Default In bear country revolver or semi auto, which is better

This is the video by James Reeves showing follow up shots using a S&W mod 69 with a 4" barrel, and with the Glock 20. James also has his friends shoot the S&W mod 69 with full house loads, vs shooting the 10mm with full house loads.

Round count can be a factor, with an encounter.

Like making a quick stop on anything, shot placement is more important than firepower. No reason a 10mm wouldn't get the job done with the right ammo and good shot placement. A miss or a poor shot with any gun is not going to get it done. Thanks for sharing the video J_B.

The very thought of a Grizzly looking at me makes me too scared to even think straight let alone shoot straight and he said "shot placement?"

You probably should stay out of bear country Vetter.
