[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1733605, member: 108576"] Here is actual accounts of using a handgun in bear attacks. It opened my eyes: [URL]https://sportingclassicsdaily.com/defense-against-bears-with-pistols-97-success-rate-37-incidents-by-caliber/[/URL] A 10 mm with hard cast bullets killed a black bear several years ago as the shooter only wanted the hide and donated the meat to a local cause.He wanted to see if a 10 mm could actually kill a huge blackie. With semi-auto's there is a problem called limp wrist malfunction.Women usually have them the most as their wrists are not as strong as men but men do have them too. In a blink of an eye incidence anyone could have a limp wrist malfunction with a semi-auto but a revolver will fire EVERY TIME! Practice more than you need to as the bear that attacks has had a lot more practice than any of us here.Limp wrist malfunction will not happen as much if you practice enough.If you don't reload buy hard cast ammo as a hollow point will mushroom and stop short of vitals and hard cast won't. Just my 2 cents Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
