    Default Alaskan Fishing Guide Stops Charging Grizzly with a 9mm

    I've got a thread going over in the Ammunition/Ballistics forum about the best .45 bullet for woods carry, and then this happens:

    https://www.americanhunter.org/artic...th-9mm-pistol/

    He was carrying Buffalo Bore +P 9mm Hard Cast. Took 7 shots. I guess I'll just ditch my FNX .45 and carry my LC9 for hunting season this year

    If I ever kill a grizzly I'm going to take my picture with it holding a Taurus PT25. I'll claim that's what I killed it with no matter how I really killed it.



    (I'm not trying to imply anything about the photo or incident depicted above. It just gave me the inspiration to create my own internet myth/legend some day.)

    Why did the S&W model number change between the article (3953) and Buffalo Bore letter (3954)? The 3954 is the blued variant of the 3953 (stainless) model and is obviously not in the photos.

    I had a young bull moose come at me and my hunting partner 2 years ago while we were quartering an elk. I only had a 9mm on me.

    Bull was with 2 cows and was paralleling our position in the woods about 25 yards away. When he saw us, he made a 90 and started walking directly at us.

    I fired one into the ground to try to scare him off. Didn't work. We were in the middle of a field, yelling as loud as we could. Moose didn't even flinch. 2 more shots in the ground and he still didn't flinch.

    I had a 17rnd mag and said out loud to my buddy, "hope 15 rounds is enough to stop a moose"...

    The moose wasn't charging, just still walking with purpose right at us. He stopped about 10-12 yards away, and was huffing and puffing a bit. I was ready to shoot him if he came at us any more. Luckly he changed his mind after a few seconds and turned back to the cows.

    When we came back to the trucks, another hunter camped nearby came by and told us he heard all the ruckus and was going to come check on us if we didn't come back soon.

    That day made me want to get something a little bigger to carry in the woods.

    Glad to see 9mm can do the job against the biggie north american animals if necessary.

    Do they usually charge on their hind legs? Looks like some chest shots.
