Good cheap bear gun for Grizzly country

I think a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs would be the right gun for a tight budget in Brown Bear country.
Yeah I know it's awkward to carry a long gun while you're hiking, but I would feel much better with that than even a 44 magnum revolver.

Off the wall thought, but since gun ranges rent guns short term, i.e. for use on their range, can they rent them for a week, or in this case, long enough to go on vacation with up into mean bear country? Wouldn't this be a good money making business renting or leasing guns long term, since many people like to trade their guns for either something different or the latest and greatest?
Among 44 magnum double action revolvers, two Spanish firms made cheap copies of the Smith & Wesson model 29.
Llama called theirs the "Super Comanche" and Astra call theirs a "model 44 Terminator" gun.
Both are six shot, all steel, large frame, double action revolvers with swing-out cylinders similar to the S&W model 29.
Th
e Spanish made copies were selling for around $300 to $400 before Covid.
( they might be up to $400or $500 now).
One of these with a 6 inch barrel wouldn't be a bad choice --if you value small size and low price over massive stopping power and high quality of manufacture.

If you already own a 1911 it can be fitted with a few parts and shoot 45 super. Near enough to 10mm. Buffalo bore has some hard cast.

this guy lowered the price from 600 to 500
A friend of mine carried a 44 magnum SS Taurus when he worked in the Bush. Loaded with solid copper slugs from Buffalo Bore.
I carried 300gr JFP Freedom Arms, flat nose, hard lead ammo in my Casull , IIRC.
Shotgun is not a bad idea, especially of you can handle a 12G 14" not-SBS from Remington. Use Brenneke 1oz slugs.
Penetration is a key for bear ammo. Do not use JHP.
Pick up that $500 Blackhawk, get a comfy holster and have a good time. Any chance you have to spend time in the part of the country you are going to is special, and I wouldn't miss out on it. Make sure to share some pictures of the trip when you get back!
