    Maybe that's why the bear was so cocky? He figured "hey, they only have a Hi-Point! What do I have to be concerned about?"

    Now the real question. Would a 9mm Hi-Point worked as well, given it carries only 10 rounds, if you can fit them all in the mag?

    It also said in the comments that he only hit it once. From the description its likely good he wasn't in reach of the bear when it was hit.

    This is one of many instances I've heard of when someone had to go out to their vehicle to get a weapon. It never ceases to amaze me, especially in bear country.

    The REAL question is, can you get ANY rounds in a Hi-Point C9 magazine without slicing your thumb open???

    Just another feature of this excellent, economical pistol; when you run out of burrets, you can use the magazine lips as an edged weapon.

    At our house and cabin we have a dedicated HD long gun sitting just inside the door. It is for bears not people and is a .45-70, 12 gauge with Brenneke slugs or .375 H&H.

    Bears make Alaska a great place. Nothing like something vying with you for top of the food chain to keep you minding your P's and Q's!
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Like the bear was just starting to turn his life around ?

    I've let more big bore wheel guns get away than I'd like, but I still occasionally carry this one: S&W 296, ugly as sin, but real useful. Titanium, Hamilton Bowen sights, cut for moon clips, CTC laser, excellent trigger. Shoots 200 grain GoldDots into clusters, surprisingly not all that painful to shoot:

    I've got the .38 Spl version (242) of that, sans the CT stocks.

    What do you carry it in?

    What kind of CTC grip is that? It looks like a j-frame grip, but I thought the 296 was an L-frame.

    Here is one of mine...

    S&W Mountain Gun in 44 Magnum. It was dubbed the "Flinch Master" by a friend after he shot a cylinder of full power loads.
