There is a report from AK that a guy did the same thing with a 9mm. A one shot stop also last year a guy stopped a grizzly charge with his 45 acp. Any gun is better then no gun.
If I knew I was going to have to stop a bear charge. I would be armed with a rifle of at least 30 cal and a very tough bullet.
I love the discussions in these threads.
It still makes no sense to me. If a good size bear is coming after me, why wouldn’t thirteen rapidly fired .45 ACP rounds at least give the bear pause? Or at least slow it down for a reload of the NEXT thirteen. Wash, rinse, repeat until out of ammo. I’d think that if at least half of the bullets hit on target.....
I’m not wanting to start an argument here. I’m just saying: It makes no sense to me.
