“Yep, all that Glock will do is piss the grizzly off.”

Hmmmm...

“We have found four cases where 9 mm pistols were used to defend against bears. All were successful...

...The male grizzly bluff charged several times...The aggressive bear was finally shot with the 9 mm pistol at close range. It ran off...the bear was found dead the next day. Eye-witness believes it was one shot to the chest of the bear.”

One can never be certain, but there are a number of cases where shooting a big bear with a small handgun worked out OK for the shooter.
