Any bear defense load would generate too much recoil. Smith & Wesson makes a titanium/scandium .357 Magnum revolver,and the recoil I'm told is hard,but still useable. They may also make a .44Mag model,I'm not sure. I'm familiar with the S&W Titanium. He was talking about a shotgun though, and a 12 Ga slug load generates about 10X the specific impulse of a .357 load. Ouch. -- Harry Andreas Engineering raconteur
