Well Kieth,I guess this is one situation where I would have to admit that my 1911 .45ACP may not be the ideal choice.I would have to say .454 Casull,300 GR. bullet. I am aware of the existence of the .475 Linebaugh which can push 435 GR. bullets at about 1350 fps.which I am sure could do the job if I could ever overcome the flinch and actually HIT the bear in question.
