When the guide was recently killed by a bear, the news said there was a handgun available, but that the client didn't know how to operate a Glock. I wondered why the guide hadn't taken something more appropriate like maybe, a 45-70 Marlin.
But here's an article about the efficacy of handguns in stopping a bear attack. The primary criteria was that 1) the gun had to be actually fired and 2) the bear no longer attacked. The second criterion could have been because the bear was killed or simply fled the scene.
Anyway, it's an interesting article.

I think I'm in the market for a new, stainless double action 44 mag revolver.......
"Redhawk", anyone?
