No need for such drastic measures ,just plan accordingly.

I still shudder thinking how I wasn't even phased under gunfire, and fleeting thoughts of my family and training is all I remember, and how ****ed off we were that some dirtbag fired upon us, he got life in the big house 32 years old ,three years ago.

Sounds great but I pose one question how many can remain composed under high stress,been in two gunfights ,cruiser struck 4 times ,my partners and myself went towards the threat and ultimately won, a bear is nothing,especially when a 3in 000 buck slams his noggin,very hard to miss, 50 yards from...

I've seen more humans killed with a 22 in 25 years as a cop and counting than any other caliber, usually only a single shot, 50% body, 50% head shots is a fair guess.

This,

I'm about done with this bear thread, as most posting will never see one except in a zoo, ya'll can keep your handguns as most in a fast furious surprise attack will be useless,the element of surprise will kill you, something that will never happen in my case as the guard dog can't be surprised...

Three inch 12 ga 000 buck will do more than birdshot, that's my first shot with the Mossberg Maverick 88 top folding shotgun, the next shot will drop any land mammal on the planet,666 grain Brenneke magnum crush,12 years hiking, 10 grizzlies seen one at 50 yards no grizzlies,dogs or humans...

Reading the wind, sighting the rifle in to perfection and knowing where the bullet hits at the distances encountered makes for success. My cheat sheet is under the buttstock cover,and a rangefinder is 100% required. Even at 300 yards the devastation is incredible.

Tops even nib $900 ammunition is scarce to non existent,the same overpriced ones on Gunbroker are still for sale,can buy an Anschutz for what they're asking NIB.

Hornady Superformance 20 grain V-max 3650 fps,200 yard zero at 100 i'm 1 inch high 200 yard dead on at 300 yard a 6 inch drop,enough to kill what I'm after easily. CZ 527 American 8oz trigger not for novice hunters. Hawke 6x24X50 variable with the long range dot reticle. Anything out to 300 is...

Beautiful day went to range as it's not possible to get in a shot at 200 yards here due to density of timber. Benched solid after a few tweaks , I hit this golf ball at 200 yards perfectly, groundhogs and coyotes are definitely in trouble. The 8oz trigger and what I consider good glass is a plus.

Excellent, but i'll have my ace in the hole the danger now is grizzly sows with cubs,be careful!

That's Phil , he uses what I use in my 9mm Glock,when in Grizzly country,the load is hard cast,it will penetrate 4to 6 feet straitline in bone ,and muscle. he did a video for Buffalo Bore.

A buffalo bore 9mm +P+ hardcast will kill a bear, if you're cool enough to hit him,that's what we carry in Montana in our handguns,mine a Glock 19,hers Sig p365,between the dog,the handguns,and the Maverick 88, we'll never become victims,i consider myself cool under fire,having been shot at...

wasn't he on a tv show?
