If that sucker is bearing down on you; shoot it hard and fast with whatever you got! Seriously though, if you even think you may run into Mr. Bear, take the most potent round you have in a pistol size as a BACKUP to your favorite trusty rifle. I personally have not read/heard about any encounters with a bear & a .45 acp so I do not know the realistic answer.

Too funny mavracer; I have heard plenty of stories of deer hunting with the 45 but I agree that 10mm is the minimum with a trusty 41/44 the way to go.

Scary! I bet those duded totally **** their pants on that one, I know I would! The narrator said that the guy discharged his rifle in front of the bear; so good to know they can be scared by less-than-deadly force/noise but if that thing had kept coming those guys might be alive to tell the tale.

You are correct sir, they did say revolver; from the angle I couldnt tell and just assumed; either way, one freaky encounter.
