Kudos to Phil. Hell of a shot(s). I guess that a 9mm could be bear medicine in the right hands.

The Bear protection thread here in the General BG forum covers it in pretty good detail. What I would offer as a take-away is that choose a handgun that you are familiar, comfortable and competent with and load it with stout, heavy non-expanding ammo and always remain cautious.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
