Im running the outdoorsman's 147 grain hardcast. I think either is good. But from some basic research I did, the 147 grain outdoorsmans will have more foot pounds of energy. Do your own research though.
I also think pistol caliber arguments regarding bear defense are somewhat over rated to a point. It doesn't matter what pistol caliber you pick, they don't cause the high pressure waves that cause tissue damage the way a rifle does. So at the end of the day, all you are fighting for in the caliber argument is penetration to reach vital organs. When it comes to bear defense, whatever ammo you can shoot quickly and accurately will be the best. you ultimately want to let that bear know you are biting back. From my understanding, 9mm outperforms .45 or .40. So honestly, its not as bad of pick as others say it is. It is definitely enough for black bear.
