I carried a LAR Grizzly in 45 win mag auto for awhile. I killed a bear, several deer and an antelope with it. It worked fine.

We have quite a few grizzlies around and I got to thinking if a bear ever charged and I got a shot off but (hit or not) the bear still got me down. The pistol would be cocked and ready to shoot again. Would I possibly shoot my self in the scuffle?

Anyway I went back to a revolver. Make mine 44 mag, heavy loaded 45 colt, or 454 thank you.

I don't think it's all bullet placement when it comes to protection. Sure it any caliber kill but how long, and how far will the victim/animal go?
