I believe if we set those guidelines, this thread would soon fade away. Better IMHO to allow the free expression of ideas of what one man's perfect solution to the proper handgun for bears. I am enjoying reading other's post on this thread.

We'd have to listen to 458 win tell us how its done. He did it with a 9mm and lived to tell the story. I don't think I'd want to try it, but since there is no such thing as kinetic energy and "knock down power", I think I'd be alright.. ha ha..
