I will be hiking in an area where large bears are known to be around. Attacks on humans are scarce but all I have is a compact 9mm with a ccw permit. What ammo should I use in case I have to defend myself from getting torn to pieces by an 900 pound grizzly and its cubs?
>>61987195Did this happen in Canada, or am I misremembering? I'm pretty sure he only hit it in the leg
No you are not. Stop lying. Stop sliding./thread.
>>61987211Kill yourself slavnigger, jfc. This board isn't just for your fucking war
>>61987195That depends, how many people in recorded history have hit a bear in the body or head with a 9mm and still been killed or maimed afterwards?
>>61987195it'll be ok. get some buffalo bore hard cast, the hottest you're comfortable with
>>61987195depends on shot placement>What ammo should I usestraight-up AP ammo if you have permits/are in a legal countryoverpressure steel core if not>and its cubs?you are going to dieif you meet a mother bear at a close enough range that you can't avoid her, you are just going to dieif she doesn't immediately kill you, you need to keep reloading and firingplaying dead doesn't work with cubs presenthonestly if you get charged by a mother bear, with 9mm shoot for the fucking head and pray to god for penetration
>>61988949>straight-up AP ammo if you have permits/are in a legal country>overpressure steel core if notPlease be bait>>61988949>you need to keep reloading and firingPlease for the love of God be bait.
Get and wear a bear bell, the purpose made ones have a magnet on them that can silence them when you want. it's best to have bears avoid you. also, use a bear bag properly so you dont attract them to your campsite. when i was hiking in black bear country, they told us to have two water bottles, one you used for ONLY water and one you used for gatorade/hydration mixes. you could keep your water only one in your tent with you at night, but the gatorade one had to go into the bear bag at night, because bears could smell it.Do your best to avoid a fight with a 900lb grizzly, id hate to have to fight one with a pistol in any caliber
>>61987195When I read the title I thought it said "Is a compact SAW 9mm sufficiant to stop brown bear attacks?"I hate the NFA so fucking much.
