After talking with many bear guides and reading many articles by bear guides their universal opinion is that penatration is THE key to reliable bear stopping. Most every guide has nothing but bad experence with hollowpoint handgun bullets. They expand too fast and as a rule wont break a bears skull. So the only reliable way a handgun can be used in a DEFENSIVE situation against a bear is to use a bullet that wont expand thus the fmj or heavy hard cast is their chioce. Again this is not from my personal experence but from many proffesional experenced guides.
