shotgun has always been a great defense gun against man or bear tuff to beat.
I definitely disagree with that.
Can you expand on that?
No way am I relying on shot to get through heavy hair and having energy to get deep and kill fast. Plus it is going to expand very little if any at all, minimal energy transfer, the .33 caliber pellets aren't very heavy.
Yeah, I know there is 000 which probably works fine as long as everything goes smooth but if it were going smooth you wouldn't be in the situation to defend yourself.
At least with a large caliber rifle you can break bones that bullet is capable of breaking several in one shot.
Never been in bear country but I can see something in .33 or larger and an 18-20" barrel being mighty handy.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
