And yes everyone knows Phil stopped one with a 9mm. even a Blind Hog finds a acorn every now and then

Dang, now that I've seen that add I can quit packing this big, heavy aluminum frames 9mm !
This blind hog is not recommending anyone carry a 9mm if they know they are not capable with one or don't wish to, but I have found more than a few acorns over the past four decades.

My heavy gun is a .35 W with 250 gr Partition's and or Interlokts.
Karnis doctored the Boyd's JRS stock and now it fits me like a glove.
Guess that would be my choice.

But how many shots did Phil fire into that bear, as an expert marksman with a pistol, to say nothing of his marksmanship skill with rifles? Very few, if any, have his confidence or skill level. And remember the native girl in Alberta that killed a record-breaking grizzly with a single shot .22LR. She brained it with one shot. But the bear was unaware of her presence just a few feet away. My oldest son has killed dozens of wart hog in Africa in the same way --using HIS single-shot .22LR. They were coming in to a water hole and he was up a tree waiting for them. He shot them for protein -- in the ear hole. When he missed the ear hole he had a merry chase around the forest. I saw one of those skulls pockmarked by .22-cal holes. He was a licensed resident big game hunter -- and missionary. At home on furlough in Canada, he did a bear hunt with me. He didn't take a .22LR of any kind, but his M94 XTR in .356 Winchester loaded with 220gr Speers that I'd done up for him. Yes, it worked on bear. Bob www.bigbores.ca

CZ550,
I have read different stories of the big Alberta grizzly. It wandered by while Bella Twin and her friend Dave Auger were hunting grouse with the single-shot .22, and the only reason she shot was because it came so close she was afraid it might charge. In at least one version the bear looked at them--the reason she shot, so it might not have been unaware of them. Also, somebody examined the skull later, and though the first shot reportedly dropped the bear, there were quite a few .22 holes, probably to make sure the bear stayed down!

bea175,
I'll also note that "Nine Mil Phil" was using a 9mm bullet specifically designed for deep penetration, and has thoroughly tested it beforehand, as he does with all hunting bullets. One went through the shoulder area of the bear, and its nose was found poking out of the muscle just under the hide on the far side. It may or may not have been the bullet that "killed" the bear, but certainly contributed, as bullets which completely penetrate any animal's vitals tend to do.

I recall being at a friend's 'skinning garage' a few years ago when they peeled a modest bear's skull out of the hide...and there in a divot in the skull near the eye was a misshapen copper washed chunk of lead quite obviously resembling a 22 LR slug. I don't recall hearing about anyone getting torn up after '22-ing' their way through a bear confrontation, so perhaps 'karma' was imposed on someone's fish rack instead. Ultimately, the bear met with a 3/8" fire-pipe shortly after a spring wake-up call though.
