"I usually carry a 357 though an incident like this, three attacking simultaneously, I magazine capacity could be an issue."

I dunno about that. He only needed one round. I bet the very loud report of a .357 would scare most of a "pack" away. And if 6 rounds of .357 can't do the job against any given bear then you were probably dead from the word go regardless of what you were carrying.

That’s true. I usually have five rounds, but I know in the unlikely event I ever had to deal with a bear, if I needed more than two his teeth would already be in me.
