i have had good luck with the 44 magnum pistola.
I don't think you've ever hunted what is called "dangerous game". Even with Black bear, which are little guys compared to Grizzly, and then Polar Bear in size...you want a magnum rifle...period. A .44 magnum pistol, even the new Smith .50 is a popgun by comparison. Don't get me wrong, handguns are fun. But they do have their limits when it comes to ft. lbs. of energy delivered. Heebies & Jeebies? Even then, your chances of a one shot kill are better with a magnum rifle, simply because of it's stopping power.
