For the win.

Not that 9mm would be my preferred bear defense caliber, but at least he was carrying a real gun, and not some stupid poly-striker plastic fantastic.

Well......
My HK P2000sk should be lot easier to tote around than my G20 with 6 inch slide or Ruger Alaskan 44.

Imagine what .40 would do! LMAO

"Hard cast" = the key to the success of the story, imo.

In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear confrontations, the Montana Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and be alert for bears while in the field. …We advise that outdoorsmen wear small bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren’t expecting them, and to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter….
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear droppings. Black bear droppings are smaller and contain lots of berries and fur. Grizzly bear droppings have little bells in it and smell like pepper.

I'm guessing a few of the "seven" shots were fired once the bear had stopped charging, but still had plenty of life left, hence the reason that some shots connected to the chest area. A charging bear, just like a bad guy, needs to keep getting filled with lead until the threat is neutralized, more so on the bear.

A grizzly's chest is still pretty exposed as it charges.

Especially after you tripped while running, or slipped once the crap made its way down your leg. Either way you are shooting from the ground!
