Best .45 ACP round for black bear protection

[F. Vaccaro]

Wow! Thread started in 2021- Dec of 24 & the 10mm crowd didn't ruin it! Some good posts here, I live & hunt in grizzly country & am ALWAYS armed when in the hills.
Thanks fellas.

Wouldn’t a 10mm be a better choice in a semi automatic handgun for self defense against black bears ?

Pretty much bears …Period. Grizz, brown, black or Polar.

Brownie ….

Blackie ….

Unless you throw Water Buff into the mix, but then the 10mm puts those down too.

Razor Dobbs and his 10mm Razorback say so.

Buff ….

Would anyone happen to know the difference between a .45 Super and the .460 Rowland? I was just reading where the Rowland can send a 230gr. bullet @1340fps. vs. the .45ACP at 950fps. That's a HUGE difference!
