as in all hunting and defensive handgun use,
precise shot placement, and yes that requires practice,
with BEARS deep penetration, the ability to punch through thick bone,
100% dependability, and only a slightly lesser degree,
the ability to place several shots very rapidly & accurately does matter.
and knowledge of the anatomy of the game is critical to success
and yes obviously your choice in weaponry and ammo selection ,
and developing your skill's in their rapid, and effective use matters
but it certainly helps to have good quality ammo, thats been designed for decent penetration,
to allow you too break bones and destroy the vital organs,
keep in mind that there's been a running debate over what caliber and pistol or revolver has been close to ideal.
and the fact that a bear is both difficult to kill quickly and that you'll have only seconds to defend against a charge.
which frequently is made from short-range cover.
having a large magazine capacity is far less of an advantage
if you only have seconds to react,
and quite possibly only time for one or two shots.
YES bears have been killed with cartridges like a 357 mag or 45 acp,
there's also been mauling's after a bears been repeatedly shot
YES there's also been a few mauling's after bears have been wounded.
Id point out that the vast majority of bear attacks happen at very close range,
thus your limited time frame available for defensive use of any firearm will be very limited
so having more than 5-6 shots that a magnum revolver holds in a semi auto handgun,
may be of limited potential benefit,
in the few seconds you have to shoot accurate shot placement and deep penetration
are of more benefit than a few extra rounds you never get to fire!
read the link above,
having, a decent handgun and effective shot placement from that handgun,
is a well-proven defensive tool, if your alert, and skilled in its use.
having the best cartridge and handgun in your backpack is worthless

Reasonably Decent Bear Protection In A Handgun
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NQfUEVlCjws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTL9Vh6gxFI I watched the video above and its almost sure to open your eyes in how difficult it can be to stop a bear with a hand gun. personally I think a magnum revolver is ideal as your very unlikely to have the time...
