I Have been guiding brown bear hunters in Alaska for 43 years and having killed charging bears with many calibers from the 9mm parabellum to the 505 Gibbs, I can say unequivocally that NO handgun caliber makes a good bear stopping round for tracking wounded bears.
My choice of rifle calibers rests somewhere between the 375 H&H & the 458 Winchester
