Rothdel,
You realize what ever you choose will be mercilessly criticized.
Personally, I'd ignore the recommendations for a handgun and go with a pump shotgun.
Even though it's big and clumsy as compared to a handgun, when it's cold and your pal is wearing heavy clothes and thick gloves, the venerable 12 gauge might be just right.
And easier to use than trying to find and operate a pistol.
Everything I've ever read about bear attacks suggests there will be little time between realizing the danger and getting off even one shot.
And it will more than likely to be a really close shot.
He might just be staring right down the beast's craw.
Gotta' think that one shot should be a really big one.
