Tell him to sell his Beretta 92 and get a Glock Model 20 (10mm).
Will that stop a charging Black Bear?
I don’t know. I know that IFF you place it where it needs to be placed it will.
+P is a pressure spec, has nothing to do with the bullet weight. SAAMI has +P specs for some cartridges but not others. In the case of 9mmPretty much every manufacturer puts that in their manual. It's to reduce their liability in case somebody blows the gun up with Jim Bob's +P+++ Ogre Zapper gun show reloads.
That said, the load you mentioned seems pretty odd:
There isn't a SAAMI spec for +P 147gr ammo, and that seems pretty warm to me. I'd be leery of using it, especially since it's not jacketed.
And I know of one Pistol that says Rated for +P continuous use.

A friend just got a Beretta 92. He lives in the Catskills and want to use this for woods carry as it is his only handgun right now.
I suggested Buffalobore Outdoorsman, but his manual states that +P is not recommended.
Every read a story where a cop only fired one round, me neither. It's just about unload the whole mag.
I never realized the 9mm was so underpowered.
