The results of the latest research on how effective pistols are in stopping bear attacks. All instances of handgun use against bears that could be found were included.

Very interesting. Thanks for this.

Very informative. Thanks.

An interesting read. Thanks for posting.

As always we are looking more data if any one has a failure or a save please let me know.

I'll see that the author includes it in the data base.

Good enough for me. I would rather die shooting than die running, anyways!

At bear camp last year, a friend shot his bear with a single round from his .460 S&W. Head shot.

BH63

Head shots don't count, most pistols will kill about anything with a head shot..

One thing Im sure of a pistol beats the hell out of a switch blade and can of bear spray, but not a 30-30..
