Do any of the mentioned pistol cartridges have as much ME as the by today's standards lowly .30-30W? Which I doubt would be ones first choice for a bear stopper.

Almost any rifle is better than almost any handgun.
Then again, any handgun is better than a sharp stick!
Is there a single less meaningful measure of bullet efficacy than ME? I have yet to see one less reliable.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
