9x18 Makarov vs Black Bear

9x18 Makarov vs Black Bear

---

I wanted to hear if anyone has any experience/knowledge about this. My EDC is a 9x18 Makarov pistol, but when I'm out in the woods I normally carry my Glock 20 10mm. I was wondering if, for some reason, I forgot my Glock and just had my Makarov in my pocket and had a bear rush me. How well do you think 9x18 fmj bullets would fare against a black bear? I know this is a low powered round for bear, but the situation I'm describing is a last ditch scenario where something is better than nothing. I would have some hotter loaded fmj bullets like surplus or something. Let me know what you all think. Thanks.
