I agree. Were I hiking in Alaska I'd probably carry a .357 Mag.

Or a short, light rifle. I know I'd have a better chance getting off a controlled 2nd and 3rd shot with the 357.

And fortunately, I believe the adrenaline of the moment would mask the pain until the danger was over. But I think that even with two hands I couldn't control the .44 enough for a reasonable second shot. The bear might be preferable to that damned gun.
