Would a 9mm hollow point be effective against a bear?

I don’t wish bears any harm, but don’t want to be mauled. I CCW when hiking in bear country.

The couple sought safety on the roof. Michael fired several shots at the bear with a .22-caliber handgun to try to scare it away. It left. When it did, he jumped down from the roof and took off to get help. He took the gun to defend himself, thinking his wife would be safe on the roof. She wasn’t. While he was gone, the bear climbed a spruce tree next to the cabin, got onto the roof and killed Darcy.

When Michael returned with help, she was on the ground dead with the bear trying to eat her. The animal was shot and killed.
