[QUOTE="MZmoose, post: 1888027, member: 41085"] I will agree that semi autos are much more reliable than they used to be. But having been in law enforcement for the last 17 years I have seen a lot of malfunctions in semiautomatics. They are usually caused by ammo, dirty gun, something broke in the gun, or operator error. Probably why they train LEO's to work through malfunction clearing drills twice a year. Almost every LEO I know carry an snub nose revolver for a backup because if it malfunctions you just pull the trigger again. I would not carry a people stopping round for bears,personally. I would start at the .41 Rem Mag and prefer bigger, with heavy for caliber bullets. [/QUOTE]
