I think the .455 and .45 ACP would be woefully underpowered for that purpose....as would most actual handgun calibers. There's a reason howdah pistols were as large bore as one could manage. IMHO only.




The .455 is a powder puff and the .45 ACP more or less as well.

Having said that either would be better than nothing.




As I referred to defensive use and referred to numerous accounts of actual bear attacks. As I said there accounts pretty much showecany decent handgun was useful. In either stopping an attack or lessening it's severity. The threads are on NE. I'm not saying it will kill the best but either prevent the attack following through or lessen it. Phil on here used a 9mm to kill a brown bear in a charge. Lucky but true.

It's not about hunting and killing them.

But anyway, mostly a moot point. Good to discuss and argue about.




I post it before, the 9 mm is useless at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f55_mFAOvRA
