I choose to carry a .45 auto loaded with hard cast 230 grainers.

I shoot with the firearms trainer for the G&F Grizzly bear management team and he is really interesting to talk to. His recommendation (and the same is true of all members of the team) is good old pepper spray.

BTW, the bear team has a moving target and man is it cool. Comes right at you at 15-20 miles per hour. None of the guys can hit it anyway so what's the difference? Seriously, to stop a balck bear in his tracks you need to hit him in the brain or central nervous system and the .45 auto will accomplish that if you do your part.
