Here you go Chip
I am going to go out on a limb and guess you were referring to the .50 AE. It's a very good weapon and a decent round but (for it's size) it has relatively low penetrating power and because of it's size and the pistol is an semi-automatic you need pretty large hands to shoot it well. My personal choice for bear defense as a carry pistol would be a Ruger super redhawk in .454 Casull. It has way more power, 1871 ft/lbs at muzzle compared to 1414 ft/lbs for .50, comparable to 300 Weatherby, and I can find a grip to fit my medium to small hand plus the gun itself is about half the cost. I wouldn't advocate anybody shooting a bear,you'll probably just make him mad, but as a final option I want something that might actually go completely thru the bear!D.
