[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2045792, member: 103947"] Well I've seen a couple big brown bears on hunts. Seen the steaming piles and tracks of 8-10' bears. It's not the size of the bear that kills you, it's just the bear. Sure big is intimidating but that's about all it is. I fear all bears when I'm in their back yards or kitchens, bedrooms or living rooms. They own that real estate and respect is necessary. With all that knowledge and fact, my choice won't change on what I shoot best and am most confident with. That may be what is on my headstone, I don't know. What I do know is, just because it's the biggest bore pistol with the baddest name, doesn't make it the most effective weapon to defend against an attack. What makes the most effective weapon (within reason obviously) is the one can be shot and hit the target the most in the 10 ring with effective bullets and enough power to get into the mother board. Period. It's really not a debate. Shot placement is King in all shot scenarios. Not sure where anyone doesn't get that fact. You may be an excellent wheel man gunner that can outshoot most with semi autos both in speed and accuracy but most cannot. For those that can, I applaud you and carry on. For those that are kidding yourselves, think about a better defense option for killer bears. Like maybe a long gun of some kind. [/QUOTE]
