Firearm BS thread

the 9mm will do for the Black bears 17 rounds will be enough to scare it away and still have rounds left over incase he doesnt scare easily

 

I need to have a pistol that can be submerged on a regular bases as ill be metal deteking creeks and old mining sites, thought about a revolver but 6 rounds aint enough

 

Most modern semi-autos will handle that no issue, forget a wheelgun for that use.
Just make sure you keep the striker mechanism clean and lightly oiled.

You can shoot a bear underwater with a Glock.

 

Why not go with a 10mm g20? 9mm will just piss off a bear unless shot placement is perfect.

 

As long as you trust it to reach vitals a 9mm with proper non-expanding ammo will do, but if you're buying a new gun for the purpose I'd never consider anything short of a 10mm personally. I don't want him to die, I want him to STOP.

 

Why not a meme round of some kind? I think 458 raptor is a good starting point here.

 

Didn’t even think about that. Now I feel extra secure.

 

I dont want to kill the little feller, Id just wrastle him if i didnt have a prosthetic left arm, second thought it wouldnt be fare for him....

 

I'm actually surprised the barrel didn't blow up.

 

Got the 74 out today.

If I had a 45 can that could handle it sure. I only have a 30cal can atm. I actually just sold it today, going to pick up a Tikka CTR 20" in 6.5 creed.

 

Oooo. I like.

 

I've heard that less powerful rounds can penetrate, but will follow the hide. Anyone else have knowledge of that or was someone just blowin smoke up my arse?

 

Any HK P30 people out there? Looking at the SK sub compact for a carry gun.

 

I have a P30S 9mm. Can't comment on it as far as conceal carry. Is a dang
good shooter though. Can't go wrong with one. A lot of people don't like the
paddle type mag release. I actually like it more over the button style.
Want to get the P30L too eventually.

 

I like how the decocker is on back.

 

Is this the issue that lead to these rifles being banned from appleseeds?

 

I could see it deflecting off a rib but following the hide sounds like it would only be a graze wound anyway. Bears are pretty thick skinned but I can't imagine it's that thick to deflect bullets. I know there was a story a few years ago of a guy using a 9mm w/ hardcast +p ammo to kill a black bear.
