Just the bear necessities..................

Extreme accuracy and speed with handguns are seldom necessary.

And not necessarily a large caliber pistol either. A .22 saved my life when I was hiking with my girlfriend when we unexpectedly roused a black bear. When it charged, reflexes took over, I pulled my pistol and took a hurried shot that struck my girlfriend in the leg and I was able to get away unharmed. So, yes, even a .22 pistol can save your life too.
