If someone wants to use a handgun on a grizzly they would be advised to first file the sights all the way down. That way it won't hurt so bad when the bear shoves it up their hind end.

A .454 Casull is more than enough, I think. Still, I'd rather have a rifle and some dogs with me for a big griz.

I think that you should do a little research on hand guns and as bear protection. I know you well find lots of cases where a hand gun not only stops but kills the bear. Wasn't that long ago in AK. A fellow shot and dropped a brown with one shot of a 9mm

. For those who follow your advice might as well just stay out of the woods. Personal I rather shove the thing into the bear and touch her off a few times. Fighting is better then letting yourself become bear food.

Yes I have hunted and kill a few bears and know lots of people who have also. Have You.
