When one decides to shoot in the cause of self defense it's never at 100 yards.....by definition self defense never happens at long range.......it's at 10 feet or there abouts!!!!

If it comes to that (and it's very unlikely) I really want to have something more substantial.....a .41 Magnum at a minimum.....

Trying to execute self defense with an underpowered firearm is a recipe for pissing off the bear.....I'd prefer to kill it!
