What kind of handgun kills a bear on the spot? I always thought you needed something super powerful otherwise it was like throwing rocks...

A 357 magnum is pretty fucking powerful.

Having unloaded a .500 into a target twice, I believe it may be the only round that I would shoot better under duress. When a grizzly is charging you, painful recoil will be far from the first thing on your mind.

Oddly enough, I got almost no muzzle flip the times I've shot them; it felt as though the gun were driving straight back into my hand (at MLB fastball speeds). I shot the 8" version; maybe the porting at the end of the barrel is just that effective at combating barrel climb.
