[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2044244, member: 4191"] I've had, and observed, too many failures to feed from semi-autos. Unreliable pistols, shotguns and rifles. The guy I know that got his face munched ended up in that situation when his Remington 30-06 semi-auto rifle jammed after his second shot. Bear stood erect on rear feet, growling from about 35yds. He wasted one round over the bear's head, thinking that it would scare it off. Bad move... The shot precipitated a full blown charge. He got one more shot off as the bear bored down on him, and the next cartridge jammed into the chamber at a 45 degree angle. After that, the bear flattened him like a pancake. Without the S&W revolver in a chest holster, his carcass would most certainly have been added to the moose carcass the boar was camped on ~35yds away. I won't ever carry a semi-auto for bear defense. They don't always run from firecrackers. [/QUOTE]
