Um... a pistol is not for scaring the bear off. Pissed off bears do not scare.
You use the major caliber pistol to try to STOP the bear (which usually means headshots if you can make them) when it charges you. Bears are faster, stronger, and heavier than man.

I had that feeling. What would give you a real margin of safety? A bazooka?

Ursus horribilis can run 100 yd. in 6 seconds. A bullet of 325 grains in the CNS is the solution.
