What would you use in case you come across one of our furry friends? I currently have a Remington 870 in 12 gauge and I'm saving up for a 44 magnum of some sort, not sure which one yet. Also not sure if this was more of a /k/ thing but I figured I'd try it here since it has to do with defending against beasts while /out/ting.
Imagine being such a pussy you can't go outside without "muh big bear gun" >b-b-but muh black bearslmao imagine being scared of some oversized raccoonsI already know you don't even live within 500 miles of grizzly territory, because anyone who lives in grizz country isn't a citidiot soiboy faggot who's scared of some animals like you>pic related, you will never know this feel, pussy
>>2782788Fuck black bears, I scared one off when I was a preteen. The only things in Colorado you have to worry about are mountain lions. I intended on doing some serious backpacking over the summer in Alaska. If you don't carry a gun or at least some bear spray for the shit up there your retarded.
>>2782788>muh alphakill yourself as soon as you get the chance
>>2782788According to your hand you were either fingerbanging Ms. Smurf or picking huckleberries.
>>2782786.38 snub, but it's not really for bears. I've drawn on pic rel a couple times but didn't fire.
>>2782818I have one, as a matter of fact. I'm just not sure it would work. I came face to face with a moose during mating season and they acted like they were going to charge me. when I had it, it felt severely insufficient. luckily they didn't do anything, but I'm still unsure, considering that I've seen it been incapable of piercing car glass.
>>2782788Yeah, right, City boy probably never even seen the outside of your mother's basement. Black bears are easily scared off just yell real loud and make yourself look big is usually enough. Confident with that than any sort of gun would do as long as it makes a loud popping noise, it'll be good enough to scare most of them off.But yeah, if you're going through grizzly country you need a bigger gun else them MFS will just plow right through you.
>>2782846That should be pretty good for moose and even bear for the most part, the loud sound and the relative pain of getting a shot tends to scare them off just remember the run in the opposite direction once they start booking it as well.
You fuckers can have a Casull 454 revolver and play like you are as skilled as John Rambo but you didnt notice the crackhead jizzing on your backpack, that you were wearing, in Target.
>>2782786how do you carry your firearm? i have a glock 19 i could fanny pack or a mossberg shockwave i could gunsock and stuff in/on my pack.anyone else have better ideas? dont wanna be too overt nor spend $200 on a fancy purpose built rig
>>2782895I typically carry my pistol in a holster I carry on my right side when I bring it at all and my shotgun or rifle on a sling which I also keep on my right side.I would get a holster for your pistol so you can get it quickly in a pinch if needed. A chest or belt holster would work and you can generally get them pretty cheap.
>>2782846I only have cattle, Mexicans, black bear, mountain lions, and the occasional jaguar to worry about.
>>2782895Barsony flap holster.
>>2782895$40 kydex inside waistbelt holster. On my right side because even my G26 gets in the way if i bend forward, sit or squat.I would never recommend off body carry unless you are doing a good set of labour. And even then not around other people. It seems like as soon as you put your firearm in a bag everyone wants to fuck with it. Also a quick response is not possible otherwise.
>>2782786Type 81
>>2782965Are intermediate cartridges good enough to kill them quickly and effectively? I have a tricked out AR-15 and all the kit for it but I always figured it didn't have the stopping power.

>>2782955>iwb innawoodscuck state?
>>2782846>incapable of piercing car glassChoose better ammo like Buffalo Bore or Underwood 158gr SWC +P.
>>2782786A can of bear spray which actually works, unless guns that typically require multiple well placed shots.
I carry a super Blackhawk, if you don't use a iron too often you may want a good double action though. Any wheelgun in .357 or up will stop bears pretty reliably.
>>2783159This is also a great suggestion if you don't shoot often.
>>2783164Damn that thing must feel like an anchor on your hip. I dont even like walking around with my snubbie on my belt.
>>2783182Chest rig works best.
>>2783200OP here, I'd agree. It's a lot more accessible with backpacking gear on. The last time I went hiking I realized I'd be fucked if I had to pull out a hid gun quickly. Once I get my 44 I'll be getting a chest holster. Last time I saw a cheap one was around $50, but someone might know of cheaper.
>>2782786Today I remind them.
>>2783662Would a 4.10 pistol be good enough to kill a brown bear though? I'm looking for a last resort pistol that can fend them off. I have a 4.10 and It's a pea-shooter.
44 magnum, or 10 mm glock with hardcast ammo. I prefer the glock because I have 15 rounds and can reload faster.I kind of want a lever action 45-70, but I am afraid I would scare the normies and it's overkill for my area, which only has black bears.Proper ammo selection is a must, no hollow point shit, you want penetration.Pic rel, my sw 629 with the ammo you want
>>2784500That's about what I'm thinking. I have a Henry 45-70 and that will put a hole through anything at close range, that or a 12 gauge slug. When I shot a deer with it, the organs were obliterated.I wouldn't be afraid of normies. That gun is fucking cool and everyone knows it. Even if its overkill, it will work and look badass while doing it.Thanks for the ammo recommendations btw.
>>2782798He's right though, black bears are pussies and you're almost certainly not going to run into a grizzly in the lower 48. Also be realistic, you don't have either the nerve or the aim to take down a charging bear head-on.
