Master bear guide Phil Shoemaker killed a brown bear with 9mm. He also did it with a 3” barreled S&W model 60 j-frame 357 mag.

He goes by the handle “458win”


Yes he did. It was all he had and he was very fortunate the bear wasn’t charging him. I’m not taking anything away from this, as he saved his client’s bacon. That doesn’t make a compact 9mm a bear gun.

I think satir’s handle is missing the “e” on the end.
