No one wants to become lunch for a hungry predator. So with some upcoming wilderness adventures where grizzly bear numbers are high, I decided to add a handgun to the gear I'll be carrying. In this video, Mickey Schuch @CarryTrainer , and I discuss options for personal protection in bear country. I answer the questions of what's it like to be charged by a grizzly bear, why I chose a Glock 10mm handgun rather than a larger 44 mag or 454 casull that would have more raw knockdown power, and the best handgun for bear defense. Then we set up some targets and start shaving time off my draw stroke, target acquisition, and shot. We'll also talk a little about why someone might want to choose to carry bear spray, a gun, or both when entering bear country.
