Tasing bears seems risky to me unless some type of longer "Bear probes" are used. I'll bet there is a 12 ga. aimed in by a backup officer when the Taser is employed just in case. Tasers only work when both probes bury into flesh to make good contact. Leather jackets, fur coats and loose clothing can prevent good contact. Taser probes spread out fast beyond 15'. If one probe misses the jig is up. Not much time to transition within 15' from iron jaws.
Standard handgun course of fire at the range includes a double tap center mass or double center then one to the head to stop a threat. It takes many trips to the range and many rounds down range to develop good muscle memory. Accurately shooting a 50 round course with double and triple taps using a large hand cannon should qualify as extreme sport event. Shooting multiple hand cannon courses within a couple hours at the range would be superhuman. However, the same course or multiple courses using a 10mm or 45acp is very doable and actually enjoyable. Better training, better response under stress.
