A strong load of .357 mag would probably do the trick if you had the chance for a few shots, but you wouldn’t catch me out there with anything smaller than a .44 mag. Autoloaders could try a 10mm but I wouldn’t feel safe without something bigger.
The Danish Sirius patrol in Greenland carries Glock 20's for polar bear defense. They have proven effective and a Polar bear is a lot bigger than anything in Montana.
I agree that a 10mm is adequate in most situations. I’ve seen Alaskan hunters take down moose with a single well placed shot from a 10mm.
>I wouldn’t feel safe without something bigger.
you can take my dick with you then, coward
Hey man you go ahead and fight with a knife and a 9mm I won’t hold you back
.38 Special

I had links to bear shootings involving all calibers, truth is you can kill a grizzly with even a 22, but the smaller the caliber the more bullets you need. For a grizzly the 22 shooter and the 9mm shooter needed to reload several times to kill it, I think in one instance of 9mm the thing clawed the guy's face off.
357 and 10mm is the sweet spot for 1 shot one kill type shit. Anything above that, or anything that's spitfire hot in those loads will definitely do the trick. When in doubt 357 .
nah a dude in alaska famously killed one with 7 rounds of 9mm, using buffalo bore rounds
10mm and 357 magnum are weak as frick.
Lol
They are significantly weaker than varmint loads of 223.
bears are friends, these threads are slander

You don't need anything bigger than .22, just shoot it a lot
>minimum handgun caliber
.22lr
Ah the bear thread where a bunch of noguns tourists try to argue that bears are bulletproof
Me? I'd carry a Glock 17 or Glock 20. Yes 9mm will kill a bear, again they're not bulletproof and only noguns think so
I’ve shot blackbear with both 9mm and .357 and in my experience, 9mm just pisses them off until you empty half a magazine into them and they finally die from blood loss. .357 usually does the job in 1-2 rounds.
imagine being scared of a bear lmao
hopefully your monkeypox will clear up in time for your nature walk, powerbottom
I'd like you to see you not be scared when one has cubs and charges you at 30mph
There has never been a case of .44magnum not being successful in deterring a bear attack.
Yes there was
Why not just bring a S&W 500 Mag? That will do the trick. I guess you could save a couple hundred bucks buying something smaller. Personally, I like to think my life is worth more than a couple hundred extra in my account.
Good luck hitting a running bear when you adrenaline dump from seeing it running at you and your hands shake so bad you couldn't hit steel at 10 yards + good luck lining up a second third fourth fifth sixth shot after a miss
OP didn't ask how to shoot a bear if he was a complete pussy and couldn't aim. He asked what caliber would be effective. Fricking pussy.
t. noguns neverhunted
Just like a child. Thanks for proving my point.
Back to r*ddit where you s*y chuggers belong
460 is more sensible and shoots a bunch of other lesser calibers too
why don't you try using a rifle
