What do you think? Is my compact now adequate for hiking in bear

>>33522932
It's certainly better than nothing.

Not as good as 10mm Buffalo Bore hardcast or a .44mag, but definitely better than standard 9mm FMJ, or nothing at all.

nice patatoe cam there slim

if its a compact 30/06

>>33522932
Doesn't matter. You can just scare black bears off, and the best that can do against a grizzly is killing you to end the pain faster.

This

The quickest way to end a confrontation with a bear is to just kill yourself

That has a complete lack of cross sectional density.

but can you shoot this stuff out of polygonal rifled bbls?

>>33525406
nice meme ammo

Black bear maybe, if you shoot 'em in the head. I'll stick with .45 ACP hardball in blackie country, thanks.

>>33525484
I don't carry a Glock.

>>33525505
Thanks, what do you carry?

>>33525507
You'll stick with .45 because you can't carry anything with real capacity anyway cali faggot, don't try to act like a tough guy.

>>33525484
Short term absolutely just needs to make sure he cleans his shit regularly

>>33525484
Just put an FMJ at the bottom of the magazine to push the excess lead fouling out of the barrel.
Bare lead is fine in a poly barrel as long as you aren't shooting 100s of them in a row.

>>33525582
I stick with .45 because it's been doing the job for decades. 9mm? Never heard of anyone trusting that to stop a bear, no matter what you load it with.

>>33522932
>penetration is the only thing that matters!

I sure do love how /k/ has never killed anything

>>33522932
Bears are pussies. Your gun is for people. Bear spray is for bears.

>>33525596
>>33525609
It's also hardcast, not pure lead, and that 'no lead in poly barrels' shit was only done by one company as a CYA measure after ignorant useres neglected their guns.

I'm glad at least some people on here know what's up

In a well maintained USP it is neither a risk nor a warranty issue.

*chuckle quietly*

>>33525711
He literally can't carry that where he lives. He's just posturing to cover up the fact that his big slow bullets are just there to take up the empty space he's not allowed to fill with more ammo.
