    Bear protection handguns?

    I currently carry the same Buffalobore 9mm Outdoorsman in my G17 as Phil used while out in the hills, not the Underwood 124gr +p+ gold dots I pack around town. That said, there's basically a 0% chance I'll ever require that round to shoot an enraged grizzly bear. Far more likely it'd be used on...

    Bear protection handguns?

    Just listened to the interview with Phil Shoemaker. Now I’m seriously contemplating the need for an 8-shot 357 Magnum… Taurus makes a pretty slick 4” option 🤔

    Bear protection handguns?

    I feel the same. Even though we supposedly have grizzly where I hunt I actually just carry the Buffalo Bore 9mm Outdoorsman in my Glock 17 if I’m not packing a short levergun in hand. If WA succeeds in importing more of them from MT or Canada as they’re proposing, I may be stepping up to the 10mm.

    Bear protection handguns?

    I’m taking one of my 16” leverguns over the 460/500 X-Frame everytime. Those hand cannons are way over my weight limit! Interested to learn what sidearm was used in that mama.

    25SST takes new Idaho record Bear.

    Ultra high velocity combined with monos is a devastating combination. Weatherby was on to something with their velocity and the 257 Bee back in the day and now we have the monos to really push the limits.

    Only 1 Rifle selection?

    I'm still thinking a fast twist 7 is as good as it gets from mice to moose in North America. A quick search over at Midway shows 100gr to 197gr bullet options. Choose your case and head to the races. - 7mm Rem Mag will always be plentiful. - 7mm PRC is too hot right now not to stay forever. -...
