I'm probably a thousand miles from the nearest brown/grizzly bear. So I'm reading this thread from an academic standpoint.
The heaviest bear handgun I have is a six inch .357. I could load it up with Buffalo Bore hard cast 180s. It would do the job, but seems a bit light.
If I thought I'd run into such a bear, I'd want my home defense shotgun with sabot slugs, and back it up with a .454.
