[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2183224, member: 5429"] Tough coffee for sure, spring time is a especially bad time to come across a G bear when they have a carcass! Oddly, that I'm aware of they've only said that he had bear spray. They haven't said if he had used it, and they haven't said where they found it.... One thing that people consistenly underestimate is the need to have split second access to your choice of protection. For me, I carry my G20 in a Kenai holster on my chest and I practice a lot for pulling it out and getting 3 on target as close range. Was just at the range the other night doing so. Bear spray, if one uses the new holster that UDAP brought out can be on my fanny packs holster and I use my left hand to pop the safety and I deploy from the holster. I don't pull it out, this is incredibly quick. I feel that the most important thing is to have it at instand disposal! A bruin can travel at 35 mph, that's something like 45 fps.........crazy Lastly, I strongly feel that a confrontation with a bruin is a one, two possibly 3 shot affair and if you're going to come out of it (and or want to) it'd better be a CNS hit. Just my thoughts on a rainy Sunday am, enjoy your day all [/QUOTE]
