It’s the punchline to an old joke. After discussing which pistol is best for bear hunting, the hunter is cautioned to be sure to file off the front site so that when the bear shoves it where the sun doesn’t shine, it wont hurt so much.
The message being, use a rifle or a 12 ga.
One ounce rifled slugs are what the doctor ordered.
Good advice except when hiking in areas where open carry is prohibited.
When hiking in black bear country, I’ve CC .45 super although we are looking at making a permanent move, if we do I’ll switch to .45 roland or 10mm glock.
