and each one with a different caliber and none put the bear down with one shot. They were 44 magnum (on 2 bears), 41 GNR and 510 GNR. The 44 Magnums took most of a cylinder full, the 41 GNR 5 rounds and the 510 GNR 2 rounds. So really I don't think there is a standard hand held handgun that will put a pissed off bear down with one shot. I am sure there are occasions where one shot has but it wasn't with this Tennessee boy behind the trigger.
