[QUOTE="dogz, post: 3032894, member: 5429"] My main gun in the outdoors is a G20, with Buffalo Bore hard cast in a Gunfighters Inc, Kenai chest holster. I practice with it a fair bit, I also have a G17 and a G44 that fit that holster that allows me to do a ton load of work with it at the range as the ammo is a fair bit less expensive. IMO, fights with bears are a one to 3 shot fight. No time for more than that in most all cases. My G20 is user friendly enough that I can recover quicker and get back on target much faster than I can with the bigger bore wheel guns. Stopping a bear is about a CNS hit! I've had 2 black bears get after me, both had been hit by a client so they had every right to be ****ed off. The first one came at me from 9', I shot it right under the chin with a 25/06, instant lights out. 2nd one, came at me from 15', I shot this one under the chin with my 22/250, again instant lights out. My newest carry piece is a S&W 360 PD, sweet to carry as it weighs 11 oz's or something like that. I carry it in a "Yaqui" holster made my El Paso Saddlery. Easy to forget this one when it's riding on your belt, not so easy to forget it when you're shooting full power Buffalo Bore Hard Casts thru it..............it'll get your attention for darn sure. These are the pieces I carry in G bear country which is pretty much any direction I go from town anymore........... [/QUOTE]
