You've got a good point about a handgun. The few times I went bear hunting here. (the bait was 40 yards away) I packed a trusty Cimmarron Thunderer in 45 LC loaded as hot as a SSA could go. I was hunting with a 358 brushgun. The Thunderer was backup. The plan was if I put one down I'd approach him with the Thunderer cocked and pointed at him or for any other eventuality such as wounding ole bruin and running out of 358's as he charged the blind. I didn't have the short barreled 308 F then. If I go bear hunting again I will take it loaded with 220 grain partitions.
