[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2653983, member: 30902"] The problem with any and all of them is the need to put a fatal shot where it belongs under the stress of an attack. At least the semi autos give us more opportunities to succeed in those few often fatal seconds. Whatever you carry for bear defense though just like in self defense you'd better be fully familiar, competent, and confident with it and have enough practice to get the eye hand coordination to the point it's automatic. Bears rarely launch a full on attack on humans but when they do they mean business and they can accelerate instantly to about 30mph or more even quicker than a quarter horse for short bursts so a charge from 50 yards is only going to give you a max of 2-3 seconds to get your first effective round on target to hopefully at least slow it down or turn it.
