Hi all,

I have the opportunity to go Handgun Hunting for Bear this year and need some advice.

I have been "advised" to keep a shotgun or rifle handy while stand hunting Black Bears with a Handgun this fall. The problem is, I have no idea what to put in my shotgun since it doesn't have a rifled barrel.

Is there some sort of slug that works in a non-rifled barrel? This will be shot out of an 18" Barrelled "Riot Gun" for defensive purposes only if the 44 Mag and I fail, and the bear is intent on making me his supper.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the dumb question, but hunting with a shotgun was never my thing.
