if it was an auto, soon as he pushed it into the bear it forced the barrel out of battery... done.

Here... hold muh bear.
Ping.
To each their own.
That wins my annual award for best opening sentence of a news article.
The Oregon State Attorney General’s office plans to file charges against the man for violating the Protected Species Act.
(ok, not true but very believable in this f****ed up state.)

“But the bear grabbed his calf, pulled him back and went for his groin”
Hate it when that happens!
...and my brand new .480 will be loaded at my hip...
I think a can of OC Spray could have been handy to have.
He needs to get a Blackhawk in .45 Colt and load up some 260-300 grainers. .45 ACP is not a bear gun.
Was his hand steady when he picked up his beer that evening?
.45 ACP is not a bear gun.
Hollow point bullets might have made a difference.....
What the heck do you mean, what you wrote makes no sense at all. Have you been drinking or smoking wacky tabacco?
“I think a can of OC Spray could have been handy to have.”
That, plus a .44 in the stomach, and the bear will say, “Whoa, that Mexican food sure is spicy!”;)
a Colt .45 or any variant has a linked barrel, and it you push on the muzzle... it pushed the barrel back and unlocks it. ie it won't fire
Tell that to Davey Crockett.
It makes perfect sense if you understand how a 1911 works mechanically. Pushing the barrel into the bear would retract the slide. The firing pin disconnector cam moves upward and blocks the firing pin. It's a safety feature to avoid firing when the barrel isn't locked to the slide and bolt face isn't against the case head. He also mentioned being a "left hand" shooter. He may have released the magazine. That also engages the magazine disconnector to prevent firing a 1911 believed to be "unloaded" simply because there is no magazine installed. You can still have a good round in the chamber. That "feature" was demanded by a few state legislative acts.
I was thinking that he needs to keep his pistol exactly as is, teeth marks and all.
“Oh, those? Those are teeth marks. Bear teeth marks. Let me tell you ‘bout it...”
(ok, not true but very believable in this f****ed up state.)

(ok, not true but very believable in this f****ed up COUNTRY.)
Their, fixed it:(
