Woah. I must ask further in my quest to understand last resort bear encounter gun tips. What about an .45 calibred pistol with an magazine alternating between normal and hollow points? I get the skull take, even some fighting dogs are immune to 9mm skull shots. I don't live in America, don't own a gun but know a lot about guns, just very interested in this topic

.44 magnum is barely on par with an intermediate rifle round like 5.56 against large game. And that's before considering the massively lower felt recoil or the fact that a rifle is much easier to aim

So .500 blackout?

I carry a .45-70 rifle with me when I'm up north. The high powered rounds I have for bears will also fell an elephant. (In theory. I really don't want to find out.)
