[QUOTE="436, post: 1672438, member: 16609"] I sure agree with you, the Grizzly... as is Black's; unbelievably fast animals, as for carrying a bush type long gun, like a shotgun or short lever rifle, vs a chest rig revolver or pistol, the chest rig has it merits as stated, as does short long guns. But when a person is wearing a big ****ed off fear coat and it's swatting them like a fly and biting them like a tree mulcher'..., getting a good shot off in that fear ball is still very marginal at best, and when borne take a "round" THEY "really" get violently amp'd up and turn on the real Bear afterburner focusing on what just hurt it. So I'm thinking it's pretty much a crapshoot all in all, either you see him coming and have time to react or you don't; that's life... it kinda works that way in a traffic accident does as well. As for the 10mm, I wouldn't feel terribly under-gunned with one in a chest rig., and! with the "right bullet & load" but, it wouldn't be my first choice, my first choice would be .12 ga with a heavy hard-hitting slug. Obviously, there are many other options on the table, with that said; I think the old tried and true .44 Magnum revolver(s) is one of them, as with many of the other big guns which are more powerful than a .44 Magnum handgun, but, perhaps not as controllable when multiple rounds are needed to be fired, generally recoil plays into it the most, well, that's where the .44 Magnum seems to be a bit more manageable over the more powerful ones, again it will still come down to the right bullet and load choice, in even the old .44 Magnum... a cartridge I loved and owned all my life in both rifles and revolvers. Pepper spray? yep seasoning for the main course, yes I'm sure it has worked, but then so had putting your arms in the air and yelling at the top of your lungs while making yourself look big, I think I'll stay with a firearm.
