I know the best choice for Grizzly Bears is probablhy a 10mm semi-auto pistol, or a .454 Casul caliber revolver. But, all you guys in those parts of the country that have to consider carrying something that will stop a Grizzly Bear, would a Taurus Judge loaded with .410 slugs be effective? I know they say that a rifle is too long to have it on target in time if you're being charged by a Grizzly, hence the recommendations I've read that recommmend carrying a short barrel pistol or revolver, preferably in a shoulder rig. So, many on the forums, advise that most charging Grizzlys will be in very close proximity, at least to the extent that the shorter barrel will be on target more quickly at such close distances.
They say that you would be lucky to get off more than a shot or two if you're being charged by a Grizzly. So, I assume the round capacity of the Taurus Judge would likely be sufficient. What about if it's loaded with .45LC and .410 slugs? I know 45LC might be considered insufficient for a charging Grizzly...would the .45LC be more effective against a Grizzly than loading the Judge with all .410 slugs?
