with slugs for bear encounters...

Yep, I think the “journalist” used up his entire “clip” of commas in the second sentence.
