Here is a true bear gun. My Henry .44mag Mare's Leg.
*Disclaimer: Do not give this gun to an actual bear.*

A single shot from a 357 Magnum can stop a Grizzly Bear charge.

That is not an anecdotal remark, unless you can cite an incident where that is alleged to have happened. Your comment is simply speculation and conjecture, nothing more.
